Week 7 low key lighting

Low-key lighting is a style of lightingfor photography, film or television. It is a necessary element in creating a chiaroscuro effect. Traditional photographic lighting, three-point lighting uses a key light, a fill light, and a back light for illumination. Low-key lighting often uses only one key light, optionally controlled with a fill light or a simple reflector.

This was shot in the studio , we used 1 key light on the right and when shot because only one light was used it created a large shadow on the left side of her face and body . Becaise the lighting was low key the background of the image darkened tho originally white 

 We changed tactics in this image getting Nat to sit under the lighting changing my vantage point and also her gaze , we also used the honey comb in this image ,  the shadow is softer than the first image and the light is subtle .  It has still created a beautiful shadow on her face and behind her . 

This image has a bit of the 2 first images in it , the dramatic harsh lighting and shadows of the first Image but the gaze and innocence of the second image , we had Nat directly facing the key light and composed her in the center of the frame ,
