Dramatic: "
Brightness – this refers to the intensity of the light. If you have an area of the picture where there’s a very bright light and another one with very dim light, you’re creating dramatic lighting – for example, in low key images.Contrast – when the light source is hitting the subject from the same angle, this creates what is called a
hard light because it creates deep and well-defined shadows." at: https://shotkit.com/dramatic-lighting/
