need help setting up a home studio....

ive been noticing still shots where the background is completely white? how is this done?
any help is appreciated greatly

White background overexposed by a couple of stops.

white background, just like a white piece of computer paper or what?

Might be a bit small if you're shooting a person.

haha not a person, random items, a fork, food, different stuff like that

soft-light box.

you can make one or buy one, results are about the same.

troyer this is the way i do it...

I bought a 60cm photo cube ($60 from ebay) i bought 4 desk lamps with 100W globes, i set one on top of the cube, one behind the cube and 2 either side of the cube. I over expose the image slightly to get that floating background, and i have 3 backdrop colours, blue, white and black - i use different settings for each colour though because with black or blue no over exposing needs to be done!

Use your tripod for sure...and possible a cable release or timer??

Bobs ya uncle...floating white background!
