🔍 Core Idea of High Key & Low Key Photography

These two styles are all about lighting and contrast:

• High Key Photography uses bright, even lighting with minimal shadows to create clean, soft, optimistic, or commercial imagery.
• Low Key Photography relies on deep shadows and minimal light, often focusing on mood, drama, mystery, or elegance.

Both are used in portraiture, product, fashion, and conceptual photography to control emotional tone and visual impact.
