Here I have taken photos of subject with different levels of lighting and different backgrounds. Firstly I used a harsh bright lighting with a black background then gradually made the light dimmer and took multiple pictures like this. I then told the subject to look down when I did this I increased the lighting slightly this gave it a nice chiaroscuro affect. I then changed the background to white and went through the same steps in reverse order. This made the photos a lot brighter as the white background was reflecting the light rather than absorbing it like the black background.
