Reddit mentions of Savage Seamless Background Paper - #1 Super White (53 in x 36 ft)

This or in the color you want. And then mount with this or something like it.

I used the roll of paper as the backdrop. Thisroll specifically. Savage is great and they make many different colors.

Nope

this is the paper

lights are $10 clamp lights from lowes with 100w equivalent daylight cfls

probably don't need the extra floor lamp I was playing with

I had some speaker stands I clamped them to, you can spend like $40-$50 on amazon and get some mini lights on adjustable stands instead

I ordered some diffusers for the lights which haven't arrived yet to soften things and play with it

This is what we use.

Thank you! That's actually something I've been attempting to improve lately. Historically I was using my iPhone, because attempts to use a DSLR looked even worse (because I had no idea what I was doing). After becoming a wee bit more knowledgeable on a recent vacation in Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons, I became determined to finally improve my indoor shots. I found some surprisingly reasonable equipment on Amazon for background and lighting (lighting x2, tabletop backdrop stand, background paper, clamps to hold the paper taut), leveraged tripods I already owned and used one of my Pentax DSLRs (A K20D in this case). I still auto-leveled all the images on my computer, but hopefully they are better than in the past.

It shouldn't be too difficult to find paper rolls that width. I've had good luck with large models using photographer's backdrop paper. It comes all the way up to 12' (a little over 3.5 meters).

Haha, thanks! Just a roll of white photo backdrop paper and a photo strobe with a 22" beauty dish and sock.

Looking for an all white backdrop recommendation, already have a stand like this one: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E6GRHBO

And am looking for something like this to attach to it:

Any other suggestions?

Hey /u/Coooooooooookies,

I saw you had posted a reply, but then I couldn't respond because it was deleted? I'm not sure if you meant to do that, but I already had a response.

EDIT: Ah they didn't like your shortened urls. It was delayed in posting that message.

I'll paste my response below:

I'm glad it helped!

I would avoid fabric, unless you like ironing! Wrinkles would definitely ruin that boutique look. That stand and probably the clips are too weak to support a wrinkle free vinyl backdrop, and upgrading those would be pricey.

So you could go with seamless paper, it comes in different widths, but you have to cut it to length. It's reusable so long as it doesn't get soiled or bent. It's a little pricer as it comes in big rolls in case you need more. $40 for 53" by 12 yards or $65 for 86" by 12 yards.

Also, I don't know if you already watched Tony and Chelsea's studio tour, but they make a great suggestion about filling sandbags with gravel/stone, because it's way easier to clean than sand if it leaks!
