Have you ever heard of a sweep stand?
For me, a sweep stand is a gorgeous thing. Since when I got it, my life has been one sunny, happy place. It is one of my most favorite photography tools.
I used it to create a background in all the pictures that you can see in the photo-mix above.
This is what my sweep stand looks like ‘naked’.
It actually is a plastic background support stand – priceless help if you take tabletop shots of small items.
And even more priceless help if you dream of uniform backgrounds for your subjects.
Which people like me, also known as addicted food and crafts bloggers, often do.
The sweep comes with a generous selection of different colored paper for creating a smooth background without a visible corner or fold.
I sometimes use bright white fabric instead of paper. With a little ironing from time to time, that can forever stay fold-less.
Using the sweep is really easy. You just fold out support stand on the back and choose the paper color. Then you attach the paper to the background clips.
And you are ready to go.
And the best part is, it is totally inexpensive.
You can find more details here.
I hope this information will help you to make your pics even more awesome.
See you soon!
Love,
Petra

Petra-love the new look to the site. I havent been around much as I have been dieting and you just have WAY too many goodies on here that I was not able to fight the temptation! ha! I enjoyed the post about the sweep stand. I enjoy photography but I dont know alot about it so I’m always reading your posts to learn something new! Hope you are well!
Yay, Joy is back, Joy is back. I’ve really missed you!
I’m glad you like the new look of the site. It means a lot to me.
Yeah, I am doing much better. Finally!!! I think it’s going to stay like this this time.
I am really happy you’re back. 🙂
Good luck with your diet, btw.
Aw, feels good that I was missed! That means alot! And I’m so glad to hear that you are feeling better and have experienced much improvement in your health! I look forward to reading more from you in the future!
This is a great post! As a totally novice blogger/photographer (with only a dinky little point n shoot) I dont know anything about handy gadgets like these and the price isnt too bad either, thank you lots for this 🙂
I really need to buy that stand plus those sheets. Thanks for sharing the links too 🙂
This is such a cool prop. Thanks for blogging about it!
Thanks for the tip! I have been trying to figure out the best way to get a good background for my cake photos. I need one of these!
Thanks for sharing.Love it!
Awesome tip, thanks for sharing!
thank you I will try it.
I’m not sure how I stumbled onto your site, but I’m sure glad I did. I have been looking for a small table top stand without breaking the bank, this one really fits the bill, both ways. I just ordered it on eBay for $20.00, I’m a wand maker and also make ritual tools so it will be in continuous use photographing my products to post online.
Thanks for the heads up.
