One of the 1st things I learnt but over at zarias but this is another welcome addition. Is it true that to get the right exposure the background and back of subject should be 1 stop apart... Cool.

I'm intrigued about your comment on lighting the model only to create a black background from a white cyc. I work with a portable Colorama paper system, not as professional but intrisically the same idea. I have light grey and a blacks rolls and interchange them for different levels of background tone. From what you say, as long as I keep my lighting specific and focussed on the model, the background will be black even with the light grey Colorama background assuming the model is far enough forward to facilitate that. Wow! Eureka! The things you learn from a blog! Am I reading this right? Hi Melissa

If you google photography cyclorama you'll get better results. It's normally referred to as a "cyc". Pronounced "sike". Or "psych". I am not sure if it's a brand name or not. It's not the material that determines what a cyc is, it's the rounded shape that gives an infinity look to what or who you're shooting on it. I am sure there are pictures of it somewhere on the internet. And I will definitely be doing more tutorials in the future and you'll see me shoot on a cyc. Just stay tuned!!! Thanks for the comments, both of them. Hey Mike! If you google photography cyclorama you’ll get better results. It’s normally referred to as a “cyc”. Pronounced “sike”. Or “psych”.

I was trying to determine if it was a specific material that reacts to light differently depending on the source and strength of the light.
