Portraits - low contrast

These two portraits are low contrast, low-key images.

Conventional wisdom says that, for maximum impact, the blacks in a B&W image should include pure blacks, while the whites should be bright (but not blown out). The tones in these portraits do not follow this conventional wisdom; the lightest tones are barely above medium grey, and the "blacks" are a dark grey containing no detail. 



The brightest part of each image is at the earring.
