depends. Is the shirt your main focus in the shot? or is it the girl and how romanticized you wanna make her look? If the answer is the shirt then shoot midtone. but again that depends on what you're trying to do. i can't give u straight answer coz u didn't tell me what you want to do.

Excellent post Br3ndan.... The 1st photo is the best among the set. THIS IS High Key folks. I dunno what's the basis for the comment "sorry this is not even remotely high key...". Actually, this post is a very very good example of highkey, the details on the highlights is still visible. Thumbs up to you bro. :thumbsup:
try to pump up the contrast..you wont get the same effect
... must tweak carefully I sayand oh dear... we are still at the 'key' thingy ? :bsmilie:
Like what Virgo said, you must know what you wanna shoot ;p ... I was just visualising whether these pics were meant to be brighter and cleaner .... the shirt details are still there after tweaking ... at least on my monitor

"High key refers to a large amount of that light being recorded making a very bright photograph typically presented in black and white. I think allot of people have misrepresented high key to mean boosting the levels in photoshop." [Quoted from unknown source by TheQuestion] - hmm...isn't AhV's edit considered boosting levels in photoshop (i.e. pushing the shadows and highlights??)
"now this is high key." - TheQuestion
"AhV tweaked it so it looks more high key. But its not quite there yet coz of one important thing." - TheQuestion
Sounds a little self-contradictory.

what are you a lawyer? I said it was closer I didn't say it was. I find it hilarious that you're trying to show me up when you've done nothing but try to do that and not show anything FOR YOUR OWN ARGUEMENT about why this is high key in your opinion.

Excuse me but you said "now this is high key" did you not?
If you said "now this is closer to high key" there is a HUGE difference.
I merely asked what is your definition of high key. I didn't say if it WAS OR WAS NOT high key.
You still have FAILED to define it according to what you've said. I'm just asking why you said in your first reply that it "is not even remotely high key". If you cant' explain yourself, FINE, I do not require it anymore. It seems that you don't know the meaning of high key to explain your rather brazen accusation that it is not high key.
On top of that, you completely lack any form of etiquette when commenting on others posts. Just merely state what you think without explanation.
For your information, no, I am not a lawyer. I find it incredibly hilarious that you can't back up what you said and keep changing what you say when it's painfully obvious IN WRITING of your own what YOU SAY.

A bit taken aback by the discussion on whether this is high-key. :think:
When I was doing this shoot I had intended to shoot in high key, make it look really soft and bright, to give like a sense of naughty playfulness rather than something that might turn out looking raunchy. The shirt wasn't important but by habit I wanted to limit clipping the highlights too much, which is how it came to look like it does now.
Very glad for the positive responses though. Hopefully the discussion was informative. Thanks guys!!
