In a recent post, I referred to studio photography with a white background and bright lights as being ‘high-key’ and got quite a bit of flack about it.  While calling this style ‘high-key’ may be a deviation from the original definition, it’s a heck of a lot easier than always calling it ‘photography with a white background and bright lights’. Recently, I read a blog from a photographer who calls it ‘white seamless’ due to the large roll of white seamless paper (or in my case, vinyl) which you use as the background. So here I am, calling it ‘white seamless’. There’s more than one way to skin a cat and many ways to produce the white seamless look. I don’t know much about those other methods and I learned my own by trial and error. Set-up I set up the studio thus (my full kit list is in my last post ): Background – white roll of seamless vinyl on a heavy duty stand There are two lights pointing at the background – 400 wt on half power with a high performance reflector attached. Lights are aimed around 45* towards the background.
