Take it outside and try with natural light! Like hard light with a few cool shadows looks awesome on clean white.

A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.
This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

If you are doing a white background then don't add anything. Either bring it into the real world or try to do it studio like
Gelled flash, make it any colour you want

Coloured flash or led light with shapes like a light strip or circle.
Take a big piece of cardboard, cut out some shape, then place it in the way of the background light before it enters the frame. It will cast the negative as blurry shadow. Think of it as an unfocused gobo. Examples: window with cross bars, tree leaves, etc
It’s crazy what you can get using just a plain stool
