Lowkey Value

My subject is a lamp I have posted on the corner of my room, by the window. The low light of the rainy day clouding the sky made it possible to create this effect. From the light source, on the right side, you can see the formation of the lamp which creates a highlight around the edge of the bulb sockets. The shadow starting to form from the pole of the lamp, makes the third bulb socket almost disappear into the shadow.

Highkey Value

The subject of this piece is the white paper bag. This piece demonstrates a narrow range of highkey value because of the predominantly white piece and background, with slight gray and a darker, close-to black floor. In this piece, you can differentiate the subject from the background from the majority of the highlight directed at the subject itself.
