Can anyone please tell me where I can purchase an inexpensive white background/backdrop, or a suggestion on what I can use? I need it by tomorrow so I don't have time to order it online. Thank you!!! :)
you should also be able to get a stand for it too for a fairly reasonable amount.
If you dont have a permenant studio set up, you should go the stands rather than the wall mounted ones.
What about getting a thicker fabric at the fabric/hobby store? I'm not an expert, but that's what I'd do. Or a roll of white craft paper. They have pretty wide rols at most craft stores or a teacher's supply store.
You could try going to your local fabric shop and seeing if they have something suitable available, I got my cream and black one from one. Where are you doing the shoot? And what are you photographing and if it's portrait is it full length or just head and shoulder?
Yes, you have to watch the feet area because the floor will show. You could just put another sheet down on the floor, if you wanted it white too. In the photo above, the wood floor that I was standing on showed in the photo. I just painted over it post processing.
This one has wrinkles, but it was just for fun so I wasn't worried about it.
@dmrams, apologies for my first comment, I didnt read the part where you mentioned that you dont have enough time to order online. Arts stores would have had paper and depending on whether you wanted full body shots etc you could have used card.
if you take a look at the images, you'll see wrinkles in the areas of shadow. If you dont mind that then thats completely fine, but it does concern me a bit and I woudlnt use it / have never used it.
I suppose you could also pull the model about 2m away from the backdrop if you have enough space, make sure its high key and that would eliminate the wrinkles.

And rent a stand from a camera shop.
