Black and White Photo Conversions with High Key Special Effects

High key lighting simply refers to images that are mostly bright, with a range of light tones and whites and not very many blacks or mid-tones. In high-key photography, tones that generally would have been mid-range become much brighter, near-white tones become white and white becomes, well, white. This style of lighting was originally developed for films and television, back when the technology wasn’t very good at capturing high contrast ratios. Today however, high key is purely an artistic decision and that’s exactly what I wanted for today’s layout. For more information on this process visit my blog at goo.gl/yJuAya
