Low Key - Sunday Selfie

Yes

YES! I love low key photography! Low key images can be achieved by shooting dark-colored scenes by lowering or dimming the "key" (or front) light illuminating a scene and then emphasizing natural or artificial light only on specific areas in the scene. When looking at your histogram most of the tonal range falls in the darker tones and shadows. I love the moodiness and mystery this type of photography can create. I took this photo while having the sunlight fall directly on the left side of my face which created the deep shadows on the opposite side of my face.

Today we are encouraging you to take that Sunday Selfie in a low key way. Converting your photo to black and white helps too (which is helpful considering we just did black and white week).

This week will challenge you to really look for stunning light and shadows!
