Simplicity

Examples
High or Low key
High key photographs have little or no shadows and usually evoke a feel of high energy or happiness. Often multiple light sources are used to create such images. Conversely low key photographs contain lots of deep shadows and in many cases lots of black to define the subject of the image, most commonly shot using a single light source. Use your knowledge of lighting techniques to produce you finest work.
