Question about paining a dedicated photography room.
Any thoughts?
Here is the kit I bought. I'm really excited to get started with it.

I'd go with white and buy some black backdrops and some black painted styrofoam panels in case you need to "swallow" some light intensity. Let me know if you have any difficulties, I am doing commercial photography almost 10 years now

apliz2005 wrote:20 years of photography here, I agree with the above statement, go with a mat white. Remember that the neutral green may reflect on the skin of your doll, so having plenty of talc powder for your model will prove to be useful.
Absolutely agree, irradiance reflections from green will look horrible on her skin. Do it white and get a black dropcloth like I have. That way you can change backgrounds, but good lighting is essential - your kit should be fine. You will need colored lights too. I use colored LED lights from my band, and they accent fine.

This video is geared more towards the use of strobes rather than static lights in the kit you bought but you'll get the idea.

Re: Question about paining a dedicated photography room.
I have to concur with the basic premises all stated above... Though I am not a professional photographer, I do some commercial work as a sideline. The single most important thing about a photo studio is to prepare it in such a way that it becomes "Modular" in its overall concept.
Having said that, having the correct foundation makes all the difference. Flat wall and ceiling surfaces are an absolute MUST. For my studio, I started with a 20GP shipping container, with side doors. This container was a little more expensive than a standard 20GP, but well worth it. I will post some photo's later, as it is a work in progress... Smooth flat wall and ceiling surfaces, with a commercial grade flat white paint applied by roller or sprayer is worth every dollar spent. By adding a sheer, semi-sheer or opaque backdrop can make huge differences in how a scene looks... if it doesn't look right, change the backdrop, change the colour, change the material type... but the flat walls and ceiling... they are the foundation that CAN NOT be changed easily.
Just my $0.02 worth.
