The HiLite background creates a perfect high key photography backdrop. Achieve the popular 'pure white' background without loads of extra lights - and studio space. As the subject can be positioned right in front without casting a shadow, it's perfect for portraits in tight spaces. And, because it's effectively a big light box, rear illumination 'wraps around' the subject, so you just need a single softbox in front. The HiLite is easy to erect, and self-supporting, with the side tensioning arms built in to the structure, so they won't get lost. It collapses in standard Lastolite reflector style into an easily portable bag. An optional wipe-clean vinyl train can be fixed to the base for full length shots.
