With my high and low key photos I wanted to focus more on close ups. I picked some objects that I could get close to and control the lighting with. For my High key photos I photographed relatively light objects and placed them on a light background. I then played with my light meter a little to get the background really white. For my low key photos I photographed objects that were already in a dark setting. For the bowl I noticed that the light coming through the window was lighting up one side of it. I then bumped my light meter down a little so the highlighting would be greater and the background would be very dark.
