Well I checked the web and found this definition:
"Low key pictures concentrate on the darker tones, often conveying an atmosphere of tension or a powerful deep strength. This ha sometimes been use for male portraits, though more often a fuller tonal range with hard lighting is used.
Although low key often uses high contrast lighting, most of the subject is likely to be in shadow, with relatively small areas brightly lit."
