I have had the pleasure to work with a bunch of realtors over the years while doing my photography. One thing I find that seems to hold true for most is that they like their photos on plain white backgrounds. I always suggest this for them as well, since it allows them to easily remove the background should they need to drop their image as an overlay onto a listing or other material. The key thing when shooting on white, is to ensure that your wrap is not too harsh. Many people think that it is easy to shoot on white, but in actuality, it can pose a few challenges. If you blast too much light on your background to make it white, and the subject is too close to it, then the wrap (that is the light comming off the cyclic and wrapping around the person) is so strong that it can blow out the details in the hair and near the edges of the subject. The other thing is making sure that the background is not left underlit, and therby going to an off white, or grey tone which can make the subject harder to separate from the background in the future. So here is a portrait I made for Nadeem last week just befor I headed out to Ontario for the Easter weekend.
