Morning all,

I am looking at a unit later this afternoon and considering the option of building an infinity wall,

what are your thoughts on them? would you have one?

Thanks
 
It really depends on what you mean by infinity wall - if you are talking about just the transition at floor level having a fixed curve, then fine, but add an overhead background roller system as well. If a full cove, then see bellow

Been using a large cove (full width, with curved transitions at floor/ceiling/right hand corner) for the last 6 weeks or so and a few thoughts are:

-Very nice, but a bit of a one trick pony, unless you have very good lighting - easy to get everything white, but more problematical if you want other effects or colour changes.
-Needs an overhead track system (if full width) for lighting behind subject.
-PITA to keep clean, but that is based on the one I’m using which see’s lots of traffic.
-if you only have one 'shooting wall' it's a waste of space IMO.
-if you only have a cove and nothing else it will stifle creativity.

As for building one, full cove (floor to ceiling & edges) the transition in the corners is the only problematical areas as far as I can see. For just an infinity wall seems simple enough (floor & ceiling transitions only).

So, if I had several (largish) shooting areas, I’d have one, if I didn’t, I probably wouldn’t bother – or if I did, I’d still have to find some way of adding a background paper system to go ‘over’ it as well.
