Any of you photogrpahers made your own backdrops?

This is one of those things where the amount of time and effort you are going to put in isn't worth it.

10 X 12 for $80... your time has to be worth more than $80 to make one of these things...

10 X 24 for under $150

Don't you have better things to do with your time?

I hope you're not thinking about shooting porn in front of a backdrop. That went out 20 years ago, except in Russia where it's still seems to be the way to shoot.

Wonder why those guys never sell anything.................

I did it years ago when I first started, but I used it only once. I've never even used the content I shot with it. What I recommend is assembling "sets". A desk, couch, tree... a modern chair from Scandinavian Designs, lamps, etc. Make it look like a nice place to live. I'd say stay away from backdrops because they don't inspire much photographic creativity.

We dont use backdrops but make all of our own sets. We have about 20.

Grey!

But here is a good tip.

Buy a painter's drop cloth.
Dig around in your garage and get some old paint.
Hang the drop cloth outside.
Fling multiple colours of paint on the cloth.

There you have a backdrop for years to come.

paint some walls and create scenes. that's much cheaper than buying muslins
