I do freelance photography with my digital slrI usually just take photos of my friends and ghetto-rig my backdrops and lighting using old lamps, sheets and aluminum foil.Now that im getting a more professional camera, im going to start trying to expand and do some photo shoots of not just friends so that i can get my name out there, but i don't want to seem unprofessional with my ghetto sheets and foil.i need the basic lighting equipment and a basic backdrop and backdrop holder.suggestions??
Sand it and always, always use a primerThe paint will peel off in a year if don't use a primer.
flip it over put it on some kind of stand sand it and primer it and paint a way
I primed mine with zinc chromite then a good marine paint Sprayed it
Great name for the boat and here's what was found on a web site about painting an aluminum boat: The surface area of the boat is considered to be small in size, therefore, I would choose to use the conventional air spray equipment for paint applicationFirst clean the aluminum surface to remove all dirt, old paint and oxide from the surfaceApply a coat of acid etch primer following the mixing and application instructions to the letterWithin 24 hours of applying the etch primer, apply the topcoat finishThis will be an automotive grade or marine grade polyurethane coatingUse a good quality product to protect all the prep time and elbow grease you invested prior to the topcoat application Good luck!!!
try OKorderor if you want you can check out the strobist websitebut then you have to build something yourself A cheap backdrop stand can be bout for around 100 dollars that can come with 2 backdrops (white/black) to get you startedSame things with lightsdon't use the flood lights or work lights cause there hot and you'll be limited to what you can dofind a cheap set of strobes (chinese) or check out Adorama's websitethey have an economy strobe These make good learning tools till you become a pro
