How easy is it to get a white background like this? Is this literally just something like this https://www.amazon.com/GFCC-Polyester-Photography-Background-Graduation/dp/B07FXJN5L1 ? Anything I should know if I want a very similar texture to pic related? I'll be shooting this in my room (moving my bed out). I have a large window on one side and a wall on the other. Would it be best to block natural light with blackout curtains and instead focus on actual professional lights?

Lastly what makes this picture so good beyond the subject? Is it all post processing? Pic related just seems so detailed. It's really cool.

Im a beginner and looking to shoot some promo images. Photographers in my area have been pissing me off so I'm just going to do this myself. I have a unlimited budget (not actually, but I can invest big if I can get something cool). I'll be using a Canon R8 with a Canon RF35mm. In the end I'll probably just experiment, but some low hanging fruit tips are appreciated.

Post your stupid questions that don't deserve their own threads here and yes this is engagement bait.

Anyone use pro photos and try to recreate them?

Anybody see anything like this show up on a camera before? Not sure what to make of it, but it triggered my security camera.

All video related questions and discussion is intended for this thread. Here we discuss techniques, gear and anything else related to capturing video footage. Please don't pretend to be an expert if you don't know what you're talking about. Kindly leave your ego at the door.
Posting short films/scripts or other work you've done is encouraged.
We tend to use and recommend DSLRs/mirrorless cameras because they provide phenomenal picture quality for their price, have large sensors (ie the same size used in high-end cinema cameras and higher) and have interchangeable lenses.
In contrast, consumer camcorders often have much smaller sensors and a fixed lens.

Quick FAQS
>what’s the best camera available on a “budget”?
The blackmagic pocket cinema camera 4k, or the Panasonic gh5 (can pick one up for like 500 bucks atm)
>what’s a good beginner video camera?
Anything that works, shoots at least 1080p and preferably has interchangeable lenses. Any recommendation beyond that will cause arguments so read the fucking sticky if that isn't satisfactory.
>What's a good sound solution that won't break the bank?
Zoom h1
>Can I use a zoom lens for video?
Yes
>Do I need cine lenses?
No
>Do I need 4k?
No. 1080 looks great on a cinema screen. 4k looks better.
>Can someone tell me if my video is any good?
Yes, but be prepared to receive harsh criticism. If you're going to waste 5 minutes of our time with a shitty out-of-focus montage of nothing then we'll tell you that it's crap
>Is it okay to dox myself?
...Personally I wouldn't but what do I know?

How do I get started with building and architecture photography? Seems like a cool, interesting field.
I don't mean "how do I build a clientbase" or any of that monetary faggotry, I mean purely artistically
