Seamless paper doesn't require a cross pole either. It can be very inexpensive and take up much less room. You can get brackets that hold three or more rolls with a chain and gear for each roll so you just pull down which you want. My favorite way to put up the background these days is to avoid the standard light stand and cross pole methods but instead to connect to brackets on the walls or via super clamps to Autopoles, Unipoles or some other name.

No problem, Lucy, and good luck with your new studio. They are easy to launder and the deep texture suppresses reflections. Just try the cheap fleece blankets and see if you get good results.

You can't carry them around-those things weigh a ton! Paper rolls are useless for on site work like weddings. I will investigate the paper role option - it was either this or vinyl, and paper gives me budget to buy more than one colour.

I usually do wedding and music photography, and outside portraits, so used to working with natural light - lighting and set up for studio is all a bit new to me. You're generally using very soft and diffused light sources. A single roll of Savage seamless paper in white would probably last the average home studio guy a couple of years or more.Īs the other Craig (Hotdog) mentioned, reflections and shadows aren't really an issue if you know what you're doing or really even if you don't unless you put your subject almost right up to the backdrop. You control how bright or dark by varying distance and whether or not you choose to use a backlight. Seamless paper rolls are so inexpensive that using bed sheets or other strange items is just not worth it. Depending on which set I'm using, I have three or six rolls of seamless paper on the racks at a time, in various colors, but I prefer white for most and black for most of what's left. I sometimes use muslin, but find seamless paper just easier and when it gets dirty, tear it off and roll out some more. Most professionals like Hotdog and myself tend to use seamless paper a lot of the time. I'm just starting out experimenting with portrait photography, and I wondered if anyone could recommend the best type of backdrop to buy.I've just purchased a 3m frame and fleece backdrop from Wex, but am going to return the backdrop as it's not as 'crinkle free' as they advertised! So my options would now be either a paper role of vinyl - which would be best? Or is there another option out there? I need something quick to put up that absorbs as much light as possible to limit shadows? Thanks in advance!
