I love you for this :noes:

Seriously, it's amazing seeing your setup and hearing tips on how you work. I'm going out as soon as possible and buying some pvc pipe and a big sheet :D

oh my goodness, thanks for all the effort you put into that! great information. i just learned more from that than a year in photo class.

I think my favorite part of this is seeing your set-ups for backgrounds and lighting. That will be very helpful in the future. Thank you for all of this.

I humbly (seriously!) suggest you don't use a sheet; buy a scrim on ebay or use white nylon or goretex. Sheets don't transmit light very well compared the the scrim material. Scrims are made of the same stuff as the front of a softbox; I guess I should have said that in my writeup.
:iconayelie-stock:
Hmm. How much more expensive would a scrim or nylon/goretex be? I have a rather limited budget :lol: You mentioned you found yours for $20 on ebay - is that common or are they generally more expensive?

I wouldn't need much for now, since I do mostly object stock. But in the future I want to recruit some members of my former ballet company to do some model stock with them, and need to find a low-cost lighting solution; I figure a diffuser screen with bright lights behind it would be the cheapest, and I could use the screen to reflect the sunlight on sunny days as well. I'm familiar with scrim material from years in the theatre but had assumed that sort of material was rather expensive.
