For the past five years, Noirvember has been an annual month-long celebration of film noir in the month of November. In that time I've watched a lot of film noir (there's so many!). What I've compiled here is 30 films that I think distill the essence of the noir era (roughly 1941 to 1958). I tried to pick images that really encapsulate the tone of the era. I also included one quote from each film that I love. For more noir titles, They Shoot Pictures, Don't They? has a great list, with over 1000 films! If you participate, don't forget to use #Noirvember on your posts on any social media channel. Happy (or maybe, unhappy) watching!

Once you've learned the basics of lighting, composition, and camera settings, one of the hardest things to figure out as a photographer is your personal
Moody, dark, and dramatic — the term "film noir" immediately invokes cinematic scenes of crime-solving detectives and notorious mobsters in our minds. Film noir is interesting as a genre in photography too. In this article, we take a look at how to shoot film noir style portraits inside a studio. This video comes from Adorama TV as Gavin Hoey takes us through his experience in
Film Noir shoot number 2 with the BTCR photo crew and our principal actor Caspar Braithwaite :) This time I wanted to explore the look of a downward shaft of light used so effectively in many noir movies, and in Ridley Scott's Bladerunner, which to me is "noir in colour". You need some haze. I don't have a specific haze machine, but if you leave regular fog to marinate for a while it evens out nicely. A pop-up reflector can speed up the fog mixing process. The light shaft and nice sharp shadows is produced by my trusty Lightblaster: a small spot projector for speed-lights that I really love. I've got a 16-35mm lens at 24mm on it for this from a height of about 4m. The light is held up by my Lencarta C-Stand with extension arm and even though the light on it is not heavy, I put a 5kg mass on the opposite leg. Shooting through a spot projector and a lot of haze is a lot to ask of a Speed-light powered by 4 AA batteries. However, I've found pushing a 600w-s studio head through the Lightblaster actually produces much less light than using a Speed-light zoomed in - it's just the shape of the flash tubes - those studio lights have big round tubes that just aren't over the hole the light needs to go down... The first set of batteries were too hot to hold when they were done. 5 Photographers all shooting one Speed-light 1/1 will make that happen :) Incidentally, we learned a few things about Yongnuo radio triggers on this shoot: the Yongnuo YN622 transceivers for Nikon will work just fine as triggers on a Canon camera - for basic centre pin firing only. However, the YN622C-TX for Canon, on a Canon camera, will not talk to the Nikon version of the YN622 acting as a receiver on the light. Shooting on f/5.6 and ISO 400 means reducing the ambient light as much as possible, however it's not too bad and drawing the curtains turned out to be sufficient. In this shot we have Caspar Braithwaite as Rick Dangerous in the back, and Iain Nicol as the guy in the chair - making nice shadows on the floor :) Thanks to the BTCR Photo club regulars: Iain Nicol, Joe Foster, Brian Sanger, Jo Sellars and to Caspar for another fantastic performance as our tough guy private eye.
