Definition - High-key lighting is a style of lighting for film, television, or photography that aims to reduce the lighting ratio present in the scene.
How to shoot high key lighting:
The image above shows the set-up in the studio that is needed to take a high-key lighting photograph. There are two lights that are behind the subject which are directed at the background. There is then one that is on the subject, both of these lights will be at different strengths, this is due to the lighting ratio 2:1. The lights at the back will need to be double the brightness of the front in order for the background to appear white in the photograph. The front light will be half the power so to expose the subject but keep them separate from the background.
I used an ISO of 200 for these shots, an f.stop of f.11 and a shutter speed of 1/125.
