Hiring backgrounds

Postby PiroStitch on Wed Sep 13, 2006 3:33 am

G'day,

Just wondering if it's possible to hire backgrounds used for studio photos. I have a friend who's looking for a portrait photographer preferably one who has the type of cloud background you see in graduation photos.

I offered to help him out but need to find out if it's possible to hire the background.

Cheers,

Good suggestion Wendell.

Just watch the width of the wallpaper of you go down that route, as some can be fairly narrow, which might be an issue.
