Low Key Lighting - Image Bank

I like this image as you cannot see the face of the individual, only the outline which allows us to gather that the individual is a male. This image creates ambiguity and this inspires me to try this in my photographs. 

This photograph is interesting as it creates low key lighting on an animal not a human. The lighting helps create a masculine appearance to the image, where as high key lighting creates a more feminin appearance. The lighting helps create a menacing ambiance which adds to the atmosphere of the image, enhancing the cats stare. 

The above image is interesting as the image is of a female, where usually high key lighting is used; however, low key lighting is used in this image, meaning that you cannot see half of the females face, this creates a mysterious atmosphere.

The above image creates ambiguity as you can only see half of the mans face. The man in the image is looking downwards, appearing as though he is disappointed. This leads us to question as to why he may possibly be feeling this way. I would like to try and recreate this mood in some of my images.

This photograph is of a female, again you can only see half of her face, and she is looking directly at the camera, in contrast with the images above whereby the subjects are not looking into the camera. She is also holding something over her head, suggesting she is hiding from something. 

This image contrasts the ones above it as it is of several people, not just one person. The lighting hits all their faces the same, apart from the first and last individuals, where the first individual's face is darker than the last individuals.
