High Key Photography Experiments
/I watched a webinar about high-key style photography done my Lisa Langell for the Space Coast Birding and Wildlife Festival earlier this month….and have been experimenting with the technique since then. The goal is to simplify subjects…and overexpose enough to get a totally white background. I haven’t gotten to the stage of attempting any post-processing; all the images in this post were accomplished in camera! It doesn’t have to be a ‘good light’ day to do this type of photography!
Of course – we had some snow days which are a natural for high key photographic experiments.
The cut flowers were good subjects as well. Most of these were taken in my office with light behind them from a lamp or the window in the afternoon.
Peacock feathers are also good subjects. I experimented with different exposures and noted the color changes in the images below.
Now the challenge is to recognize opportunities for high key photography – transition a not-so-good day for photography into something quite different!
