Low Key Lighting is a style of photography that utilizes mostly dark tones to create a dramatic looking image. The background and subject matter is dark. It intensifies the contrast in an image through intensely reduced lighting. It adds a very dramatic mood to the images. This effect produces harsh shadows.
Rim Lighting is a technique that is used to give shape to objects in an image by backlighting the subject. When used as an effect, it gives the subject a lighted halo around them and a delicate look. It is most often used to define shapes against a background, but it can also be used to highlight subtle effects of a photograph. The light comes from above the subject and it must be directed toward the camera. For a more diffused effect, you can use a reflective surface to direct the light.
