This patented background system from Lastolite allows photographers to work in a way that was extremely difficult in the past. High key photography "on location" or in tight spaces is easily achievable with the HiLite system. With this background system, you no longer need a light source directly behind the subject. Additionally, there is no need for elaborate lighting of the background to achieve a radiant white. Furthermore, the subject can be positioned very close to the background without creating distracting shadows. The HiLite background can also be used as a large light wall to create naturally soft lighting. Due to its ingenious folding mechanism, it is ideal for transport. This patented HiLite background is an essential addition to any studio.
