High Key

[2Stupid2Duck]

My first real attempt at a high key, and I have to say that I am quite happy with it. (Please don't tell me the white quilt is "blown" - it's meant to be. Light metered from just under the chin to deliberate try to explode the white parts.)

Not bad, you do need to light the background so it is overexposed by about 2 stops. Will get rid of the gray back there.

yeah.... but the skin tones.... I wish that was there.

This IS a tough pose to light. The problem is how to light the face. I suppose if you bring the main light closer to the camera.

Good composition. I don't think it's necessary to have the background completely white.

you should try making your own pattern instead of using the one you did, its too easy to see that its been copied over larger areas than it should. i mean, like take a picture of a real canves, or paint somthing then use that . . . i think you might like it better
