p.1 #1 · Hi-Key portrait


I threw a bunch of PP on this one to smooth out his skin (which is bad) and make the lighting more dramatic.

What makes you think this is high key?

nice shot! a word of advice though, two words you might want to avoid stringing together are 'high' and 'key' - for some reason lots of very storg opinions are triggered when they are used together

IMO, that is not really a high key shot. There is too much background and I thougth most high key shots have very little mid tones.
At any rate, it is a nice B+W shot and pose.

It's just a straight (very good) portrait with a very light background.

Nice shot. However, certainly not high key - not even a hot white background.

Some reasonable samples of High Key are shown by Nathan67 and BrittMcT on this thread:

One of the fastest ways to get criticism on FM is to post a 'high key image.' There is rarely a true high key example, and there is always disagreement!

The problem with definitions is that it helps if everyone has the same one....
