James Eldridge June 16, 2016

A very quick and easy method to correct off white backdrops using Lightroom. ( PURE WHITE BACKGROUND )

I've always struggled to get perfectly lit backdrops whenever I shoot head shots or modelling profiles. There is always parts of the backdrop where the light drops off or is uneven, sometimes shadows are cast across it.

I make a point that when I go out walking that I leave my phone in my pocket and I pay attention to the world around me.

I remember back in the 90's, (which feels like a long time ago now) that nearly every breakfast cereal box, kids magazine etc, had a dodgy red and green 3D image on it, along with the cheap and nasty cardboard glasses you had to use along with them.
