High Key- The mouse’s white border by the gray of the table is high key because there is more white with some highlights. Comparing this to the Midvale gray of the desk it is resting on, thetc mouse can clearly be seen as high key.

Low Key- This classroom sign is low key because the black of the sign itself overpowers the light gray of the room number and braille box.

 

Value-Added Portraits: Phase 2

Work Time: 2 hours

Value-Added Portraits: Phase 1

The first picture, is define as a low key composition, it was taken place in the stairways, I decided that the picture would be darker with the focus on my camera. As well the focal point of the image is the light bar. The second picture was also taken by the stairs, except it was bright because of the window. This picture is high key, there is barley any darkness, as well light is being taken over.
