Photography equipment for Hi and Lo key

High key and Lo key

Low Key: 

A Low Key image is one that contains predominantly dark tones and colours, low-key lighting creates striking contrasts through reduced lighting. Shadows are now the primary element of the composition. I had it in on ISO 100 this produces a high quality image. I had a 50 mm lens and an extension lens which was 20mm. I had a black background this produces a lot of shadows. The aperture on the camera and the lens was on F16 and the light was F22 with 1 stop on the light camera. I also set the focus ring to infinity to infinity. When focusing my image I had to move the camera in and out.

High Key:

Hight Key is where the light is predominate opposite from low key. I had my camera on ISO 100 this produces a high quality image. I had a 50 mm lens and an extension lens which was 20mm. I had a white background this produces a high dominance of white. The aperture on the camera and the lens was on F16 and the light was F22 with 1 stop on the light camera. I also set the focus ring to infinity to infinity. Same as the Low Key I had to focus my camera by moving it in and out.

High Key

Low Key

The ISO was on 100 for both high and light key this enables me to get a quality image. The shutter speed was on 1/60th of a second and on F16. I had a 50mm lens with a 20mm extension leads on F22. Also the lights were on 1 stop and F22.

Health and Safety

The lighting could be a health and safety risk if you are epileptic, wires as you could trip over.
