The Lastolite HiLite Illuminated White Background is a unique way to achieve hi key photographs. This inventive system, allows the photographer to minimize lighting scenarios while achieving spectacular results.
The HiLite Background is different in that it permits you to place your strobe head INSIDE the background, completely directing the light to the background and filling it with white light. No more worrying about 'spill' or having to test to see if the background light is positioned correctly since the background will be evenly lit. Furthermore, because the background is actually illuminated it means the subject can stand virtually right in front of it without casting a shadow.
This system also works as a rear softbox and can illuminate your subject as well. This means you can simply use use one other light in the front and you're ready to shoot.

Comments about Lastolite HiLite Illuminated White Background (4.6 x 3.6'):
I use this for on-location portraits of babies, children, head shots and corprate head shots. It illuminates easily with just one SB-900 speedlight. The biggest advantage is the space savings. I don't need a lot of room between the subject and the background. No shadows. I use the high key portraits a lot for digital backgrounds but still have the original high-key image as an option for the client. This also works well used as a soft box instead of a background. I highly recommend it.
