Shadow falling from skirt I am shooting product photography and am having an issue with skirts. They are a-line which have a bit of a bell shape. There is about a 3 inch band of shadow running along the bottom of the skirt. What light and where should I be aiming it to get rid of this? I feel like I have tried everything.

Kimberly, a picture would be worth a thousand words. Could you post an example please? Knowing your current set up would help as well.

you should also include the kind of lights you're using and power output, how far off the background your subjects are, what kind of reflectors/light modifiers you have and HOW you're currently aiming your lights. M/

A-lines look like typical skirts.(googled it, didn't know it) You not spreading the light wide enough? This shadow the actual edge of your light pattern, maybe? I don't see anything about the skirt itself that would cause a shadow.

Hi Kimberly, I would try a light panel on the floor with an additional light to illuminate the shadow area. You can make a 2' x 3' or 4' x 6' light panel yourself with some PVC and a sheet and you will need to position the light back a little from the panel to help spread the light keeping the light direction low towards to shadow line. You will need to experiment a bit with distance and light power but this should work. Carlton
