I am going to be shooting clothing on a mannequin with a white paper background. Does anyone have any suggestions as to lighting? Two 45s, a high 45 with a fill??? I shoot with 3 white lightning monolights and bounce umbrellas. Thanks, Nick

You didn't say how you actually wanted it to look.

You could go for a white background by putting two umbrellas on the background (one on each side) and one on the mannequin. Be sure to give at least 4 feet between the background and the mannequin, keep the background lights behind the plane of the mannequin (closer to the background than the mannequin is), don't give the background any more exposure than it barely takes to reproduce as white, and put up some gobos between the umbrellas and the camera to keep the flare from reaching the lens.
