This is the example image i have taken this few days. I'm using a stable tripod, low iso, small aperture, slow shutter to get the background over exposed.

why can't I get the full white background like the photo from the internet?

I had already place the light pointing at the back but still having black corners![][2]

    \$\begingroup\$ If you mean the darkened corner, you just need more even lighting. Looks pretty good. If there's a dark area, throw light on it. Or you can easily fix that in post. \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ I'm with the rest, what's the problem with that? The corner is easy to fix, the rest looks great. \$\endgroup\$

The short answer: You need more light on the background so that you can intentionally blow it out without blowing out the product. Then expose so that the background is on the verge of blowing out. In post-processing push the exposure for the highlights up until the background is pure white.

This has been covered many times here in the past:
