This black-and-white photo shows a cozy café scene. A group of people sit at a small table, drinking and talking. One woman holds a tiny dog on her lap. The café has big windows with posters and signs outside, and potted plants line the floor. The lighting is soft, and the room feels warm and lived-in. Notice how the artist used light and shadow to make the scene feel real. The way the faces and objects blend into the dimmer background is a key trick. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how this lighting technique works.
