Backdrops

[maximust]

Morning TP,

I am wanting to shoot a few portrait shots and havnt got a studio setup but am happy using my wireless flash etc and lighting up the room that way until I get my setup sorted.

In the mean time what do most amateurs use for a backdrop.

are there any good digital ones? and any tutorials for it?

Thank you for the help

Max

I used (well..use) some felt from a haberdashery, it works really well and isn't too reflective for use with flashguns, very impressed and only a few quid

Hello mate.

I use this one from Karlu http://www.karlu.com/large-heavy-qu...round-with-long-train-18m-21m-23m-p-9759.html

I paid a bit less as it was last years model but so far I've been pretty impressed.

Reversible white/black and comes with matching trains (which I haven't used yet).

You'll need a sturdy stand to support it but it seems up to the job.

I looked at the Hilite but went for this as the cheaper option for now.

Spring clamp your favorite textile to the curtain rod or as required with how/where you're shooting

I have used an on quilt cover, which is cream, but close to white. cut it down the open and and down the sides to give a long length, it was a double cover.

I also use a brown fleece banket, which gives a good effect.

I now have a pop up background, which has black and white sides, got it used on here.

I have also used a roller blind, on both the coloured and the white sides.
