Norman Phillips, author of Lighting Techniques for High Key Portrait Photography and Lighting Techniques for Low Key Portrait Photography, examines a much over-looked area of photography: the middle key. As Phillips shows, the fact that many photographers ignore middle key as a way of structuring their images results in portraits that may be cluttered or be visually confusing because elements of the scene, subject, clothing, props, and lighting are actually at odds with each other. By approaching these images with the concept of middle key in mind, it becomes much easier to avoid common errors and produce images with greater impact.

The “key” of an image describes its overall tonal range—including the subject, background, clothes and props. In low key images, these tones are primarily dark. While simple in theory, creating this style presents some unique challenges. Fortunately, the techniques in this book will show you how to best meet these challenges to create images your clients will love.
Tips for creating a studio setup, using window light, and employing natural light on location are all covered in detail. Readers will also learn how to meter accurately for perfect exposures, select an ideal background, and compose low key images.
