Low Key Lighting and High Key Lighting

High Key Lighting

We went into the studio to experiment with high key lighting, to get the correct exposure.
Hight key lighting uses to light, a light covered with a soft box is projected onto a white background to make it really bright. Another light with no cover is set on the object / person in focus,  this light is also connected to a flash sync which is also attached to your camera which will set off a flash when you press the shutter. High key lighting gives you a calm, clean feel to the picture.

Low Key Lighting

When were in the studio we also experimented with low key lighting so we could get a good amount shadow on the person. Low key lighting contains a black background and a light cover in a soft box, this light is placed to one side or front or back to create a lot of shadow. A flash sun is also used in this process to create a good amount of light.
