High key photography is a style that emphasizes bright lighting and minimal shadows, often used to create a cheerful, airy, and clean aesthetic. It typically involves the use of overexposure to reduce contrast and create a soft, even tone across the image. This technique is popular in portrait photography, product shots, and fashion, as it highlights details and creates a sense of purity and simplicity.
