Perfect lighting for a white background
Loading...
Uploaded by PhotoGavin on Mar 1, 2011
A white background will photograph grey unless you light it. So in this video I demonstrate the problem and my lighting solution, using three studio lights.
I must thank Hasselblad UK for the loan of the studio and the H4D camera that I used in this video.

@xvoui It will usually be "white with detail", as opposed to 255,255,255 "digital white", and it's pretty easy to make it pure white in post if you want. If you made it a featureless digital white, as you are usually trying to make the background, you will get excessive bottom-up lighting on your subject, and you won't be able to properly block the light off of your subject's feet and lower legs.

@SincerelyAND It looks a lot like 2-inch (5cm) rigid styrofoam insulation board -- it's super lightweight and dirt cheap, and you can find it in almost any photo studio (and at builders' supply outlets).

What type of boards are those on the side?

When the model is doing squat, obviously the key light is too high.
