    Low-key portrait shoot

    Last night my camera club had a portrait shoot. We decided to play around with low-key shots for a change. No models just members of the club.

    Both lit with just a single 580EXII with a Pringles can as the snoot. 7D with 25-105L @ 1/125 F22 Iso 100 105mm.

    These are a couple that I like.





    C&C welcome.

    Sorry, too dark for me, I just think it looks under exposed.

      I rather like the second one. Reminds me of a music video I've seen recently where one scene was lit direct face on but from the side(If that even makes sense)

          Same here, way to dark and does look under exposed by quite a bit

          Kind Regards

            A bit too dark for me as well I'm afraid.
            You got the catchlights though which is good, I understand what you were trying to do.

              U got the technique right but you should increase power to your light source. If the problem was light catching your background you have to move your subject a bit forward

                  I cant disagree with the above comments. Too dark.
