Light
Studio Flash
On-camera flash at its most horrifying: as the primary light. But if
you've got a Yashica T4 in your pocket and you are in a dark
theater, this might be the best you can do. Note how the
background has become 100% black. Note also the ruddy flesh
tones, courtesy of Fuji Velvia. (from Travels with Samantha,
Chapter III)
Another success for the Sto-Fen diffuser. Note that this was done
in a bathroom with white tile and white walls.
Canon EOS-5, 70-200/2.8L lens, 540EZ flash
For now, I think I'm just going to refer you to my studio photography primer.

Final thought
"Contrast" by Emily Dickinson:
More
A door just opened on a street--
I, lost, was passing by--
And instant's width of warmth disclosed,
And wealth, and company.
The door as sudden shut, and I,
I, lost, was passing by,--
Lost doubly, but by contrast most,
Enlightening misery.
