I specialize in Chiaroscuro Imagery; the first thing you ask yourself is, what in the world is Chiaroscuro Imagery, and how does it relate to being a photographer or videographer? But also, why have I never heard of this? Please don’t feel bad at first; I couldn’t figure out exactly what I would call my style of imagery, whether on the photography or videography side. But a good friend and mentor told me what you would consider my style: Chiaroscuro or what some would call Rembrandt lighting.
In other words, being a professional photographer and cinematographer. or what some would call a videographer, I lean more toward shadows and dramatic imagery instead of having the typical bright and airy look that most photographers in this day and age tend to go towards. NC Photographer
