Today’s Post by Blue Moon Staff

High key photography is a style of photography that uses unusually bright lighting to reduce or completely blow out dark shadows in the image. High key shots usually lack dark tones and the high key look is generally thought of as positive and upbeat.

Intimate Portraiture is all about creating a mood. There are two basic kinds of images—and many, many variations in between. On Tuesday we discussed low key techniques and today we’ll discuss high key.

H is for High Key.

I asked this customer to stand in front of what was originally a blue background—changed to white in post production—this is almost exactly the pose she game me. It was refined after several shots to produce this final pose. The camera used was a Panasonic Lumix GH4 and Lumix G Vario 14-4mm f/3.5-5.6 lens at 43mm. Exposure was 1/125 sec at f/8 and ISO 200.
