[chris182]

So I am looking to start a "home studio" nothing fancy, and I was wondering the best backdrop to get(seamless paper,muslin,suede) Iv heard good things about seamless paper...the sheets I have been using are just no longer working bc the black is just covered in lint that WONT come off, so I am wanted to order a backdrop with a stand preferably just not sure where or what kind. Iv found good deals on bhphotovideo.com. Any help,input,experience with, +/- of each all help!!!! please point me in the right direction.

I converted our spare formal dining room into a studio.. And for backdrops, I hung a heavy, decorative curtain rod, with lots of curtain ring/clips. I just keep my fabric backdrops clipped on there, and pull them across like drapes when I need a different backdrop

isnt the background going to be blurred out anyway?

Yeah those seamless paper backgrounds are sweet. I have a couple and I got mine at my local camera store because I looked online for them on BH and they where a steal at like 45 dollars or so but shipping was about 25 dollars or so, my point being that I got mine from the camera store without paying any shipping for 55 out the door. Something to consider when purchasing those backgrounds online. Seamless is the way to go
