The Manfrotto HiLite photo background makes it easy to shoot high-key images thanks to the ingenious construction that makes the background work like a giant light box. Instead of lighting the background traditionally, with light directed at the white background, the light source is placed next to the background and the light is directed into the HiLite. The result is a large, evenly lit surface that the subject can be placed close to thanks to the light coming from behind. In addition, HiLite works fantastically as a large softbox, window light.
Do you want to easily whiten the photo background? Do you shoot high-key? Do you want to create a stylish window light? Manfrotto HiLite is a fantastic photo background that can be easily illuminated to get an evenly lit photo background or create a fantastic window light. The clever design makes the HiLite easy to transport and requires minimal shooting space.
Packed in its case, the HiLite is super compact and flat. Assembly takes a few minutes and the construction is self-supporting, which means that HiLite can be placed anywhere there is a flat floor. During the shooting, the subject can be placed close to the background thanks to the fact that the surface is backlit. HiLite is the big light that also fits the small photo studio.
To create an all-white background in the traditional way, many light sources directed at the background are required. The model must not be too close to the background because the light from the background lighting needs to be a bit away to illuminate the entire background evenly.With HiLite, fewer light sources are required to white out the entire background and the model can stand as close as 40 cm from the background thanks to the illumination coming from within the HiLite.
Large softboxes, bouncers, provide nice light that can be compared to natural window light. The disadvantage of large softboxes is that they normally take up a lot of floor space and can be quite cumbersome to transport and set up. The Manfrotto HiLite works great as a window light and thanks to its shallow design, the HiLite fits even in tight spaces.
The Manfrotto HiLite is available in several sizes adapted for everything from half-portraits to family portraits. The HiLite also works great for product photography and is easy to use thanks to its large and even light.
