Multiple light sources are often used in portrait photography. It puts a soft lighting onto the subject and lights them evenly. this makes the image much more smooth, and well, soft. It removes unsightly textures or blemishes as well.

A single light source gives the image a hard lighting. One section of the subject is light very well, while everything else is eclipsed. This adds roundness to a face or object. It makes the subject more organic. The hard lighting gives it shape and accentuates texture.
