Hi. Would just like to share some photos I took of my wife, was trying out a high key setup with my wife's new sweater. Hehe.

Tips, pointers, comments would be very much appreciated.

Cheers!

Great shots. The poses are lively. Those eyes sure look Filipina to me. You sure got a beauty! As standard portraits, they are very good.

The pictures are not really all that High key to my eye... I'd play a bit more with decreasing the saturation and lightening things up. I doubt your wife would mind having her skin appear a bit whiter than the norm. You will probably have to be careful about the eyes, so use multiple layers for lightening, specifically, Background, sweater, face and eyes.

I might also play with a bit of a circular gradient layer too..

While they are some nice shots, they aren't particularily high key.

High contrast.. yes.. High key.. no.

I use this High Key tutorial for when I do conversions. It's written for B/W but you can change the overlay modes to add some color into it.
