    High Key Help needed Please

    As some of you may have read this post Splitting Coca-Cola, I have decided to try to do a high key on this.
    This is what I have ended up with
    High Key Help needed Please-_mg_0125.jpg

    to me everything is overexposed or is this how high key supposed to look like.
    Guess I will have to keep trying.
    Feel Free to edit my photos, However please explain what you did to them.

    The trick to High Key is to overlight the background without over lighting the subject. If you're working indoors, you'll need two light sources in most cases. You'll have to protect the subject from light overspill from the background light source (usually a piece of cardboard will do, placed between the second light source and the subject - or a snoot/grid if you're real fancy).
