| + | [title] Making a backdrop |
|---|---|
| + | [* icon_caution] ***This step IS NOT set in stone; it is a suggestion on one way you can setup a white background. For example: While I used posterboard and a box, you can use a single piece of posterboard on the work surface and a trifold board as you used in public "school" as well. There is no wrong way to do this as long as it looks good on camera.*** |
| + | [* icon_reminder] ***Make sure you tape the GLOSSY SIDE and use the MATTE SIDE of your posterboard. The glossy side will reflect excess light in ways the matte side will not and cause issues by absorbing usable light so it cannot be used for your final photo.*** |
| + | [* red] ***Setup a back support for your backdrop.*** This can be anything from a dedicated trifold board you used when you were in public "school", or it can be literal garbage like an Amazon box. Due to how I chose to setup my backdrop (posterboard) it was more time efficient for me to cut up a box to size so I can put it in place with full support. |
| + | [* orange] ***Setup a white background to hide everything in the back.*** After placing it so it will not move and there are no visible areas that are unsightly, you are ready to take pictures for your guide. |
| + | [* yellow] *** (Optional) Place your object in the space and do a test shot.*** If you are unsure if the area you chose is good, do 1-2 test shots and make sure you are happy with the end result. If you do not like it now, you did not commit a lot of time to bad photos. |
