As well a photography I also like to build Models, Aircraft mainly but I have just started on figurines (See my facebook page Albums/My Model Projects).
I have played around with various things in the house to use as a back drop and base, plain walls, white tables, even my bed with the duvet thrown off at one point (white sheet), lol. These turned out ok, but not very practical. So I bought a back drop frame and some white Linen, hung the Linen over the frame and draped it over a table in front. It worked great up to a point. I struggle with the creases. I have to iron it every time I use it because of folding it away, and because it is linen there are always creases there that are not created by folding, and these show up on my images.
I have to use my flash on a powerful setting to white out the creases, which effects the subjects in the photo. Sometimes I don't want to use the flash but in doing so the creases are fully visible. Obviously I am using the wrong material, what should I be using? What am I looking for???
