Lowkey/Highkey Imagery

Below is some highkey and lowkey imagery that I found. To be honest, I'm not really a fan of it. I like the landscape images the most, but I didn't really find any that were lowkey or highkey that I was a huge fan of. Shooting highkey would entail shooing white subjects on a white background, and for lowkey, a dark subject with a black background. In a newer post (titled "Flag Book Project Discussions") I have included an image of some highkey and lowkey images that I shot and printed. A lot of shooting highkey and lowkey is the process after you shoot is the most important. For my images, I used photoshop to turn the backgrounds completely black or white, which is what made them more highkey and lowkey.

Flag Books


I found images of the flag books below on this: blog: http://www.herringbonebindery.com/blog/tag/tunnel-book/. I kind of like the idea of telling a story when you look at it from one angle, and then seeing a picture that supports that story. I also kind of like the black and white images, I think the most color I would have in my flag book would be white and one other color, or just black and white. Here is the link to this bookbinders webpage: http://karenhanmer.com/
