Hiring backgrounds

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,

Wayne

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.
