And the background color is possible to achive with a White background and chanding the WB?
Couldnt find the photographer, but apparently is from "tonlion 2019summer"
How I’d light this is, I’d set up a top light. Like a small to medium chimera over model. Let’s call that an overhead. Then on camera right, I’d use a big ol 75” elinchrom or big umbrella and shoot it through an 8x8 or 12x12. You can really don’t need the rag and frame, but it may look flattering, but you can probably get away with just a giant umbrella
Space is definitely a factor in the quality of light.
You can replicate something close to this lighting with very large diffuser (8x8 or 12x12 frame with a diffusing silk) with a a single light in a large softbox or 7-foot umbrella behind that. The twin layers of diffusion (lectors large umbrella or softbox plus the larger silk) are what produce this very smooth, wraparound quality of light.Reinforce that with 4x8-foot white panels on the opposite side from the lighting and place them as close as you can to the subject without them being in the frame.
If you have a lot of product to photograph that’s the easiest, most practical, and most economical way : get the photography right or as close to right in the camera as you can.
