Hi all, shooting Ecomm fashion for some clients, mostly god results but with certain colors, I see some glare. This is obviously a result of overexposing the background (as you do).
I understand that I need to over expose the background relative to model exposure, to avoid unwanted glare from background, by simply cranking the back lighting.
I place model as far from background as possible also.
Doing these things but the glare creeps back in and it’s pretty stressful.
Can be seen with black or navy garments.
Set up: two model lights and two back lights.
Back lights are bare bulb strobes with umbrellas.
I use a poly board on one side and neg the other.
My question is, does anyone have any tips generally?
And I was considering getting a couple of strip boxes and back lights which would control the light more and perhaps reduce glare.
My solution thus far has been to reduce backlight to grey and cut out, which is a crap solution.
Any help or positive contribution is greatly appreciated,
Dave
