The Noir Flair

April 10, 2017  •  Leave a Comment

Noir style portrait - some refer to it as the classic Hollywood style.

It’s a high contrast image shot with one light making the subject blend into the background.  An additional low light can be used to make your subject stand out from the background but still with a low key flair.  Normally the image is in black & white, which gives it that classic old time feel, but I think color suits it just fine too.  
When your subject is dressed formally, it can give your image that “Hollywood” look.

The main idea here is to keep it simple and don’t overthink it.
