[title] Making a backdrop
-[* icon_caution] ***THIS STEP SHOWS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT I CAME UP WITH. You can build this how you see fit, as long as there is no visible non white background showing. It is possible to cut a trifold board down to size if you want a white background that is pre-fabricated as well; same as the ones you used in “school”.***
-[* 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 made from garbage like Amazon boxes. Due to how I chose to setup my backdrop (posterboard) making a custom softbox cut to size worked best for me.
-[* 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.

+[* icon_reminder] ***When using posterboard, use the MATTE side for photos. Glossy materials and light do not mix as they reflect light in such a way matte materials do not.***244
+[* red] ***Setup a back support for your backdrop.*** This can be anything from a trifold board cut in half (the style you used in "school") or a custom design. I chose a custom design since my layout works best when I have top angled lighting which necessities a semi custom design or expensive soft box.298
