Low key lighting is great for infusing mood into black and white photos. This is a photography lighting technique using one light source, the key light. Using a low key light, with little or no fill light, results in images with deep shadows.

A low key setup is high contrast and relies on the careful positioning of the key light for the lighting style to look best. In movies, this dark lighting style is often called ‘film noir.’ It was made popular in Europe with black and white films in the 1940s and 1950s. In painting, it’s traditionally known as chiaroscuro or Rembrandt lighting.
