Create cookies (Cucoloris), where you cut shapes out of the Westfoam, then shine your lights through the shapes at the subject to create interesting light patterns as a background for your subject, or just use an A1 sheet as the main background for your subject. Westfoam can also be used as a fill light source, which will reflect the light source back on the scene, in return filling in any excess shadows on the subject while not having to adjust the contrast.
