Low-Key Lighting  Low-key lighting is a lighting technique characterized by the predominant use of shadows and darker tones to create dramatic and atmospheric images. In low-key lighting setups, the main subject is typically illuminated by a single light source or a focused beam of light, while the surrounding areas remain in shadow. Low-key lighting is commonly used in photography and cinematography to convey mood, emotion, and storytelling, particularly in genres such as film noir, horror, and dramatic portraiture.

By carefully controlling the placement and intensity of light, photographers can sculpt and shape the subject's features, accentuating contours, textures, and expressions for added depth and visual interest. Low-key lighting setups often involve using directional lighting, such as key lights, accent lights, and rim lights, to create contrast and separation between the subject and the background, resulting in images that are both striking and evocative.
