This weekend I came across this awesome tutorial on how to set up and shoot against a white seamless background. If you desire to learn how to shoot trendy shots on all white I can't recommend this tutorial enough!

That got me excited, except, I don't have any White Seamless paper, so I used some bed sheets, and my daughter happily volunteered to be the model, not to mention the dog insisted in being part of the shoot. Note: I didn't expect to get the same results with sheets, however, I got close enough that it didn't take much effort to select the surrounding whitish sheets and then fill with pure white. Notice the white hanging behind her is almost blown out without detail, that is what you want. A seamless white environment. I need to work on the lighting for the floor as well. Work in progress.
Here is a shot I took later using the same technique, however, very little effort was required to fill with white as there was only white sheet behind the head shot.

My goal is create an image with all white background requiring almost no touch up to the background.
For those who scrapbook a lot, a set up like this makes for ideal images you can easily drop into any background.
