I want to get that white porcelain effect with skin but I'm not really sure how. Do use the Exposure Comp and go a few steps up till I get it looking the way I want?
 
Your not going to get white porcelain skin without the use of a filter (unless you do it in post processing).
A red filter will give a very white skin (fewer details though), where as a blue filter will do the opposite and bring out alot more detail in the skin.
Infrared filters will definatly/maybe give that white porcelain sort of look, but then you either need to have the subject sitting for a longer exposure or have a dedicated IR camera :p
 
Or use a flash ;) A flash gives of just as much IR light as it does real light. Which is why you can feel the heat of it on a cold day.
 
DO that in the darkroom using higher contrast paper.
 
if you want high key, find a makeup artist and have everything in your frame be bright, not overexposure bright, but say baby blue instead of cobalt blue.
