Backdrop supplier
Hi,
I'm new to the group. I'm just starting out (who isn't, right?) and I was wondering if anyone knows of some suppliers that have nice backdrops. I was checking out ebay and there are a few that I'm interested in, but I thought I would try here first. I'm looking for an old master type of look, (tried do one on my own, yuk)and I don't really want to spend the ridiculous amount that Denny's asks, but I don't want something that looks like it was spray painted either. Any suggestions? Photo Girl |

Any suggestions? Photo Girl I like the kits that Phototek makes. http://www.photekusa.com/ or, you can look through what B&H has. www.bhphoto.com/ choose "Lighting and Studio" from the left menu, choose "Background Materials & Equipment" under "Studio Equipment". There are a lot of options there. For a really cheap background, get a section of material from a fabric store, and arrange it like you would over a window (with the hills and valleys... not sure what to call them). then, use a single light to light the background, and place it to one side. with good use of DOF, it should look pretty nice. -- Whatevah / Jerry Horn Jerry {at} whatevah.com (working address) Freelance Photography and Web services. spambait: |

Any suggestions? background making is highly competitive, which means you get what you pay for most of the time. Pay less and you get something far too thin, or cheesy color. Denny's is ridiculous, they are one of the low enders, perhaps low balled now by korean imports and folks who work for a buck over minimum wage, but their product line was always aimed at the volume type shooter. The z-prophoto mailing list at yahoogroups.com has a whole folder of links on background makers from the cheesiest to the most elaborate. |

I have been trying to get some backgrounds as well
but as I am new to backgrounds and have only used seamless paper types in studio during my photography courses I have a few questions relating to my situation. I have noticed that the backgrounds come in different types of materials and in my case what type would be the most recommended if I need portability since would require to transport equipment in the boot of my car and also foldable that I can store it almost anywhere without difficulty. I'll mostly be using it in portraiture, usually one or two people but occasionally family or groups too. Thanks in advance Chris "Photogirl" wrote in message ... Hi, I'm new to the group.
