hey guys, new to the forum, and need some advice with studio/fashion photography...
im trying to do some basic white background shots with models (portrait and full body action) and need some help setting up a temporary studio...here are some questions:
1. I know I will need some white cloth or something else to use as the background, what kind of fabric is the best (not see through with flash) and cheapest and how much will I need? Where can I buy some?
2. how should I set up the cloth once I buy it? I was originally going to tape it to the wall (i know, very bad!) but I dont have much money or time to set up a stand for the cloth! Tips?
3. how much room will I need to set this up? I have to do this at school and I have a limited amount of space.
and 4. what type of lighting/flashes is the best for this type of photography and how can I achieve it cheaply? My graphics teacher has a couple of lamps around but I have no idea if that will work.
thanks for the help in advance!
