Chiaroscuro Review
Last month’s assignment was ‘Chiaroscuro’. Chiaroscuro is an Italian word and it translates as Light-Dark. In art, chiaroscuro is defined by the use of strong contrasts between light and dark. In photography, you may have heard it being referred to as the low-key or Rembrandt lighting effect.
In this assignment, you were to take pictures that have a strong contrast between lights and darks. By doing so you’ll develop your skills in the control of light and your vision in looking for subjects/scenes that show a strong contrast between lights and darks.
We had loads of amazing entries, so it was hard to choose our favourites. But here at The School of Photography, we have picked a few that we liked the best. To join in with these assignments please sign up to our TSOP Membership here.
