High key photography - photography studio

High key photography -

High key - bright, not many shadows, white backdrop

Low key - dark, more shadows, black backdrop. 

High key photography is used mostly within fashion photography and portraiture photography.
The purpose of this photography is to create a solid white background and focus on the foreground, also known as infinity lighting, along with creating an overall natural setting.

• 4-5 lights are used with this setup - 2 are focused on the backdrop itself and do not go on the model. These lights can be adjusted between the settings of 4-6. Do not let these interfere with the model.
• To stop the lights from interfering and differ from the model, place poly-boards facing away from the two lights. Place these at roughly a 45 degree angle and make sure the model is not too close to the backdrop itself. 
• More light can be projected onto the model, this can be done by using a backlight.
• The backlight is a higher light which further separates the model from the backdrop. In any studio setups for high key photography, this light would bring the subject forward & prominent from the backdrop.

Silver - contrasts

Gold - radiates a warm glow & overall gives a warmer tone. used mostly in vivid mode on a Nikon.
White - a natural reflection onto the model / subject & colour neutral light. use if the brightness onto a models face is desired to be higher.

High key - bright, not many shadows, white backdrop

Low key - dark, more shadows, black backdrop. 

Projection photography -

This type of photography can be abstract and involves a projector. The effect created depends on where the projector is placed and uses continuous lighting. 

Some info about pp - 

• The closer the projector to the backdrop the smaller the image will be
• Putting the projector on the floor allows it to project across the whole backdrop
