OnSet with Daniel Norton: How to create and light a perfectly white background

 

 

When working with clients, photographer Daniel Norton is frequently asked to create an image with a clean, crisp white background. In the latest episode of OnSet, Norton shows us how to set up this shot, including how to light an image with a white background.
