It seems that over the years there is something that never ceases to amaze me in photography; the power that light has to completely transform an image. Have you ever experimented, for example, with the high key in a photograph? Doesn't ring a bell? I am sure that when you see the images that I have selected as inspiration, you will know exactly what I mean.
But first, let's go with some general notes to put you in the situation.
WHAT IS HIGH KEY?
When you look at a high key image, what you see is light, lots of light, and a white cast. They seem complicated professional lighting scenes, but the truth is that they are relatively easy to achieve.
The high key is based on white backgrounds and homogeneous lighting (without shadows), resulting in a clear image with positive connotations such as peace, purity, happiness, or life.
If you look at the histogram of a high key image, most of the information should be to the right of the histogram; in the area of lights. Although, be careful, that it has a lot of light, it does not mean that the image should be burned or overexposed.
A good high-key technique must keep the information in the highlights , that is, it must not go outside the histogram or, what is the same, it must not (in principle) be overexposed.
