Weekly Challenge #93: High Key Photography

"High key is the term used to describe photographs with white or bright backgrounds and usually with bright lighting situations that render subjects in a light tone similar to that of the background. The ultimate high key portrait is one in which the background is a clean white and the subjects are also attired in white. High key exists wherever the predominant tones in the image are somewhat brighter than the middle key." -Norman Phillips

This was my first try at this type of photography and one thing I learned was that it would be good to have some extra lights to help achieve the desired 'high key' effect.

I'm a big fan of white on white, and this is simply gorgeous. High key or not, it's a winner.

Lovely high key still life... when we learned it was shoot into the sun and play with contrast and curves in post processing... this is very nice. v

This is very beautiful! So hard to get all these tones just right and you've done it. Not a bright high-key, but lovely softness and bright midtones qualify. V
