This 4'6" x 3'6" version of the Lastolite HiLite background is the smallest in the range and ideal for small product and still-life photography. As with the rest of this range, this HiLite background enables you to undertake High Key photography on location and in restricted spaces. The background itself is white and can be rear-lit, thus negating the need to use a background light behind the subject. As the background is illuminated, the subject can stand in front of it without casting a shadow. The Lastolite HiLite backgrounds also work as large rear softboxes, illuminating the subject and meaning you can use just one other flash head to light the subject from the front.   More

Lastolite HiLite Background Review

Lastolite HiLite Background Review

4 Nov 2010 - Since its introduction some years ago, the Lastolite HiLite background has been increasingly popular with portrait photographers. Sadly, I still get a lot of correspondence about the HiLite background from photographers who struggle to achieve the look that they expected. That’s why I’m putting pen to paper, not in the form of a review as such, but just to reassure you that using the HiLite need not be a struggle.
How to get the most out of your HiLite...

The video below shows how to set up the Lastolite HiLite background

        Was looking for a smaller version of the one I use at home for my travels, and this fits the bill nicely.
        Yet another Lastolite product that makes getting that little something extra out of your photography easier for all.

          Comments about Lastolite HiLite Background 4ft 6in x 3ft 6in:

          I have used this a few times now in place of the 6x7 Hilite which I found to be too big to take to a client's house. I light this with a single Canon 430 flash and get a good even background.

          It is big enough for 3/4 shots or head and shoulders of a couple. I have shot a group of up to 5 people with the background in landscape.

          Much better for a portable solution than the bigger sizes in my opinion.

          Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

            Does what it says and more, it useful for portraits, as the light wraps round the subject so well.
