2 6 Qualities of Light : 1. Brightness 2. Contrast 3. Color 4. Direction of light 5. Specular 6. Diffused
3 1.Brightness High key Dominant : light tones Mood : clean, bright Normal key Balance between light tones and dark tones Low key Dominant : dark tones Mood : mysterious, dramatic
4 High key High key : Overall impression : white n bright.

7 Normal key

10 Low key
11 2. Contrast 1.Low contrast / flat 2.Normal contrast 3.High contrast Contrast : ratio between the shadow and highlight Highlight : brightest area of the subject
12 Low contrast There’s no big difference between highlight and shadow.
13 Normal contrast
14 High contrast There’s a big difference between highlight and shadow
15 3. Color 1.Warm Orange, yellow, gold Ex : sunset, tungsten light (interior light) 2.Normal Ex : sunny day (daylight) 3.Cool Blue, green. Ex : (early) sunrise
16 Warm
17 Normal
18 Cool
19 4. Direction of light It’s defined by direction where the light source comes. Ex : light comes from behind, front, top, right/left (30, 45, 90º) side of the object. If we know the direction of the source, we can reproduce the similar lighting in the different situation

22 5. Specular Specular light Light source with characters : 1.Size of the light source relatively smaller than the object 2.Shadow effect : harsh, sharp 3.Shadow-edge-transfer : short, we can show the edge of the shadow
23 Ex : 1.Sunny day 2.Spot light 3.Flash (blitz) Effect : harsh shadow
24 Specular
25 Specular
26 Specular Object Specular object, Diffused lighting,
27 6. Diffused Light source with characters: 1.Size of the light source relatively bigger than the object 2.Shadow effect : soft 3.Shadow-edge-transfer : long, we can see the transition/gradation of the shadow
28 Ex : 1.Cloudy sky, sun through clouds. 2.Open shade (light source from the sun) 3.Neon light Effect : soft/diffused shadow
29 Diffused
30 Diffused
31 Diffused Diffuse object, diffused light
