Hi Will; I would make sure your background lights all light the white background with the same intensity. Also make sure you do not put too much light on your subject or the white background will go muddy . And make sure your background lighting is soft & non-directional …so you don’t get hotspots. I use two Photogenic Powerlight 600s with Umbrellas on my background and use a flash meter to make sure the illumination is even all across . I also feather the lighting so as not to make any hotspots. You also want to use either a parabolic reflector on your key light or a grid spot . I use either dependant on my subject. That way you keep extraneous light from falling on the background. When you have created your images, make sure you keep pure white throughout the background. One final tip… have your subjects dress in white or off white as well. Otherwise , the clothing will stand out instead of the people. Finally , in answer to your texture question, since you are going to use roll paper …do not look for texture. If you were using a white muslin as background material, you could drape it and then you would look for the folds & undulations to have form & texture. Good luck …

I’m planning to do some ‘high key’ portraits … with my digitalcamera….
with a white Savage paper background ….. and I’m sure that unless extraordinary measures are taken …. the background will appear as a wide expanse of (255,255,255) values …… . Is this the way to do it …..or
should I try to get some minimal amount of texture in my background.……..???
Any other tips for ‘high key’ portraits ???
