PHOT 213 ~ High-key Lighting

In its simplest terms, a high-key photograph is a bright image full of light and mostly bright tones. But good high-key photography has a lot more to do with the quality of the light rather than the quantity of the light used to attain a successful image. Central to all of this is the mood the photographer is trying to achieve or communicate, often trying to create a feeling of freshness or optimism. While these techniques can be achieved with natural light, high-key photographs more commonly relate to induced mood lighting through a soft or diffused studio lighting set-up.
