I often enjoy working on location during a photoshoot. It usually looks better in your photo than a paper roll as a background. You can also create better stories this way. Finding locations can be a hassle, though, so I sometimes recreate a room in my studio.

It can be relatively easy to create the illusion of a room. For the photo above, I bought a roll of wallpaper and attached it to the wall using some double-sided tape.

I have a sofa bed in the studio which, with a sheet over it, immediately looks like a bed, and of course it can actually be used as one.

Some net curtains on a background stand suggest a window. A flash provides the light behind the curtains, giving me nice, even lighting from my so-called window in the room in my studio.

For another photoshoot, I bought a dressing table on Marktplaats for 30 euros. I think it is another nice addition for creating the look of a bedroom.

This way, you can create great photos at relatively little cost and with little effort, making it look as though you went somewhere on location for your shoot.
