Low key lighting

Recently I was asked to shoot some photos for a play at my school. The play is called Chicago, set in, well Chicago in the 1920's I love this time period because the fashion is so, extraordinary, from the suit coats to the laced leggings, it all so different from what we wear this day-in-age. The lights that I used were two continuous florescent lights with umbrellas, if I wanted less light on the face I would use the umbrellas if I wanted more "harsh" light on the face and more of a dark background I would not use the umbrella. I love shooting with this lighting, it make the models look beautiful and the it looks super cool.
