Lighting pure white backdrop

[DannyDMR]

I have a few shoots coming up were i need the backdrop to be pure white. Highkey.

What is the best way to light it?

I have 2 smartflash 200 to use for the backdrop. the white seamless paper is 2.7 metres wide.

I have.

• 2 barn doors
• Umbrellas
• standard reflectors

If it umbrellas. I need to buy a couple new ones as mine are looking tatty.

What would be best for lighting a backdrop.

• shoot through
• bounce off with white
• bounce with silver

what would/do you use?

Not too sure but I guess bounce with silver

Use white reflective umbrellas.
White silver would create uneven lighting
White shoot through would create flare, plus unwanted light on the subject
