Leif,

How large are the subjects you are considering ?

I have two large graduated backgrounds that are washable silk finish plastic. They are years old so no idea of current cost. NFB may be able to advise. I also use a piece of black velvet - very handy for absobing light. I have also used a multitude of things including an off cut of steel sheet, it depends on the subject. My feeling is that any background material should not be glossy but silk or matt. Handicraft shops generally sell a reasonable range of paper/card materials that may be suitable up to A3 size.

Don
