1. I like the fact that there is only a side light. I think it tells more about the person because there is still something more to be shown about him.
2. I like the halo that this backlight gives to the woman. She looks significant and ethereal.
3. I love shadow, so the shadow that falls on his face as well as the shadow from the blinds is awesome! Plus, it helps define the undercurrent issues that happen in the movie to this seemingly happy family.
4. Somehow they've made this entire scene look really blue and cold, enhancing his feelings of isolation after being separated from his family.
5. This photo is really interesting, maybe because there's a lot of shadows (which I love). But I think more than that, the way that the light gets softened and muffled by the curtains is really cool.
6. Usually you wouldn't want something to look SO amber/orange, but because of her setting in the alleyways at night, with only the tungsten street lights to show the way, I think she looks even more engulfed in the alleys.
7. I had to put an example from a documentary. Banksy wanted to stay anonymous, so instead of lighting his face, the main illumination is on his graffiti wall behind him, and his hands in front. Really cool way to light an interview.
8. These two photos are from the same movie, The Man From Nowhere, and both styles are really cool. The first lights the main character with really white lights; harsh and unforgiving, like the actions he's just taken. The second photo is cool because its minimal light plays to the difficult situations both characters are in. Something to note: the soft light falls on the girl's face, while the man in completely in shadow.
9. Shadows are awesome, and also, I like the high light placement of the lamppost.
10. Again, minimal can be really cool and sometimes more dramatic and effective than a lot of lighting, but it definitely depends on the story, setting, and circumstances.
