1. Use high-key and low-key lighting High-key lighting creates a bright, even illumination that emphasizes the light areas of an image. As long as you ensure there is at least one dark shadow or area, you can still make use of contrast to enhance your shot.

2. Experiment with black-and-white photography Shooting in black-and-white is an excellent way to emphasize contrast. Why? Because it removes the distractions of colour and allows the differences between light and dark to achieve their maximum impact.

3. Create contrast with colours Using contrasting colours can create a sense of drama and excitement in an image. For example, a red object against a green background creates a high-contrast image that draws the viewer's eye. Similarly, in the image below, the orange paint contrasts vividly with the blue background. (As we mentioned above, a more technically accurate term for this technique is juxtaposition.) To achieve the most striking colour contrasts, it helps to have a good understanding of colour theory.

In photography, light – including its absence – is everything. The best photographers make skilful use of light and shadow to create interesting, compelling and evocative images.

'Contrast' typically refers to the difference between the lightest and darkest areas of an image. You can alter the contrast while taking your shot by adjusting your settings, composition or lighting. It can also be used to refer to differences between colours, textures, shapes, and subjects (though in many cases this would more accurately be called juxtaposition).

Contrast is an essential element of photography. It can help to create a sense of depth and dimension, making the image look more three-dimensional. It can also make an image more interesting and dramatic, drawing the viewer's eye and creating a sense of excitement. Careful use of contrast is also a great way to convey mood and inspire emotion. For example, a high-contrast black-and-white image can evoke a sense of drama or intensity.
