Film Noir is a style of movies characterized by low-key lighting, usually in an urban setting, with corrupt or cynical characters. These films were very popular in the 40's and 50's. Famous examples might include "The Maltese Falcon," or "The Big Sleep." A good example of modern film noir would be "Sin City."
Take a photo that represents the film noir style. Black and white is not a necessity but it is strongly recommended in order to properly get the right feel for this contest. Good luck!

Contest Moderator: Look people - just because a shot is in black and white does NOT mean it's film noir. They were usually crime dramas. Please remember that the theme specifies "low-key lighting, usually in an urban setting, with corrupt or cynical characters." ( 5 years and 2528 days ago )
karaflazz: Try to stage a small scene (search the web for film noir photos) instead of searching you HHD for something to fit the contest.
Just my opinion. ( 5 years and 2526 days ago )

I was very anxious the last 5 days cause i was running like crazy to gather all those things from friends & relatives,to find a place to do the set up (mine is very futuristic).Finally yesterday i manage to set my "office" on an old friends house & take the photo.I only wish i had the money to find more of this old things to make the scene even more realistic.I am very happy with the result but i know i could do much better under different circumstances.
i knew that it was you, well done again
Very nice. I like the small details, like the posters and the Detective License etc.
