Creative Background Ideas (from MCP)

During the winter months, looking for ideas for indoor backdrops can become challenging...especially when we are sick of using the digital backdrop (green screen). I've used wrapping paper, quilts and banner paper as alternatives to my drop cloths, but luckily MCP Actions posted a list of ideas. Some require some storage, but many you may already have in your home. Thanks Jodi at MCP! Below are some from her post...(for the full post visit http://www.mcpactions.com/blog/2012/02/20/30-creative-studio-backdrop-ideas-for-photographers-on-a-budget/ )
