Create Dramatic Images With Black Background Photography

Black backgrounds add drama and depth to images, and they can work across multiple genres of photography. But did you know that you don’t actually need a black backdrop to create an image with a black background? In this issue of Photography Masterclass Magazine, we show you exactly how to create a black background in a number of different situations. And, as with all photography, it all comes down to light.
