High Key & Low Key

Every time i get to go to the studio i get to do something i have never done before and i really love it. This time i got to try taking high- and low key portraits. I have accidentally taken low key photographs before but never done any high key photos. I enjoyed working in a team. Setting up the lights was not actually that hard, our team kind of had a scheme in mind, it seemed so logical. We decided to only use softboxes in this task. Now thinking back it might have been quite interesting to use more harsh lighting in the low key setup to really bring out more details. Overall i am pleased with the photographs i ended up with. I think my team did good in the high key setup, but i do think next time it would be more interesting to try other lights. 

The light was not set to be harsh. In the end we got the best result when the back light was not actually turned on. The side softboxes were both set on medium intensity.

ISO-100  F/22  1/30 sec.  40 mm

 ISO-800  F/4  1/60 sec.  40 mm

For the low key photos we decided to turn the intensity of the light up a little bit to get a picture with more contrast. I think we could have turned up the intensity even more and used other light sources other than softboxes for a more desired result.
