Taking photos of people or products against a clean white background is perhaps one of the most common studio photography techniques in use — and an essential skill for any studio photographer using off-camera flashes and lighting. That hasnt stopped the US Patent and Trademark Office from granting Amazon one of the most bizarre and seemingly needless patents weve heard of in a long time: a studio lighting setup that allows photographers to \achieve a desired effect of a substantially seamless background.\ Yes, Amazon now holds a patent for taking photos with a \near perfect\ white backdrop. The details of the patent itself are slightly more focused, calling out specific lighting placement and even the placement of a 21-inch raised platform nine feet from the backdrop for the subject to stand on. The patents diagrams show very specific numbers and placements of the light sources, but those details arent the point.
