I know ppl have a hard time shooting white on white if they don't light bg separately because the clothing gets blown out.

I know ppl have a hard time shooting white on white if they don't light bg separately because the clothing gets blown out. Nope. This one was a single strobe shot. I used an AB1600 with a 83 inch soft silver PLM with diffusion panel right behind me. The model was right up against the background paper so there was no falloff between the model and the drop. If you look at the catchlight you can see my shadow in the middle of it. If you want to see the technique demonstrated Joel Grimes has a video on it here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQEynlnc-Ik

When I got the big V1 PLM, it was bright silver but the diffusion panel made it into a stellar source. Its so easy to get smooth soft light when you can stand in front of it and still light the subject. Better than a ring light because the shadows are controllable. I had used it for group shots before where I stood mostly under it and used it to give a nice big field of soft light for the winners table of a dog show. After watching the Grimes video I decided to try it for this project. I needed to shoot several young ladies in costume in a short time frame. Its very simple beauty lighting, mostly shadowless on the drop. The ability to get a white drop with one light is an added bonus.
