Photography Background Support System

This video entry shows you just how quick and easy it is to setup the background stand I purchased from Amvona.com. Only 5 minutes to put it together and get the 10′ x 20′ muslin on and ready to shoot! A great value purchase that is easy to setup and travel with.

DIY Background Canvas

After reading the Strobist article about Home Depot (cheap) photography solutions I gave dying my own backdrop a shot. It’s not a 100% successful attempt but I learned a lot about what I should do next time.

Post image for Smoothie Photo Shoot

I had planned to photograph the smoothie (which is a raspberry/purple color) in a plain clear tumbler glass, slice of fresh lemon on the edge, with an orange straw that has a pink stripe running down it, against a white background with a little bit of a shadow.

I actually stole a handful of straws from Dunkin’s this morning for this project. Though after doing some Goggling I found some articles that area giving me some different ideas and variations I’d really like to try also!
