How I take my photos
    White Background  Charcoal Grey Background A lot of you have PM'ed me ask how I take my photos and get those backgrounds Well I use 180gsm coloured card from an art shop (very cheap) and take when ever possible the photos outside in sunlight (not direct) Hopefully the above photos show how to get the backgrounds sorted. But the most important thing I find is a to use a mini tripod. Mine is a Manfrotto DIGI-TABLE-TOP model Cat. No: 709  Hopefully this has helped some of you. Thanks

Absolutely awesome skills in both modelling and photographics Steve. Love the way you make your photos look like Sales Brochures.
What settings do you find gives you the best results with your camera - e.g. do you use Macro, flash on/off depending on whether you are inside or out, file size 640 x 480, 1280 x 960 etc. I realize that not everyone has a good enough camera to change all these settings but I think it would make a good how to for AF as it gives us all a guide to professional shots like yours and what to look for in a camera to acheive it. There has been a lot of posts about what camera do you guys use or what should I buy - they could just be pointed to your "How To Take Pro Photo's" post and there is all the info they need.

I built a table so I don't need to lay on the ground with a mini tripod. I'm an old guy, it's take me forever to getup some days!
Posterboard makes an excellent, cheap backgound. Costs me 33 cents a sheet at Wal Mart. Great tute there dude! Tim D. http://modelcartech.com

Thanks, Hiro! I was wondering how that was done. I tried taking pics on a blank sheet of paper once, but it wasn't big enough to cover the entire area. I'll give this another try when I take pics of my next model.

Nice!
I use the same technique but the camera im using at the moment isnt the best. I find taking the photos either early morning (just before the sun comes up) or late afternoon, you then will get realy nice even light without any harsh shadows.  I will have a nice new camera in 3 weeks yay!
