Här är mer info om High-Key Lightning:

"A high key portrait setup would involve the use of a white or off white background and brighter clothing. A high key portrait can be challenging as it requires a great deal of light control and has the most risk of overexposure and loss of detail. In general they would have a low lighting ratio near 2:1. A common background for high key portraits is paper which is slightly overexposed resulting in a pure white seamless background and a feeling of cleanliness. Great care is usually taken to separate the subject from the background to eliminate shadows. These portraits also tend to require more light and thus more power and lighting equipment to create."

I beskrivningen av boken "Lighting Techniques for High Key Portrait Photography" av Norman Phillips står det:

---

Photographers will learn from a master the impact and beauty that can be created through the precision creation of high key portraits. In photography, the word key is used to describe the overall tonal range in which the photograph is created-including the background, subject, props, and clothing. If the tones are very light, the image is called "high key." Because photographers often neglect to consider the impact of creating images in a controlled key, many portraits fall short of their potential. This book provides helpful guidelines for selecting the best lighting equipment and light modifiers for efficiently creating high key portraits, as well as detailing techniques needed to select the perfect clothes and props for a high key portrait.

Om färgtonerna i bilden är väldigt ljusa kallas det high-key. Om de är låga kallas det low-key. På svenska kanske hög-tonsfotografering. Låter lite konstigt men finns det inget bättre ord så …

Vad snabba ni var, bra citat. Niklas har du boken?

Har ni några exempel på bilder som ni har tagit själva?

Hälsningar

Högdager heter det väl på svenska.

#3: Nej Robert, jag har inte boken. Den finns på Amazon och förmodligen också på Adlibris.

Jag har inga bilder som jag medvetet har gjort "high-key".
