BLOG QUESTION ADV: CHIAROSCURO

In a detailed paragraph, explain what chiaroscuro is. How can it be used to create depth in the images you record? How can you put this into action going forward with your projects?

Chiaroscuro is a lighting technique that gives your images the illusion of depth. It can be used to give your subjects more dimension by separating them from the background and bringing attention to details of the subject, and it can also emphasize separation between objects in frame. I can put this into action in my projects, specifically our film noir, or even when I'm trying to use three point lighting to light a subject.
