Title: "Experiment with Backdrops," from "Portrait and Candid Photography," by Erin Man Post by: PWS-Staff on March 09, 2011, 09:09:42 AM Take a portrait using a fabric backdrop as a design element. Choose a favorite patterned shirt or dress, bring it to a fabric store and find a fabric that echos or contrasts the pattern in your subject's outfit. Naturally, you can be inventive and find fabrics (drapes, curtains, blankets, towels, etc.) that are already available to you.

Have learned one thing about getting the cheapest material...! If you hang the cheapish material and than hang it on a white or real light background, your wall, and hit it with the lights it has a tendency to bleed through. So usually I'll get the next step up $$ on the fabric I get. Using a reflector(s) will also reduce the bleed through.... ::) -Jim-
