Low Key Lighting Setup -

Portraits - 

Low Key Lighting : is a style of lighting used in photography, it makes parts of the image appear dark whilst the others lighter. (This is also known as the chiaroscuro effect).

Low Key Lighting Set-up :
This set-up usually consists of a three-point lighting.
Key Light
Fill Light
Back light
Snoot
Honeycomb
Reflector Dish




Honeycomb : 
The honeycomb is a tight grid structure which is fixed to the end of a light to make a concentrated beam of light. (the reflector dish also does this to a greater extent).


Reflector Dish :
The reflector dish reflects light in order to create a more concentrated beam of light.




Snoot :
A snoot is a tube that fits over a flashlight used to control the direction and radius of the beam of light.

  1. good work here just a few points low key lighting is not quite the same as chiaroscuro.. also for future studio shoots you ill need to record the light meter readings.. and try to interpret what they mean (How they contribute to the look) in the final image.
