Low Key Portraits











Someone asked me the other day what is meant by hi key and low key. This is simply the term used to describe the amount of light used in the background of your subject thus the term Hi-key means lighter tonal values generally meaning white, but can be light greys or beiges or even yellow or light pink or orange hues. Low key is any darker colored backgrounds predominatly black but not always.
