Been playing around with high key lighting a bit to get the technique down pat only using 2 lights. Everything I've seen uses 2 lights to burn the background while a third to light the subject, but my 3rd light is on hold for right now.
This is pretty much straight out of camera (converted RAW). Very slight contrast and sharpening boost. Did I hit the exposure right? Comments appreciated.
nice model...S...but what your doing is not high-key it called hot white....your only
making the background white...high key is a differant look all together....Robert
Thanks for all the comments. Glad to share. Here is a picture of the setup and another shot. She was getting ill as a hornet with the tree, so we had to use the playset for a better expression.
Setup: AB800 set for f/8.0 on white background. White background with dry erase board for flooring (not as reflective as tileboard, but only thing I could find). Second AB800 camera right 45 deg from subject set for f/4.5 (making background 1 2/3 stops brighter). http://www.circlemgraphics.com/temp/img_1568.jpg
