You have studied all the different camera settings and now you've learned about the difference between shutter speed and f-stop. Through his studies, lighting models, the difference between butterflies and divide the light is obviously no evidence ... Now is the time to consider the context.
In my experience, with over 6000 academic sessions under my belt, most people prefer a natural setting rather than a formal context.
For example ...
If shooting indoors - the opportunities may include placing the subject on the floor around the fireplace, (always a fire going, and it seems nothing more than a black hole in the final print), or may be ordered in and around your furniture in the living room, etc.
Apart from the portraits could be in their backyard, the beach, a local park, etc. anyone has any meaning for them!
Most people just want a beautiful portrait that often marks them as people - rather than another group posed in front of the attraction provided by the screen that everyone uses.
Whenever possible, always try a place that makes sense for them ...
However, if you need a formal context, here are some suggestions ...
First - buy a standing fund commercially available to take your decor. They are inexpensive and easy to use, stability, transportability, etc., is better than your own.
This discussion, I am assuming that you do not have a professional studio portrait sessions and make at home (or your home).
There are a variety of basic materials:
Large paper rolls come in most any color you can imagine. They can be purchased in many stores and local camera are relatively inexpensive.
Advantages - They are readily available - very expensive - make the most of any color you can imagine. They can be used in a "scan", then the model (s) can sit or stand on the paper and have a perfect sweep behind them. Paper rolls come in two basic widths (about 4 feet and 9 feet that I can remember, I do not often use them).
Cons - The small size is not large enough for more than a blow to the head, while the larger size is very heavy - difficult to achieve - and most homes do not have enough "empty" of sweep without rearranging the furniture. (People really do not like you redecorate for them!) Book becomes dirty, creasing, tears and to be constantly replaced. If there are animals in the session, feel and sound papery kinky freak them out.
Painted canvas - can provide some truly exceptional portraits. Many providers to create the background and can be ordered via the Internet if you get to be close to a supplier.
Benefits - According to the creator, they can be incredibly beautiful. There are thousands of colors and patterns available, and if you have something unique in mind, you can get one for you to meet your exact specifications. They are very durable and will last years. They come in many sizes and can be used in a transparent and Sweep.
Cons - They are expensive! Tilt! Tilt! Once again, such as paper, most of them are heavy, difficult to handle and transport. As the paper against the whole furniture living room is a challenge.
Smoothly paper and canvas backgrounds tend to be the province of professional studios - where they can be mounted on the walls and destroyed everything in case of need.
They are really hard to work with the field.
I recommend you go to the fabric store and get strips of material. As anyone who is available and about 12 meters long. Get some kind of material that is not easy to wrinkles, or wrinkles no matter the better.
Advantages: - Select the type and color you like, you can get any color, style and texture to your liking. It can be hung packed (like theater curtains) behind the subject, or stretched flat if there is only one part is necessary. A piece can also be used as a continuous sweep.
You can use one piece or thirty - no matter how great backdrop for your needs, you can easily accommodate.
It is easy to store and transport (just bend the strips and put them in a crate in the back of your car!) The equipment is very cheap compared to a painting (which can run into thousands of dollars) it is reusable, so it works to be cheaper than paper over the long term.
Use a piece of two on the ground and since it is flexible, can be poured around the furniture. Animals have no problem walking on it. (It is also washable).
Cons - (! And you do) If you want more bandwidth, you'll have trouble finding enough of the same material. If you live near Garment District in a big city, they can have it. Otherwise, you may need to have your local pharmacy special order it for you.
This is the backdrop for many discussions, and you should have no trouble finding the perfect background for your creative vision!
