Here is my first ever set of low key images, went to dunelm and bought some black material and hung it on the curtains, got the 430ex flash and gaffer taped it to a white umbrella, set a reflector on the far side to reduce the shadow across the face. Will post some others later once i have had time to tweek them.

Manual mode F5.6 1/200 iso100, EF50 1:1.4 with -1.6 flash exp comp
Any advice/criticism would be appreciated to make my technique better!

Edit Last 2 images are f7.1 1/200 iso100 and have had a smoothed layer mask at 50% over the skin area (not sure if i like this effect or not really)
