EOS_JD said:One strobe really isn't enough to light the 6x7. To get it white with one strobe you need to throw a lot of light into it which is likely to be too much. Better to light the background evenly with 2 strobes (I used two Elinchrom strobes (400BX) to light the 6x7 highlight in the above images.
It's easy making the background white.What makes it complicated is when you introduce your subject into the equation and you get spill and flare coming back.
Yeah that'll more than likely be the case for most shots but I did a head shot quite high up in the highlight with the light relatively low in the highlight on full power, no flare at all.
Get the subject (ie head and shoulders) anywhere near the same level as the light and it'll require two strobes.
Still an impressive bit of kit.
