i have tons of stuff to sell on ebay and i want to set them on a white background for a cleaner shot of the images.

i was thinking to either buy some thick fabric and tack it to the wall and layer it onto a table and shoot my images on that or maybe 2 white foam boards (one for against wall and one for under the item).


any reccs?

 

Its ebay - use a bed sheet.

 

a lot of my items are not small ticketed items, based on past exp. i know if it looks better - its going to sell easier/faster/for more.

just looking at an inexpensive way of getting that.

 

couple of foam boards will work or a sheet it is ebay

 

Yep either will work fine. Or if you are planning on doing it more in the future, some wood rods, screws and a bed sheet will get you a cheap softbox for better lighting.

 

DIY!

good post man, thanks!

 

No problem! I had it bookmarked with the intention of making one, but have been too busy & lazy! If you build one, please document it and take lots of pictures!

 

i got a roll of architecture plotting paper to use as a seamless. its mounted on two light stands with a table underneath and it works flawlessly. total cost for the roll was like $30 bucks. roll dimensions: 36" wide X 500ft long. they have smaller rolls.

 

Use some spiderman or wonder woman sheets - humor helps market your items also.

Better yet - have a gorgeous chick model with the items.
