Indoor Photographic Backgrounds

Now, you have to support that pole where you plan on setting up your "studio", so you could; (a) get some brackets that can be fixed to the wall, the brackets then holding the pole; (b) support the pole with clamps between two stands such as photo light stands; (c) fix a couple of uprights to a table and support the pole between them, which is what I did. This is how. This picture shows the 180cm table I used; it's simply an inexpensive desk which was in my "home studio". The two vertical uprights are 4cm x 4cm wood beams from the local hardware store; each is about 120cm high.
Each upright is fitted to the table by a 10cm metal L-bracket as shown at right.
The support pole which goes through the Seamless Background Paper is held atop the uprights by a couple of cheap screw-in U-hooks as shown here.
As I'm using 1.3m wide paper, I fixed the uprights just a bit wider apart than that, at 1.45m between them; this allows a little room for movement of the paper. This photo shows the Seamless Background Paper spread just over the edge of the table, with an aerosol can and a 35mm camera placed on the table for size comparison.
