In this short video, Damien Lovegrove explains how to take low light portraits and retain good exposure and tonal range.

In the first shot, Damien uses a tripod and dials in manual exposure compensation to get the tonal range spot on. In the second shot, Damien uses a monopod and multiple light sources, including a rim light to add depth and separation.
