Manfrotto HiLite Photo Background

Manfrotto HiLite Background Large, 1.5 x 2.15 m. During recent years the popularity of high key portrait photography has increased significantly. By using simple white backgrounds, informal posing arrangements and unusual camera angles, photographers have created a more contemporary look that meets the requirements of many of today’s customers. However, many photographers have found it difficult to achieve this effect when working on location or in a restricted space, as the white background needs to be lit separately from the subject. The HiLite illuminated background offers the solution that photographers have been waiting for. This unique background is effectively backlit allowing the subject to stand as close as 40 cm to the background without casting a shadow! Furthermore this collapsible background can be set up in a matter of minutes and is self supporting, making it ideal for location work. HiLite Background comes in several sizes.

• Ideal for ''High Key'' photography
• Background that can also be used as a very large softbox
• Tempting, needs no support
• Can be rotated and used on its short or long edge

Disclosure of motives

In order to "whiten" a background nicely and evenly, several light sources and a large studio space are usually required so that the background lighting can be placed so that the light spreads evenly over the entire background, without hitting the subject. The Manfrotto HiLite drastically simplifies this type of photography. Even on a small surface and with few light sources, it is possible to get an even, white background with the subject placed close to the background.

Unique construction

Manfrotto HiLite has a unique design and can be compared to a large light box. The background is vivacious, i.e. it can be placed freely onå the floor without a stand. As a light source, a studio flash is used, which is placed so that it shines into the short side of the HiLite and shines out the entire front screen. The location of the flash, next to the HiLite, means that the floor space required is very small.  When the background is not in use, it can be folded completely flat and becomes då only a third of its size.

Perfect in all environments

Thanks to the fact that HiLite can stand by itself without an extra stand, and that the lighting is placed to the side of the background, itself the setup takes up very little space. The subject can be placed very close because the lighting takes place from within the HiLite and is spread very evenly over the large surface.

Both background and softbox

The flexible construction means that HiLite can also be used as a large softbox (similar to window light). A big advantage is the narrow design of the HiLite, which means that äeven små studios can get access to bde real  large softbox and completely white background.

Supplied in case

When the HiLite is not in use, it folds completely flat and down to only a third of its full surface. Since  it is stored and transported in the included case.

Accessories

As accessories there are complementary vinyl slips and several variants of background fabrics with slips, so-called Bottle Tops, which uses the Hi-Lite as a background stand and explores the field of use.
