Indoor shooting: Backdrops?

TUMBLR. ITS ALLWAYS TUMBLR. Haha XD, tumblr has magnificent backgrounds and other things anime-ish and esthetic alike. Just search In your keyword in the search at and it will most likely give ou a lot of the options you'd like. And idk how to print it on cloth and such but that sounds like I good idea, but if your on a budget, just print them out in sprate printing papers? And tape them together etc. I don't have a good camera and I also have bad lighting and backdrop skills, but if I wanted to do what you wanted, that'd be my safest bet

I buy adjustable rods from Daiso (they have a super long/large one, almost 2m) and hang stuff on it like curtains, blankets, cloth etc to serve as backdrops. Or large pieces of paper, bamboo table runners etc for a variety of textures/colours.

I haven't done much photography yet, but the pictures I have taken have been on a tall wood table that I keep close to the wall. If I take the picture at the right angle, it looks like a hardwood floor. It's also near a window, so I get lots of natural light.

 

I'll have to keep all your great backdrop suggestions in mind for future pictures!

PC Monitor is quite handy if you don't mind limited space. Just make sure that you have full rights to use those background images.

I use towels, wrap paper and the walls a lot as a background.

 

It started to get boring so I got those backdrops on ebay.

 

Here are some examples of the backdrops I have used from ebay (sorry for the non-DD pictures, I have used the backdrops with my DDs twice only):

 

 

 

 

 

Same backdrop as above

 

 

Jazijaz : I've always been sceptical about backdrops, but your pics prove that they can look rather nice when used right :>

I'm very basic when it comes to backdrops. I have a studio backdrop in black, white and green. I know you can buy others to work with these so you may have convinced me to try them!

Thank you =) I never take my dolls out, I want to change that but I live in the city and there's nothing beautiful around here. I depend on backdrops a lot. I try not to put the dolls too close to the backdrop and I iron them before I use them. I also take the light of the backdrop in consideration when posing my dolls. I'm happy you liked them!

Haha... I recently used my cat's cardboard Christmas house as a backdrop for one of my bjd's.... lol.... it worked out ok i think....

I recently made a make shift light box. Tall box lined with white fabric, some fairy lights and tulle. Turned out pretty great and is a decent indoors back drop for my girls!

Since I saw your pictures I've actually been meaning to do this as well, or something similar. Your pictures came out so nicely!
