Hi there.

Can you guys show me your high-key setups? Looking for how you guys do your high-key lighting (not the high key dictionary definition).

Im sort of confused how to get the look.

Correct me if im wrong but high key lighting is NOT merely using a pure white background with your subject wearing very light colored clothes, right?

hehe thats what i meant, making sure that reflective metering on the background is 2 stops over subject to make sure it is pure white.
