This has really de-mystified the secrets of a light meters!

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.

very useful introduction to the use of lighting meters. i cannot wait to use it in real life situation. will give you more feedback.

were can i buy a light meter if you dont mind.can you help me?

I’m a new photographer, self teaching myself and this tutorial was great. Thanks for sharing the knowledge. I will be testing your tips with a model this weekend.

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…)
