Chioroscuro is a lighting technique where strong contrasts between light and shadow create a sense of volume and dramatic tension, often seen in moody, high-contrast scenes.
When to reach for it: Chioroscuro thrives when you want to infuse a scene with mystery, tension, or high drama. It sculpts subjects out of darkness, making every lit edge feel significant.
Pitfall to avoid: Overly soft or diffused light kills the effect; aim for a single, hard source with no fill.
