How to Photograph a White Object on a White Background
HOW TO Wiki List

Tags: photography, tips, white, help, contrast

Some tips:

1. Use a textile background that makes a few soft “natural waves”
2. Use one little colored piece in your white composition as a reference
3. Use lights from all sides to avoid big dark shadows
4. Use fill flash (better with diffuser on it) to naturally brighten up the scene and reveal the details
5. Use custom white balance to ensure real white
6. Only use matrix light metering
7. Do not overexpose the picture in the attempt of getting pure white
8. Use manual focus if the auto does not find the desired focus point
9. Do not completely remove the shadows - let the shapes be visible
10. Use a software to remove dark corners that may form

I want to strongly stress #7. Overexposing looks really good sometimes but not for white on white!!!!
