First photo shoot with Patience

After lesson #32 I returned to work for a photo shoot. One of my co-workers and mates at work, Chris Peck, is an avid photographer. He suggested we do some "low key" photography.

A low-key image is one that contains predominantly dark tones and colours. They convey atmosphere and mood. A low-key image is usually dramatic and full of mystery. Low-key lighting creates striking contrasts through reduced lighting. Shadows are now the primary element of the composition.

I was happy to help him out with his low key experiment. We took the photos in the car park under the house. It was early in the evening and no other cars were about so we had some privacy. I played the violin and we joked around as Chris took the photos. And here they are:
















I would like to thank Chris for making time to take these photos.
