Candle Light

LOW KEY LIGHTING
In this Scene I used two criscross 1K Fresnels to simulate Candle Light.
I kept my ambiance well below Lens F-stop to create Low Key effect.
Front was the bounce of the white card.

Hey, looks very nice. Almost a bit too much of that rim light, though. The direction doesn't look right, like it's coming from down low when the candles are directly behind them. It's a beautiful image, though.

Hey Josh...

You right... I am aware of that... But you know... who is interested in recreating Reality (?)
Its got to look a bit like Italian Opera (hehe)
Thank you for commenting.

So, they were keyed with two 1k's...what was the rim light and what did you use for the ambient light?

Two 1K Fresnells did the rim (Low Angle). Ambiance was the existing level which was underexposed 3 Stops. Also there were diffused 750W Moles to the back sides of them to round them up. Part of the Scene was lit for 360 Steady Move so there were quite a few lights rigged at the ceiling.

I like the one of them sitting by the table better than the one of him holding out the jug/bottle. That one feels more like a screen grab from a theather production, The talent seems too flat lit
