High-Key lighting 
High-key lighting is a style of lighting for 
film, television, or photography that aims to 
reduce the lighting ratio present in the 
scene. This was originally done partly for 
technological reasons, since early film and 
television did not deal well with high 
contrast ratios, but now is used to suggest 
an upbeat mood. 
Low-Key lighting 
Low-key lighting is a style of lighting for 
photography, film or television. It is a 
necessary element in creating a chiaroscuro 
effect. Traditional photographic lighting, three-point 
lighting uses a key light, a fill light, and a 
back light for illumination. Low-key lighting 
often uses only one key light, optionally 
controlled with a fill light or a simple reflector.
These are just a few 
examples of facial 
expressions that may be 
used by the main image 
artist.
