Drama Lighting Using a 1-Light Setup

Posted by Dan Hostettler | Sep 24, 2015 | Photography Lighting | 9

Composing drama series does not mean to create dusky sceneries but rather working with well-chosen light/shadow areas and corresponding accents. Messages can be sexy lascivious, contain round forms, and be strong and bold in emotions. A drama/noir setup most definitely flatters a woman’s shape!
