Lastolite Hilite Backdrop - What Great Invention

When I see something great I like to share it here with my readers.

I read about this to day and it just looks like a great backdrop idea! I'd never seen anything like this before... Learn about it there and watch the videos to see it in action: http://www.lastolite.com/hilite-backgrounds.php

The website says:

"The HiLite backgrounds range allows the photographer to work in a way that was extremely difficult to achieve in the past, ‘High Key’ photography on location and in restrictive spaces. By rear lighting the white background itself there is no longer a need to use a background light behind the subject. Furthermore, because the background is actually illuminated it means the subject can stand virtually right in front of it without casting a shadow. The HiLite backgrounds also works as a large rear softbox and illuminates the subject as well, meaning you can use just one other flash head to light the subject from the front. What’s more, the whole thing is collapsible."

Too bad it's $473.95 (through B&H) or I would order it!
