Exploring light & shadow
Playing around with the possibilities of atmospheric lighting in portraits based on Chiaroscuro.
Chiaroscuro is an artistic technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume and three-dimensionality in paintings and drawings. Originating during the Renaissance, it was employed by artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Caravaggio to enhance the dramatic effect of their work and to highlight important elements within a composition. The technique emphasizes the interplay of light and shadow to achieve a realistic representation of figures and objects, giving them a lifelike and sculptural quality. Chiaroscuro remains a fundamental concept in art, influencing various styles and movements throughout history.
