My meaning: High Key lighting is a softer form of lighting- normally used on females to get a more feminine.
A modern lighting technique that is based on using mid-tone greys through to bright whites. The use of bright lights and lighting to eliminate shadow reduced the contrasts in the picture.
This is an example of an extreme approach to this technique- the lighting has a really "soft" appeal upon this baby's face. Additionally, as this image has been put in black and white, the eyes of the baby is the most dominant part of this image. This example soft how high key lighting can be used of the more feminine shoots because if you wanted a tough vibe from an image, the better approach would be low key lighting for that.
Camera settings- if the light meter reads at F8, you want to make the needle on 2+ exposure, to do this you double the F. stop because this will make the background over exposed. Although F.11 can work if F. 16 is too bright/ exposed because this will keep the face dominate and the background exposed.
We need more light of the background that the foreground. If the key light was F.8 in order to have the background lighter, you need more light on it, that can be plus one stop. To measure the difference to use aperture. If the key light was F.8 the background light would be between F. 11 and F.16.
