Adapting studio

[donkeymusic]

Good Afternoon,

I have had my studio running for 6 months now as a part time venture and have reasonable success.

I have been shooting mainly low key and high key images. For the high key i am shooting against a roll of black paper and for the low key i am using a roll of white paper on top of multi panel boards to get a reflection.

I suppose what i am thinking of now is a way to vary my shoots, what i would like to do is work on wood/laminate flooring with patterned wallpaper to make the shoots look more homely.

I can wallpaper behind the rolls of black and white paper and can also lay down laminate this would however mean i have to remove the multi-panel boards so lose the reflection from my photos.

An option would be to remove the white paper and get a vinyl roll to replace both the multi-panels and the white paper, would the vinyl give any reflection?

With the black and white and laminate i can then offer three varied shoots, i just need to work out what is best for me to do?

Any advice would be great.

Thanks

You can get low key whilst still using a white backdrop.
