Lastolite Hilite Background 1.8 x 2.15m

The Lastolite HiLite Background 1.8 × 2.15m is a unique illuminated, collapsible backdrop designed for high-key photography, providing evenly lit white backgrounds without shadows or complex lighting setups.

The Lastolite HiLite Background 1.8 × 2.15m is an innovative lighting solution that redefines how photographers achieve high-key images. Unlike traditional backdrops, this system allows you to place light sources directly inside the background through zippered side openings, ensuring perfectly even illumination across the entire surface. This eliminates the need for separate background lighting and prevents unwanted shadows or light spill, even when the subject is positioned close to the backdrop.

Constructed from durable white fabric, the HiLite acts not only as a background but also as a large rear softbox, capable of contributing to subject lighting as well. This dual functionality simplifies lighting setups, often requiring just a single additional front light to complete the scene. Its free-standing design allows for easy placement without additional support, while also offering compatibility with background support systems for more permanent setups.

The collapsible frame enables quick setup and folds down to approximately one-third of its full size for convenient transport and storage in the included carry case. Ideal for portrait, commercial, and studio photography, the HiLite Background provides a fast, efficient way to achieve clean, professional white backgrounds with minimal effort.
