Chiaroscuro with a single grid spot

Chiaroscuro means the contrasting alternation of light and dark that creates the illusion of three-dimensional form in a two-dimensional image. Placing a bright part of the subject against dark background and dark part of the subject against light background makes the subject pop out of the image

 

Lighting info: D-Lite 4 with a 30 degree grid at camera right. Triggered by optical trigger and an SB-600 at 1/64th power on camera.
