Lighting a white background
by Matthew Delaney on Nov 3, 2009 at 8:43:14 pm

Hi there,

I have a shoot coming up for a client that requires we shoot them against a white background while sitting on a loveseat. The shots will be 3/4 and head-toe and we'll be seeing the floor as well.

I've never lit for this before and am looking for any suggestions.

I believe we're going to use white photo background paper 9'wide and we have a couple of chimeras and 250W arri lights to light the subject.

What would be best to light the bg in a limited space? I was thinking of renting 2x 4'-4bank Kinos with Tungsten bulbs?

I'm shooting on a Sony Z1U

Many thanks.

Matt
