How to Photograph Nature in High Key Style

High key photography offers a fresh, clean, and contemporary look that can elevate your nature images into something soft, elegant, and uniquely expressive. In this presentation, Lisa Langell introduces you to the beauty and simplicity of high key style, a technique that uses bright tones, minimal contrast, and soft backgrounds to create ethereal and artistic images.

You’ll learn how to recognize the right conditions for shooting in this style, including tips on lighting, subject choice, and exposure settings. Lisa will walk you through the process of capturing images both in the field and in controlled environments such as your own home or studio. From delicate birds and blossoms to subtle landscapes and textures, you’ll see how ordinary subjects can be transformed into modern photographic art.

In addition to in-camera techniques, this session includes simple post-processing tips to enhance your high key images without over-editing. You’ll discover how to fine-tune exposure, soften tones, and bring out the graceful, airy qualities that make this style so appealing.

Whether you’re looking to expand your creative toolkit, explore a new artistic direction, or create work that’s ideal for fine art prints and wall décor, this session will give you the inspiration and know-how to start seeing nature in a beautifully light and minimalist way.
