Very nice tutorial......

Not that it really matters, but the image that you call "not really high key" - the lady with her foot on the chair - is properly called hot white. This term resulted in the 1960's and 1970's with the popularity of white seamless background paper and a term was needed to differentiate "high key" from a normal key image with a white background.
