Did you know your monitor or iPad screen can double as a high-CRI soft light panel?

Key Creative Uses - **Webcam Soft Light**: When on Zoom or video calls, open a [Solid White Background](/white) on your secondary monitor to illuminate your face with soft, even light. - **Product Photography**: Place small jewelry, electronics, or collectibles directly on an iPad running a [White Screen](/white-screen) for high-key macro photography. - **Camera White Balance**: Point your camera lens at a fullscreen white screen to set custom white balance reference.
