paper backdrop and some in-home portraits

[candleman]

got a few in-home shots with my new paper backdrop.

Wow, these portraits are brilliant, almost popping out of the screen

Right on. I love the light. I really dig the background splash and the fact that is is asymetrical. I saw the lighting set up in one of your other posts and think you have done an awesome job of setting your lights ratios.

These are really nice...a paper backdrop? Can you tell me about this...how do you keep it from wrinkling? I don't mean to sound stupid...but I've never seen it before.

These are great, Jared. Really nice work. I like the color of the background, neutral but not gray/black/white.

The second one is precious!

Strobist: Show us how you took it?
its on a giant cardboard roll .. 11m long.. so you just roll it back up afterwards. or cut off the dirty bit where the feet have been.
