High key photography is the use of ‘high key lighting’ in the images. High key lighting is very bright, with exposure levels to high values. High key images usually present a positive feel, along with being somewhat ramatic.
This is the set up used for the high key photo shoot that we did, two lights with soft boxes facing towards the model and a white background. The camera was set to an ISO of 200, shutter speed of 1/125 and we started off with the f number at 22 for the first image:
For this image I lowered the f number to 20, which made the photo slightly lighter.
For this image I lowered the f number again, this time to 18, this again lightened the photo.
For the final photo I once again lowered the f number to 16, giving me the brightest photograph of all four shots.
