HIGH KEY Photo: an ESSENTIAL TO KNOW! The winter season is ideal for experimenting with high-key photography. But how do you ensure perfect exposure for bright and airy images? The key lies in mastering the histogram. In this video, I explain to you in a simple and concrete way what a histogram is and how to use it to:
- understand the distribution of light in your image;
- avoid overexposed and underexposed areas;
- obtain perfectly balanced high-key photos;
- make the most of winter conditions.
Even if you are a beginner in photography, you will learn to master this essential tool to enhance your high-key photos.
