Light shapes the subject and commands attention, making its thoughtful control crucial for establishing mood and atmosphere. Bright areas guide the viewer’s gaze while shadows create depth and emotional intensity. Low-key lighting embraces darkness and utilizes techniques like split lighting or rim lighting to cultivate mystery, creating an understated yet striking effect on the audience. Photographer and Educator Bobbi Lane will discuss how to master the low key portraits using classic techniques and modern lighting.

There will be a brief opportunity towards the end of the session for attendees to photograph. Feel free to bring your camera, lens, and memory card.
