A fun remote shoot at a Pet hotel, with Santa ... this is an out-of-camera image, not yet processed.

Too cute!

That's great Kenny! Love the expression on the dog. Santa's khaki's are showing LOL. I just ordered my lights and other equipment and I got superior arctic white seamless paper per your previous recommendation, I hope I can learn how to get something even half this good. How many lights are you using?

I use three lights for white backdrops [lighting the backdrop, in this case from behind! so that I can shoot white animals on white paper.) For most colored papers, and certainly for black paper, I'll shoot two or three, usually two.

You put the light *behind* the backdrop? (something I never thought of)

I have never heard of that either. Great idea. How strong is your the light behind the backdrop? I can't wait to try this.
