High Contrast

 In photography and cinematography the term “contrast” refers to the difference in brightness between the lit and shady areas of an image. In this respect, an image in high contrast has a high amount of alternating deep dark shadows and very brightly lit areas giving a rather restless or uneasy impression. See also chiaroscuro. Opposite of low contrast. A lighting style which is characterized by high contrast lighting is called low-key lighting
