Low-key lighting is a style of
lighting for
film or
television. It attempts to create a
chiaroscuro effect. In traditional
lighting design for black and white photography, also called
three-point lighting, there are a
key light, a
fill light, and a
back light.Low key light shows the contours of an object by throwing areas into light or shadow while the fill light provides partial illumination in the shadow areas to prevent a distracting contrast between bright and dark. For dramatic effects, one may wish the contrast to be high — to emphasize the brightness of the sun in a desert scene, to make a face look rugged, seamed, and old, or to isolate details in a mass of surrounding shadow. A variety of methods can be used to create these effects.
