The Lastolite HiLite Background is a part of a new method of creating a "high-key" image by transforming the entire background into a massive light source. Side-zips accommodate one or two light sources to light up the background. This method side-steps the need to illuminate a background in order to prevent the subject from casting a shadow upon it. Therefore, the subject can stand directly in front of the HiLite without forming a shadow on its surface.
Furthermore, this collapsible HiLite backdrop was designed to be extremely portable, and it can be set up quickly for location shoots. It also doubles as a massive lightbox for soft and even lighting effects.
