I'm looking for suggestions to blow out the background when shooting down for clothing on the ground. I've tried putting the clothing on a plain white background that I typically use when shooting clothing on a mannequin, but I can't light the background more than the clothing when it's on the ground.
I'd like to be able to completely blow out the background and simplify any post-processing work. Some ideas that I've thought of are:
- Raising the clothing (difficult since it's irregular) and trying to light the background.
- Put the clothing on a translucent material and light from the back. (But what material that I can afford?)
- Buy a light box, but I'm not sure if that will help. Will a light box somehow let me illuminate the background more than the product?
What has worked for you (and not cost too much)?
