I had always seen/read/heard that high key portraits involved the model wearing light colors against the white background, and would be slightly overexposed. But I can't find any corroborating articles now. Maybe high key is another one of those things that changes with the times?
Great shots! I always understood high key to be an oversxposed background. Can't remember seeing them wearing black before, but I don't think that matters?
High-key lighting is a style of lighting for film, television, or photography that aims to reduce the lighting ratio present in the scene. This was originally done partly for technological reasons, since early film and television did not deal well with high contrast ratios, but now is used to suggest an upbeat mood. It is often used in sitcoms and comedies. High-key lighting is usually quite homogeneous and free from dark shadows.
