sfumato or chiaroscuro?
Continuing the noir-ish smoky-room effect, this time in the Prisoner of Zenda. I'm having fun with these.
But what do you think - is this an example of sfumato or chiaroscuro? Is an image rendered in black and white only defined as chiaroscuro? The definition of sfumato seems to fit here too. Can this embody both definitions? How would you categorize this style?
