Low key photography attempts to create a chiaroscuro effect. Low-key lighting requires only one key light, optionally controlled with a fill light or a simple reflector. Low key light accentuates the contours of an object by throwing areas into shade while a fill light or reflector may illuminate the shadow areas to control contrast.

How’s it done then, Barry? I get confused with the ISO setting when I’m taking shots with little light, and they end up grainy. Got any tips?

Hi Matt,
I’ll send you a message on Facebook and also plan to write an article in the near future about the technique. If you have a look at the ‘Moody Self Portrait Photography On A Budget’ article (http://www.freephotoresources.com/moody-self-portrait-photography-on-a-budget/) this explains a similar technique and what is required….
Lovely shots .. Such a fabulous way to create a simple yet spellbinding effect.
Thanks for sharing.
