    sup yall .
    i just realized i have a good bit of space for a lil studio setup for my photography
    i am wondering if u guys would know where they would sell cheap backdrops ?
    i dont know alot about these backdrops but some of my friends have told me
    that its a bitch for shipping so i wanna get a backdrop withing ireland any store ?
    well another question ive seen some people using these large reflectors as a backdrop and they seem more portable and easier to use (u can fold them)
    but yeah i would be interested in getting one of them aswel
    if anyone knows where i can get these cheap withing ireland any stores around cork area etc.
    thanks in advance

    If you want to do it really cheaply, then paint everything white, fix a decent curtain pole high near the ceiling and hang sheets from it, or you can buy sheeting which is about 108" wide and as many yards long as you want!

    I'd recommend Barker also. Maybe not cheap but you do want the gear to last.

    Why is the Irish business always considered a rip off when compared to internet shopping sites. To be very fair i have bought a few bits off Paddy Barker as im often passing his warehouse and i find him to be nearly as good pricewise as web based companies, nice friendly staff and most of all no hassle if you have a problem. Furthermore he doesn't deal in cheapo products only Pro & Semi-Pro, hence quality products will always seem more expensive until you look at them more carefully and see the value for money they actually represent.
