BLACK
Low Key

Photo & Video Sharing by SmugMug

A little different kind of low key. I've seen a few colour-themed images like this a long time ago and I've always wanted to do one. Some twentysomething years later, here it is. Although it is not a period piece, I'll reach for a Phil Spector's Wall of Sound fan from the seventies: Dave Edmunds - Baby I Love You. Simplicity is highly underrated. :)

    Baby, I love this! :) Oh là là, I'm getting carried away by the song!
    The abundant detail within the blacks blows me away. I can't help wondering how this would have fit into the scanner art competition that just ended on Worth.

    WOw, this is a totally awesome example of low key work! Fantastic choice of subject items, a marvellous arrangement of them for a very graphic finish, and perfect lighting to expose every bit to its full potential. Simply stunning display of how low key doesn't mean under-exposed! Superb! I am in awe!

    We need this on Worth as an example of Low Key work, for sure. Wanna write a tutorial?! ;-)

    Love it and how you've superbly arranged the pieces according to shape. Outstanding display of low key.

    I thought this was a boxed set of something until I looked closer. Great job arranging them! And I agree, excellent low key. Someday I will learn to do this right.

    Oh, Wow, I really love this. The low-key is superb and the graphic design does not evade me. Makes me think of those new IKEA cookbook photos. (albeit very white and hi-key) the placement is very reminiscent.

    Beautiful low key work. Did you do this in the CYMK black channel?

    Great composition, it reminds me of the IKEA inspired food contest in MM.

    This is really cool. It makes me feel like a spy kit, or like a photo from CSI where they laid out all the evidence.

    I thought this was some type of electronics gadget, it takes much closer observation to see what you have really done.
