LO2: Chiaroscuro

 Use an Artificial Lighting Setup to Create a Chiaroscuro Effect. Creating an effective chiaroscuro portrait is easier than you may think. Use a flash with triggers and a light stand if you have them – and set the shutter very high, to remove any ambient light. This way the only light recorded is created by the flash. to achieve this setup, use one light source. Though it is perfectly acceptable to use multiple light sources, the idea of Chiaroscuro is to make the image APPEAR to be only be lit from one source. You must also remember to chooses a location that is naturally dark, then use one light source close to the subject to ensure it lights them and their surroundings.
