Unfortunately, photographic film is not a very efficient light

detector. Only about 2% of the light striking photographic film is

able to trigger the chemical reaction needed to produce an image.

Thus, roughly 98% of the light falling onto photographic film is

wasted.

What is back drop?

Backdrops can either be blank or they can have an image on them to make it look as if you are actually at a location, when in fact you are in a studio. If you have never seen a backdrop, take a walk through any large shopping mall. There are usually photographic stalls where mothers can take their children to have portraits taken. The backdrop is usually clean and white to stop shadows from falling onto faces.
