White vinyl Backgrounds

[Jellyhead188]

Hi Guys

i'm new here, I have just started a photography portrait business and currently use a curtain with lights flashing approx 1.5 m from the curtain, it gets a great background but my flooring is rubbish, I currently use a big bedsheet thing which is off white so get horrendous colouration (see my profile pic to see what I mean!). Am thinking of going for a white vinyl backdrop on a pole on my ceiling and using it for the backdrop and floor - does anyone have any pros/cons for this? I'm concerned about reflection/bounce from the flashes - I use a softbox flash for the main light and standard cheap flashes for the backlighting.

My website is www.emmaparkerphotography.co.uk if anyone is interested!

Thanks.

Emma

Hi Emma

I like the shots on your web. The background i use is about 18 foot long, so as well as the background it seconds as a floor. Not worked out how to get good pictures yet but maybe soon.

I must admit Im interested in the vinyl and hope someone can help soon

Hiya, Jusr wanted to say that I have looked at your photographs and they are beautiful. I too am looking at buying the vinyl background, i'm going to buy some this week as soon as another company has sent me a sample. I have one from colorama but i'm getting another sample so I can compare. After that i'll get back to you and let you know how its goes.

Hi Emma, you should get into nurseries... You will do really well.

Friend of mine does them 5 days aweek. Turning between a 1k to 2.5k a day.

He shoots 85 nurseries and takes the rest of the year off....

That sounds like a hell of a turnover, does your friend have a website, would love to see his work.
