High Key - Image Bank

These images are all high key images which is known as a style lighting which is usually used for photos where the photographer aims to reduce the light ratio that is present in the scene. In the past high key was used for technological reasons however in the recent photography scene the lighting technique is now used to show up beat scenes and to expose certain dark areas of rather light photographs. I love all of the photographs above however my favourite has to be this last one where the technique has been used to draw attention to the models eyes which appear to have very dramatic makeup, this adds drama to the photograph. Another favourite of mine from this collection would have to be the chess pieces, I love the way the technique has been used to focus the attention on the queen chess piece in the centre of the photograph, signifying how important it is.
