Hi, Marnie, High-Key, normal, and Low-Key respectively refer to the tonal range
of the print. High-Key is a print with very little dark area. Normal is, of
course, a print with a full tonal range. and Low-Key is a print with very
little light area. Properly done there should be some shadow detail in a
high-key print (usually the eyes in high-key portraits), and some high-lights
in a low-key print (again usually the catch-lights in the eyes in the case of
portraits. So properly the prints really do have a full tonal range but the
high-lights predominate in a high-key print, and the shadows predominate in a
low-key print.
