We went into the studio and got to experiment with high key lighting to try and get the right exposure and see what sort of photos we could take with the right equipment. High key lighting involves using two lights, one light covered with a soft box which is shone onto the backdrop to make it bright and then another light without a cover is shone onto the object of the photo to make it even brighter. The light without a cover is connected to a light sync which is also connected to your camera to set off a flash when you press the shutter. High key lighting creates a bright airy feel to the photograph.
We also got the chance to experiment with Low key lighting, which is usually taken in darkness with a black background and just a light to create shadows on the subject. The light is placed at either one side or the front or back of the subject to create a shadow and a sort of mysterious look to the photograph.
