I've got my final photography project coming up at school. Unfortunatly, I dont have the technical know how to make my idea work, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
I want a completely whited out background (with no texture) for my shots. I was thinking of using large white bed sheets for this, would it work?
The project will include a mixture of still lifes and portraits. If I can white out the background (by placing the model a distance from it with directional lighting etc) how would I ensure the white surface which I place still life objects on remains whited out too? With the objects itself remaining well exposed.
Will I be able to create the effect I want with the equipment I have?
Canon EOS 30
Tamron lens - stops down to 3.5
Tripod
Off camera flash
Small reflector
Unfortunatly I dont have a lightmeter other than the one in the camera (which does seem acurate)
Sorry if the description is vague but i'm strugling to find a better way of explaining what I want.
Just imagine an object with everthing around it whited out.
I will be able to manipulate the images in a darkroom.
Please keep any technical descriptions VERY simple please - I really dont have a clue when it comes to light readings etc.
Thanks in advance
