Rubric   Assignment: For this assignment you will photograph 2 frames with high key and low key images.If low key is moody and high key is more airy then consider not only your subject while you are shooting but also your lighting and camera settings. Some of this can be done after the fact with your editing in photoshop, and some has to be done in camera while you are shooting. You are showing me equal high key and low key photographs for this assignment. It may take two separate shoots with different ideas in mind.  Steps: • 2 resources on low key photography (article #1, article #2) •  this resource on high key photography • When you are focused on low key, be sure to have a darker background and expose it a little below what the light meter asks for. ​• When you are exposing for high key, make sure to have a brighter background and expose maybe a little bit higher than the light meter dictates
