The thinking behind lighting and grading of ‘ Moonlight’ film by Barry Jenkings

“To capture Miami, Laxton knew he’d want the actors’ skin to have a big shine, so the audience could feel the sun beating down on them. Building off this, he decided he would really push the contrast ratio in virtually every scene, using a single source lighting scheme with no fill light, so the light would fall off into shadows and sculpt the characters’ faces.”-James Laxton Discussing how they created the lighting for ‘Moonlight’
