Low Key

You will enhance the beauty of an object/person/scene by a low exposure and increasing the contrast for a dark and moody look while still maintaining most tones in the histogram below 128 with only very few above. The low exposure will give you dark areas and few light details and lines can bring out lots of texture in the surfaces. You will use this style to produce an image that carries stronger emotions than a normal exposed copy of it would possess.
The low exposure must mainly be achieved IN CAMERA. post processing a regularly exposed shot is not what we're trying to achieve here, however when the exposure in camera is as needed other PP may be used to increase the impact or drama of the shot.
