We dont have a very big house and with three young children we have toys etc everywhere. This means there isnt a wall without something against is
So here's my idea for a backdrop without buying a stand... for now. It's a king size bed sheet with elastic sown on each end by my better half. I've put two hooks up, one in the wall on the right and one in the door frame above the fish tank. In the bottom of the first photo yopu can see the top of the sofa. I was sat on the window sill when I took this which is a couple of foot from the back of the sofa. I didnt today but i can move the sofa right back to the window for more space and I can move the fire gaurd too.

It's by no means perfect but it's a start. The sheet needs the creases taking out. I turned off the fish light, but I will cover it in future to prevent and stray light reflections from flashed. I also closed the door behind to stop light coming through. I was quite close so will definatly move the sofa back in future. But these are creases that I can iron out... so to speak
My little models were on one today and having loads of fun and seemed very happy to pose for Daddy.
