In the studio, you usually use a white background for what it was made for: as a background. Photographer Nathan Elson shows in this video that you can use the background as your main light source.

Nathan also shows how he edits the photo in Capture One and Photoshop.

An original approach to creating a beautiful large light source from behind. With a very successful result. I will definitely use this in practice sometime.
