Thank you to James, one of our regular customers for sharing this with you all:
Love 'em or hate 'em, the high key white background is a fantastic tool, whether you're shooting family portraits, editoral, glamour or commercial... but it's also a great starting point for many to get to grips with in the photo studio.
However, you can often find little grey patches where the background or floor is underexposed slightly. This is simple to correct in Photoshop or your editing package of choice, and this video tutorial sent to us by James shows not only how to acheive this, but also how to take things on to the next level... so even if you're not a fan of the white background, you can really easily create something that really pops out of the screen.
These are the same tricks that we use in the studio and in Photoshop for many of our shots, so we know they work. Try them for yourself and be sure to let us know how you get on or if you'd like us to feature more from this series of video tutorials from Zarias.com an Atlanta based editorial photographer.
