High and Low Key Value

I took a picture of a window in city tech. I chose this area to represent my high key light model because I thought it was an adequate example of high key value and because there is a huge light source coming from it. It is a very simple photo because often when I think of light photos, I think of simplicity, which can convey a relaxed or even speechless emotion due to the fact that nothing is really happening. But despite the fact of its simplicity, there are geometric lines in the picture, and to twist the idea of it being too simple, I took the picture in an angle to express more emotion.

For my low key value example, I took a picture of the black staircases in my school and in the background, or behind the stair case, there is a black bag, which to me felt like it was revealing a mysterious feeling to me at least and hopefully to the viewers. I also thought this was a good example of low key value because it seems that the black is dominating over any other color in the picture, and that there is very low light source being added in, which created some sort of tension or a dramatic scene.
