High Key digital stills

[ambernewton]

All you need to understand about High-key photography is actually already in the name. It means that the photo's key tone is high. Alright, that’s all.

let’s unpick that in more specifics. Key tones are normally the mid-tones, so by moving them high, meaning high on the exposure scale, we are making them lighter/brighter. This has two crucial side-effects. If mid-tones are bright, then the high-tones - those which are usually nearly white - will be even whiter. Well, tones can’t be whiter than white in digital photography (though they can in video) so these super-white tones are clipped down to keep them to white. At the other extreme, areas that normally register with dark tones are dragged up the brightness scale so that they become much brighter. The key to high-key photography is actually in the control of these dark tones: essentially we don’t want them.

Not only over-exposure
Now, you may start to suspect that high key images are not just about over-exposure, and you’d be right.
