Originated during Renaissance in painting, Caravaggio took the concept further by developing chiaroscuro further to tenebrism – violent contrast of light and dark. This painterly approach was widely used in cinema and photography. Notable photographers include Eugene Smith, Ralph Gibson, etc. It was widely used in cinema. I clearly remembered Kubrik’s dramatically beautifully lit candle scene in Barry Lyndon. Sven Nykvist used chiaroscuro realism in most of Bergman’s films as well. We will try to achieve this effect by shooting some mock up scenes in studio this week.
