To create a flattering portrait, a studio photographer can bathe the subject’s face in a strong wash of ‘high-key’ light to remove shadows and reduce blemishes.By using a white backdrop they can also hide distractions so that the eye focuses on the subject. Shooting in high-contrast black and white helps bring out key features. You can mimic ‘high-key’ studio lighting by using the Camera app’s Portrait mode to create a mask that isolates the subject from their background. The iOS and macOS Photos app can use this mask to replace the shot’s background with a cyclorama and adjust the lighting on their face.
