Being a pro I have always used a flash meter all my photographic life. And yes you can tell a lot on what to do in the studio on how light falls. One thing I always do to get a white background is to wash out the background by going about one to a half stop over and expose for mid tones. But I do come from an old school of thought.

how about metering to get a fully white background rather than the whole fading to grey thing (yes I accept that more lights/reflectors etc are needed but stuggling to find out how to do that- you know just a quick basic initial set up…)
