High-Key Lighting: A Dramatic Style for Bright and Bold Images with Leonardo-ai

High-key lighting is a dramatic style that utilizes bright, even illumination to create a sense of vibrancy and optimism. It’s often used in photography, film, and video games to emphasize certain elements, create a specific mood, or enhance the overall visual impact of a scene. Think of the bright, sun-drenched landscapes in adventure movies, the warm glow of a campfire illuminating a family’s faces, or the neon lights of a bustling city reflecting in a gamer’s eyes. These are all examples of high-key lighting used to create a specific visual effect and enhance the storytelling.
