| What’s with all the drama?
Contrast! Remember the hard lines between values? Well, those hard lines form contrast. Of course, contrast comes in shades of grey, too. High contrast is when subjects are illuminated by a bright light source and cast dark shadows – which can look dramatic. Silhouettes are good examples of high contrast. Light and dark values will be next to each other. In the value chart, you would be skipping a value or two (or more!). Low contrast, on the other hand, often uses values that are next to each other on the value chart. (In fact, something that has only one value would be “no contrast”). With low contrast, values close together will define the bulk of the subject. You could selectively highlight or accentuate portions with lights or darks. |
