Iconography associated with film noir films.

Here are a few typical photos that relate to film noir.

This is typical iconography of film noir, a bad girl holding a gun!


In this photo it is relevant to most film noir films, silhouettes and chiaroscuro lighting.


Here is a typical shot from a film noir of cigarette smoke, which has a silhouette effect. Smoking is a tradition in all film noir films.


Although this image is an illustration, it's a perfect example of a car you would see in a film noir, a black, shiny body with white tires and headlights beaming into the nighttime mist


This last image is great iconography of film noir films! Not only is he holding a gun, he also has a black hat on, but the light shining through the blinds chiaroscuro lighting, which is a contrast between light and dark.
