Typically, a photo that is very bright and has almost no shadows is considered to be high key. <\/p>\n

Some of these images were processed in the darkroom using high contrast film (they’re from the 1970s) and others were adjusted digitally to make them brighter and to remove the shadows. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I’m happy with the results.<\/p>\n
