Background Blow out full length Fashion

[l_cropper]

<p>Hello,<br>

Having a bit of a nightmare with this set up attached.<br>

I can achieved good even background if cropped like the attached, but the client wants them full length.<br>

Problem is that I get a slight dark area each side of the girls on the ground, where I am bouncing my 2 lights into polly boards back into the background. So the dark area is a slight spill.<br>

Any other ways to do this? Was thinking of big umbrella on a boom to take the background out evenly and get the girls away from it as much as i can. Quite big studio. I did know how to do this once with how im doing it now, but completely forgot. I know i can photoshop to bring whites out, but i want to get it right before it gets to PS.<br>

Also, from the ref, is there a hair light on these girls...its hard to tell...</p>

<p>thanks!</p><div></div>

<p>The best seamless white tutorial I've found is by Atlanta photographer Zach Arias.<br>

There are 5 parts, and they're all excellent. </p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>Get a bigger hammer. You need more than two lights to light the background full height. No way around it. Good luck.</p>
