| Now that I've found my perfect (for now) light setup, what kind of backdrops (brands and types) and stands are people using? I found some cheap backdrops on ebay, any advice? |

Quoting myself from this thread:

Almost anything can be used as a backdrop. It just needs to be big enough to fill your frame and interesting (or uninteresting) enough to complement your photo.
Some ideas I've been having:
* Bamboo window shades, the kind that roll up.
* Fake brick paneling
* Fake stucco paneling
* Vinyl flooring
* Sheet metal (especially aged and beaten up sheet metal)
* Aged plywood siding
Or maybe I just spend too much time in Home Depot :-) |
White and black paper rolls are good to have around too.

Decide if you will be taking it with you or not. If you will a collapsible backdrop is super handy. Wescott has a line of them that work well.
EDIT: That should have been Westcott
