PHOT 213 ~ Low-key Lighting Techniques

No matter the subject, there are choices to be made regarding the mood of a photograph.  Visualization is knowing – in advance of taking a photograph – in what mood it will be received.

In general, people view a photograph and have an emotional response. The goal of a professional photographer is to draw out specific emotions. Lighting is the best tool a photographer has to control, guide and promote how their image will be experienced.

One of a photographer’s greatest challenges is to know the best way to light a subject and to control the light to the degree that it conveys precisely what the photographer has in mind.
