Photography Question 

Megan McKenzie
 

shadows on my backdrop and dark background


I have tried your suggestions with my lighting and I am getting a bit better lit background but horrible shadows and they are impossible to get rid of with photo shop. Do I need another backlight or does anyone have any more suggestions. I have tried moving my backlight in many different spots even right behind my subject and still I get shadows. HELP. I really appreciate all the help I have gotten from you all so far. Please see my pictures to get an idea of the trouble I am having.

  Megan, try moving your subject away from your backdrop. This is something I still have to try to remember, it will make a huge difference. I've heard different recommendations, but try to get at least 5' between your backdrop and your subject.
