The HiKey Illuminated Background from Angler is a 6 x 7' free-standing background that can be internally illuminated using strobe or LED light sources, allowing photographers to take photos with the light behind their subject. It acts like a giant 6 x 7' softbox, making it simple to shoot high-key photos of portraits, products, and fashion.

Illuminated Background
The HiKey Illuminated Background lights a subject from behind like a large softbox. Easily eliminate extra shadows on the background and produce HiKey images for portraits, products, and style.
Free Standing Design
A sturdy, integrated metal frame and four frame supports allow the Illuminated Background to freely stand on its own. So, no matter where it is set up, you can have background lighting behind your subject.
Flexible Frame
A flexible frame allows the background to collapse down to one third its size. This allows the background to be easily transported from one location to another or stored in the included carrying case.
Side Lighting
Large, zippered openings on each side of the Illuminated Background make it easy to insert strobe and LED monolights, with reflectors, into the background maximizing the light output with an even spread from each side. The 19" deep background has ample room to accommodate a variety of light units.
Touch Fastener Background Attachment
A touch-fastener strip around the edge enables attaching backgrounds or colored fabrics to alter the lights color. Change a photo's mood without having to carry spools of paper.

Angler Illuminated Background Reviews

Factually Impossible to Collapse Once It's Opened

By James

The idea is sound, but you will never, ever, under any circumstances get this thing folded up and back into the bag. Ever! I watched several videos and did exactly what the demonstrators did, no luck. Totally embarrassed trying to fold this up in front of some clients lol, so I had to half fold it and cram it into the car. Junk!

Fantastic

Sets up fast, lightweight and easy to move around. Produces beautiful faux window light.

Asked by: Luis
A 4' x 6' x 34" background with similar diffusion material and light source would produce a greater lux value than the Angler HiKey Illuminated Background (6 x 7').

Train floor

Train floor
Asked by: Jay
The Angler HiKey Illuminated Background (6 x 7') (B&H# ANIB20067), like similar products from other manufacturers, does not have a train (i.e., floor) section. However, a long and thin muslin cloth background could be used for that such as the Impact Muslin Background (White, 10 x 24') (B&H# IMBGW102) draped over the Angler HiKey Illuminated background and running along the floor toward the camera.

The back of the Angler HiKey Illuminated Background (6 x 7') is black and not illuminated. You would need to place 2 monolights on either side for it to be illuminated or lit.

Does it have velcro sewn around the bottom, so that a train floor can be attached?
Asked by: Robert
The Angler HiKey Illuminated Background (6 x 7'), does have a velcro trim around the edges of the white portion. In theory, one could extend a floor to the bottom of the face of the background.
