Lowkey photography includes using a low ISO and a black backdrop setting. The idea is opposite to high-key photography and creates more shadows than highlight.
Lowkey photography can be used with the boom light. The usual number of this is 4 however can be adjusted to 3 when used for a models profile etc.
A gradient of light is created when a shadow goes across one side of a models face from light to dark.
When using light which is not diffused - reflect this light onto 2 poly boards. The poly board allows the light to reflect onto the board and back out to the model. This gives further light for the model.
Silver umbrellas -
These are best for low-key photography as they create a good contrasted light. Using a diffused white umbrella may lead to different results. The results from using the silver umbrella are as shown in grey scale. Evidently, there are highlighted parts of my face from one side and my hair on the other side dark. However, there is also a faint line outlining my hair as a result of the light from the umbrella.
- Light reflects onto features of face
- Faint outline of hair shown at the rendered end of the photograph
