high key just means that nearly all of the photo is made of overly bright tones![]() it's opposite of low key which is a picture composed nearly completely of dark tones ![]() this is different from a key light which is the main source of light in a picture |

that's a long standing debate actually some say that high key means very minimal contrast and shadows some say it should not be overexposed nor overblown but perfectly exposed but with overall bright tones (e.g. a single white rose stem over a white background) to get the sample you showed the light should be coming from up front and just a tad bit up to minimize shadows but give enough to show some shape... then overexpose |
