You know you dont need photoshop to make it look like that.

The key is doing it all in camera.

First, I like converting to black and white via channel mixer because it gives me so much more options.
Second, I could only get such a high key contrasty look if I was using a special type of film on a film camera.
Third, in camera contrast isn't enough for what I was looking for. If you know how to make very contrasted b/w images, please tell me!

1. Yes, converting images to black and white should be done in Photoshop.
2. You can get high key contrast without using film and a film camera. It's all about lighting and what your ISO, shutter speed and aperture is.
3. In camera contrast all depends on your lighting.

If you want to learn how to do it well, please go to school for photography.

Hmmm you don't have to be so rude o__o
I'm still in high school, so I won't be able to go to photography school for a while.
2. High key look would involve super outblown highlights actually, and my shutter speed and everything was everything I needed it to be. Also, working with studio strobes makes it difficult to shoot at a lower aperture.
3. In camera contrast can depend on lighting, but I'd really like to see you try to make the same result as I did without photoshop.
Point is, I'm not skilled enough yet to do this all with lighting, so I'll do it in photoshop.
What's the big deal?

Just saying...not being rude. You just don't need photoshop to make a photograph amazing.
