BOUNCINGNRG,,,shooting high key one must never overexpose,,what you have then is an overexposed image..

What high key means is that most of the tones range from mid grey to white..There will be some blacks naturally otherwise the image will look flat..Skin tones should be accurately reproduced and not washed out..Works great with a blonde model wearing white against a white background..
