ok, so I'd like to start playing around with some different lighting and backgrounds in my own home... really to take some studio looking shots of my son but also to practice indoor lighting techniques (i'm gonna start with the exisiting natural lighting in my house and work my way up to strobes and such...)
FarrahJ was nice enough to show me some pullback shots that she used to create her pictures (as always, her photos are fantastic! :thumbup... however I wanted to get a variety of some equipment recommendations on a basic setup.
B&H has good shipping prices to Guam, and I think I've picked out a good stand system... i'm concerned with background material... what would you folks recommend? Canvas, paper, muslin??? there are so many choices i'm not sure what to choose. I prefer a plain color background (i want it to be very minimalistic shots), and again these will be used primarily to learn on and to take some shots of my infant...
Any other suggestions on other materials that some of you have worked with to create your own in home studio would be great.
