Light and Shadow

Playing with dramatic lighting...

Light and Shadow
Henry



Dog Blog Post #2066


Chiaroscuro - a Traditional lighting technique using strong contrasts between light and dark, dating back to the Renaissance.

Caravaggio, Rubens, and Rembrandt all employed it to great effect.

This is Henry, his tousled "bed-head" coat catching the raking light most dramatically.

For the shot, the flash was lowered to about 1.5 ft off the ground and the reflector was turned black-side out to darken the shadows on the left.

Ummm... yes... about that.

See, I think Henry's rumpled fur might work just a bit better for this shoot...
