Mary asks:

“How did you make the background for taking your pictures?”

The background in my photos is whatever happens to be there. Sometimes I use a white sheet or canvas on a back wall to make a one-color background, and other times I just shoot the photo.

I choose one setting over the other according to my location, available materials, and reason for taking the picture.

I’m more meticulous when choosing a background when taking pictures for books such as How to Start a Home-Based Gift Basket Business and The Gift Basket Design Book. But I simply enjoy snapping and not worrying about what’s in back.

You’ll find more ideas for taking pictures and choosing cameras on the photography page.
