www.hypebeast.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10266&highlight=product (for Kennmon's thread of the same name)

What can be used to create the clean white or black backgrounds? Preferably something I can do with stuff I already have or can pick up easily, I know there's products for it but bleh I wanted to see if there was a way to do it w/out them.

Thanks!

lightbox, you can create a really cheap one for like 10 bucks. easy to make too..search on google on how to make a light box. but then you need lighting, and couple flashes..

simplest and cheapest way to go is using white paper.

then its jus playing with your settings.

This is definitely the most informative and least asshole/annoyingkid/stupidtroll infested area of the forum.

Edit: oops, this is DUM, on my friend's computer.

For clothing, I wouldn't recommend a lightbox unless you're willing to make one big enough.

Here are some samples I did for a friend.

APOLOGIZE FOR THE SIZE.









Anyways, I recommend some strong lighting. Brightest you can get .. and you can just purchase seamless paper from the art shop.

Arevalo, did you use a large lightbox, or the seamless paper method you were speaking about?

Looks good by the way.

tried it out today, turned out surprisingly great. i used one light source because i didnt want a straight white background, i wanted the shadow-y mood-y feel.

Which is why I recommend strong lighting.

It looks pixelated because there is not enough light, therefore it shoots at a higher ISO which gives you grain.


L0CHNESS,

for the tees .. just seamless paper.

for smaller things, i use a shooting table.
