Creating special settings doesn't have to be expensive. In this video, Gavin Hoey shows how he uses silver emergency blankets to create a silver background. A fun effect to try in a shoot yourself.
Gavin also shows how he arrives at his final photos, step by step. He also refers to his earlier video about the golden side of these emergency blankets. You can find that video here.
In the past, I have used aluminium foil as a background. In a different way, but it still made me think of it.
