High Key lighting, and a wooded outdoor location....?

Question

As far as I can remember at this time, all high key lighted shots that I have seen, have been on lite/white backgrounds.

Is there a way to do the effect in a forest location, with all the regular trees and boulders that would be found in a forest. I havent actually tried it yet, the high key effect, yet.

In camera stuff???

Just kinda curious.

For now.

Answer 1

The easiest way I know is to place the subject in a shaded area with the sun striking hard on the background. Don't put much of anything behind or along with the subject. You really want the whole area, except for the subject, to be in the bright light.
Then, expose for the subject shadows and let the background "blow out". Then tweak it during printing to get what you want.
