A re-edit of the images from the low-key photography session I did quite a while back, with the initial post-processed images posted here. There is not much about this exercise either, just a repeat exercise on the selection of images, cropping, and post-processing, to see whether my post-processing techniques have improved at all.

Supposedly easy to do, low-key photography is actually tough to master. Low-key photography is a genre of shooting dark-colored scenes, with natural or artificial lighting emphasizing only specific areas in the frame. The results are often visually mysterious, seen as compositions of light and shapes interpreted only by the viewer.

Images were shot in RAW on the Minolta MD 28mm 1:2.8, mounted on an Olympus Pen E-P5. Post-processing includes edits in Auto Tone Correction, Crop, Tone Curve, Brightness & Contrast, Hue & Saturation, and Unsharp Mask.
