[QUOTE="DTigga, post: 102509, member: 12060"] I did a low-key photo shoot for our Movember campaign at work. The shots were the first I posted here: [url]http://nikonites.com/project-365-daily-photos/9728-dts-365-daily-pics.html[/url] It was the first time I had done any low-key photos but by the end of the shoot, I was happy with the result. The best results were when I used a semi-dark room with minimal ambient light. You want to give your subject some distance from a background in order to black out the background. I used a remote speedlight with a D800 but i'm not sure if you can use remote flash on the D5100 so you will need a different light source coming in from the side. Experiment with the angle and height of the light until you get the desired result. As the others mentioned above, it all comes down to the light. [/QUOTE]
