The Dark, Moody and Dramatic look has been popular for the last few years. These shots often have dramatic contrast in lighting, darker tones in clothing and surroundings and have lots of shadows. Often the greens are desaturated or made to look brown, skin tones are deep, and many times the subjects are not looking directly at the camera. This look also looks great when the photos are taken in the fall or winter.
