I am wanting to create a set with a fully dressed Christmas tree and I have a few question.

1. To use Christmas light or not to?

2. What would be a good backdrop for this scene? I am think red, white, soft gray.

3.Would it be proper on improper to pose people in front of tree?

I think white would be my choice for backdrop color and by all means pose people in front of the tree with lights on. Expose for ambient so the lights get a nice glow and just fill for the face. It would be a nice effect.

How do I expose for ambient? I ask because I will be using AB 400 to light the scene. Here alittle more about what I am doing. I will be shooting in front of a fireplace that will not be lit. Tree will be to the left or right and I will be shooting probably 30 session in a 12 hr time frame.
