Hey guys

I'm still looking for good background lights.

Please note I am looking for continous lights "new" not the flash ones. By flash I understand that they are not continous.

Please help.

If you're doing continuous, you canuse any old light with daylight corrected CFLs

You would be better off with flash.. but if you insist, check out the Interfit CF spyder clones...... put out a lot of light, and very adjustable

Another thing to be careful of is light boucing off your background, like the shot above with the gentleman with the silly hat notice his right shoulder

I think this is extremely important based on my very limited experience. I tried to do a 3 light shot yesterday with a speedlight on the backdrop to make it white and my model was so close to the backdrop that she was overexposed nearly every time. I think it's because of my limited space and the light reflecting off of the backdrop. Hard to work in a confined space.

 

[jwbryson1]

On the background itself, I just use bare speedlights or monos with aluminum bowl reflectors, setup just far enough away for the spread to cover the background.

Charlie, are you saying that you shoot the speedlight away from the backdrop and directly into an aluminum bowl to reflect on the backdrop? This sounds like a good idea.

How much space is there between your model and the backdrop?
