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 positioned directly behind the subject. Additionally, there is no need for complicated lighting of the background to achieve a brilliant white. Furthermore, the subject can be placed 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 a must-have in any studio.
