Natural light portrait with white background

Shooting natural light using the main light source as a background. I let the light spill on the subject a bit so it looks like it is enveloping her. Spot meter on mid-tones.

Try it!

What is the cheapest way to create different background colors in portrait photography? Hi, i am beginner in portrait photography and i have seen a lot of different styles of photography backgrounds but i would like to have a very plain background with different colors.

Buy a set of coloured gels and use them on the light you use to light the backround, a nuetral coloured backdrop (white/light grey) is best for this.
