Cleaning Up Your Background

It can be tough to see if your white background really is 100% white. Often times what looks white or black on your computer screen is just a shade off or it contains patches of other colors or dirt. In today’s episode we cover how to create a few layers to check the purity of your background and go over some great techniques on how to get your background picture perfect.

Creating a Studio at Your House

It is amazing what you can do at your own house to make it look like you are shooting in a professional studio. Start with a Savage Seamless Background Paper, 107 wide x 12 yards (Inch), Super White, One and some stands and you are well on your way to creating studio portraits. The great thing about shooting on seamless is that it hides everything, so whatever is on either side of the seamless doesn’t matter. This includes your garage, your kitchen, or your crazy dog. Here is a quick Wish List to get you up and running your home studio.
