Dramatic lighting, often characterized by strong contrasts, deep shadows, and dramatic backlighting, is a powerful tool in visual storytelling. It can evoke a range of emotions, from suspense and mystery to grandeur and awe. This style of lighting is frequently employed in film, photography, and even everyday life to create captivating and memorable images. For instance, a single spotlight illuminating a lone figure on stage can create a sense of isolation and drama, while a lightning strike illuminating a stormy seascape can evoke a sense of power and danger.
