This simple set up background allows the photographer to work in a way that was extremely difficult in the past; "High Key" photography on location ot in restrictive spaces.
There is no longer a need to use a background light behind the subject, just light the background from the sides. As the background is illuminated, your working depth is reduced allowing your subject to stand close to the background.
Use the HiLite any way you like! It can be rotated and used on its short or long edge and is also free standing; no need for background supports! The 8' x 7' HiLite can also be used as a large softbox and just to finish off, the whole thing is collapsible!
