How to Create Perfect White Background Products Photography ( Blender Lighting 101 Series )

In this Blender tutorial, I will show you how to create perfect white background products photography in Blender. Many of you are focusing on modeling and material creation but don't have a decent knowledge of lighting. Create perfect white background products photography images for your clients is a typical job that I have to do, and these perfect white background images need a lot of works done inside of Photoshop.
However, if you are setting up a 3D scene or a photography setup, you don't need to have a lot of hassle in the post-processing in order to get the result! Light your scene like a photographer, understanding the lights as a professional photographer.
This is an ongoing studio lighting video series, which means improving your understanding of using studio lights in Blender or even in a real photoshoot.

    BTW, you can use the roughness setting (the ground material) to control the blurriness of the reflections, try that on your own!

    Your approach as a photographer I'm finding to be the most helpful in explaining not only how to set up and light a scene but also the why which is even more important. I'm a graphic designer early in my Blender journey who loves photography but never learned much about studio lighting. Thanks a ton!

    Lots of valuable information. I think it's worth mentioning that using Filmic won't give you perfect white no matter what you do. It may appear white, but the color picker will tell you the truth :) So sometimes it's easier to render transparent and later add background in Photoshop or Affinity.

Of course, I didn't need the reflection of my model on the stage floor, and I moved the screen below the models away from the model, and the reflection was fixed😄😄😄thank you sooooo much,

    It’s a great lesson. Thanks. I have got a question, tho. Why does my plane looks not red, but orange in False Color regime (obviously it means the surface was not overexposed ) when I make an emission material with the strength 2,5 like u did? To make it red I have to make emission strength at least 4. And when i do this, it reflects on the floor but doesn’t make it red. And I can see slightly the difference in color between the wall and the floor. I have to make the wall emission strength around 11 to make the floor reflection red. But at that time the model becomes too bright. What do I do wrong? Thank you

    all depends on the complexity of your products, having additional option to create images is always better. You can always as others to do the modelling if you are doing production work
