I was looking for another photo when I found this remarkable high key one. It didn't even need post processing beyond a straight BW conversion.

The lovely and beloved Johanna, from a photoshoot several weeks ago. This is my first attempt at a highkey portrait, and it establishes another milestone as well; this happens to be my 2000th upload to Flickr. So it honors Johanna in more ways than one, although she honored me far more by posing for me in this photoshoot. Someday soon I hope to do another one with her.

playing around trying to get a highkey look, it's so fiddly to blend it into the white background and not blow everything else up, so to speak.

This was a tough, but fun, challenge to undertake. I don't have any external flash units which most traditional high key shots utilize (according to what I found on the internet), so I had to improvise. I do have a DIY light box, which is primarily used for my wife's food shots, so, I had my little one stand in front of it (very difficult to explain to her to stand still) and I cranked up the ISO and used my pop-up flash to illuminate her face while the lightbox allowed the background to be overblown white.

The only post processing I used was a crop and "I'm feeling lucky" in picasa.

Penelope shows me how she pumps to swing super high.

This example of high-key lighting tends to show my skills at using professional studio lightning equipment. It was very challenging to get the light right. There were about 4 lights with different spots, hitting different areas and again an assistan who was helping me with blowing her hair.

The intention here is to convey the sense of looking ahead, not only in distance, but in time. The model is my ginger cat, Charlie.
