Here I have always wanted to have a go at doing some low and high key photography so I looked at different ways in how to creater these affects without the use of studio lighting . Whilst researching I found that high key images can be created using natural shadows on the faces of people if you were to be doing portraits and you can just simply under expose by multiple stops to get the affect you aim for. The same can be done with low key but you need more shadows to make this affect work better so unless I use a studio based set up it would be difficult to get a low key image to work properly.

Here above are some really nice examples of well used high key images as the high key lighting adds so much more mood to it. The high key lighting makes everything look so soft and the very small amount of blacks in the images highlight the main features making all the images look much more appaealing.
