11.01.2011 Low Key

As part of my eductaion I needed to take a low key lit portrait on a Hassleblad camera and colour print it in the darkrooms.

 

I am very pleased with the outcome and really like this lighting effect which adds drama and mood to the portrait. While making this photograph I started looking at other photographers use of this lighting technique and found that it works very well with group portraits, moody fashion/beauty shots and black and white portraiture.
