Okey, i’ve set up my belvedere hotel and it’s behind my backdrop and there is a bad shadow behind the rooms sign. Does anyone know how to get rid of the shadow???
How about turning out the light ?
Sorry, I couldn’t resist !
It’s very little information you give us - do you have a picture ?
An obvious solution would be to rearrange your lighting. Perhaps a second light at an angle to eliminate the shadow.
Another would be to change the backdrop behind the sign. Place part of a building cutout behind the sign so that the shadow falls on this. It’s OK if a shadow falls on another building; it’s not OK if the shadow falls on blue sky or clouds.
Hope this helps,

Jim has some great ideas there . I might add I have used trees with flat backs right up against the backdrop in some of these situations.

I agree with Mike about trees…and use dark pine or oak trees to “hide” shadows if lighting adjustments prove fruitless…unless it’s early Spring.
