I under-exposed these on purpose. I got inspired by Alan Schaller's "negative space set". I did quite heavy post-processing too, which I don't normally do. But I liked the results and want to share some.
Couple more with less contrasty look. I often look for pretty balanced exposure and dig up details from the shadows while also preserving the highlights. Previously, I used to meter for highlights and maybe I should get back to that habit and let the blacks be black and shadows be non-visible.
