High is a photo without the dark colors. You can do that in camera (I read somewhere about two f-stops difference) but it's easier and with more control done digital using the curves. Just pull it up and play.

Doing it easier in PS is a personal opinion.
It has to do with light, exposure and development of the negative which of course makes the printing of image easier in the darkroom.
Check out some Lighting Photo books that should be able to go into detail about how to create this situation and then it will be repeatable rather than luck.

While I agree that PS can produce some dramatic high key images, high key photography is actually an art in and of itself. If done on location (as opposed to digitally), it requires special lighting, exposure techniques and composition to make it effective. I would say that having a basic understanding of how to produce high key images without the use of digital manipulation would provide you with a much stronger background in learning about light and exposure control as well as composition. Playing in photoshop is fun, and I am no film purist, but it is sort of like learning to walk before running. Having the basics on how to control camera function to achieve the results you are looking for is critical to producing quality images.
