High Key Lighting

High Key Lighting 

High-key lighting - a style of lighting for film, television, or photography that aims to reduce the lighting ratio present in the scene. 

Set up:

Here is a large soft box that is in front of the camera to light the model. 

Here are two Bowen Mono-block lights with reflector dishes that will be behind the camera and so lighting the background. This will ensure the background is well lit, the lights are at a forty five degree angle to ensure there is no light bleed in the camera's direction. 

We used a large tripod to ensure the camera is still. We used an F-stop of 11, shutter speed 1/125 and ISO 100 as it is in an artificial setting and so we controlled all of the conditions. This means we could use an extremely low ISO without the fear of having blurred or dark photographs.
