How to Photograph a White Object on a White Background
HOW TO 
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 |

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