 Black on black photography is a powerful technique that explores the delicate blend of black subjects with a dark background, effectively blurring the physical line between the two while simultaneously allowing for a compelling and clear subject distinction. This interplay is achieved through highly controlled and directional lighting; four flashes with tight grids accentuated the subjects with very little light spill, a testament to the benefits of a more focused, directional narrow focal light beams.

Mysterious. Lighting feels a little contrived.
