Product Description
Photographers learn from a master the impact and drama that can be created through the precise creation of low key portraits-portraits in which the tonal range is primarily dark. While the low key technique lends a classic, artistic, subdued mood to images that may seem relaxed and effortless, creating this style presents significant challenges for the photographer, all of which are addressed in this book. Guidelines for selecting the best lighting equipment and light modifiers for efficiently creating low key portraits are detailed, as are the most effective techniques for measuring the light in the scene for correct exposure. Photographers of all levels learn to consider the impact of creating images in a controlled key.

5 out of 5 stars Great read...   October 3, 2008
R. Journeay (Fremont, CA)
I bought this book along with Lighting Techniques for High Key Portrait Photography and both books complement each other perfectly. The same comprehensive and practical information fills this book and makes it a valuable piece of reference material in a photographer's arsenal.


5 out of 5 stars Should be first book on pro-lighting   September 26, 2008
Sandesh
I chose the image that I liked. Read the instruction for the image. Tried to reproduce the image until I got it right. But sometimes the instructions are not clear so I observed the image and reverse engineered the lighting plan. Eg. The `boy reading a book' I was not getting it write until I noticed on the image that some light is actually needs to reflect from the book pages!
Please make this your first book to get pro-like LOW-KEY photos.





2 out of 5 stars too many photos and less info...   March 2, 2008

It has too many photos and only a few lighting setups, and very little useful information.


2 out of 5 stars Expected more for the cost!   November 5, 2007

For the cost of this book, I expected more information and up to date photos. I think that this book and the High key lighting book should be combined for the same cost.


5 out of 5 stars Great beginner's guide   May 28, 2007

The text is of great quality. Content is superb. It's a good guide for beginners who would like to achieve remarkable low key photos. It provides details on how to set up background, what clients need to wear, and lastly lighting setup. I have read other photography books and by far this is one that I can easily understand and apply. Overall I would highly recommend this to others.
