My initial response to the genre of Film Noir was to take photos in a very dark room with one source of bright light to create the stark light/dark contrast that is iconic of the genre. I got my sister to play the role of the femme fatale type character and focused the light on her face and creating shadows over it, which is another iconic style of the genre.Some of my initial photos are shown below, I took them using a relatively low shutter speed, so I could see the initial basic photo, then using Photoshop I turned up the contrast, and I turned down the brightness so the light/dark areas were enhanced.
