The starting point is lighting and scene. I shoot against a well lit white or light colored background. The positioning of the subject relative to the background defines the white space in the image, and is part of the high key style. You must avoid harsh shadows, so can use multiple light sources or a very diffuse sun (if outdoors).
The aim is to light all parts of the image evenly without blowing the highlights and to have a white or light background.
In this image above I shot as part of my horror project I used a white background and a white face (my sister covered in talc). I had all the windows and skylight uncovered so the room was really bright. I also had some lights lighting from each side. This could have ben better as my body leaning over cast a shadow and seeing as my sister had only 20 seconds as she could not breathe I had no time to re do the shot.
