Low Key photography is one of the most challenging forms of photography, especially for those who do not have a photo studio. I rarely make such low key photos and when I try them, I only do it because I like the challenge of any kind!
These are two older photos I took during an outdoor performance in Targoviste. There were many artists and among them was a well-known stripper, who turned into … Zorro for a few minutes. I couldn’t say that I was extremely impressed but … I was probably more concerned with taking pictures than watching dance! I processed the photos in PS and this is the result. I hope you enjoy.

Great picture. I’m not a good photographer so I don’t know what “low key” means ?
Low key photography consists in shooting dark-colored scene.
The idea is to create a dark frame that highlights the illuminated subject.
Thank you very much for the explanation. I’ll try. It sounds interesting.
You could teach me a lot about photography. This type sounds really interesting.
It is! Low-key photography uses predominantly dark tones to create a dramatic image.
I like the unmasked Zorro. …
He looks great, doesn’t he??
