There are two ways you can roll your seamless paper. Don’t forget to put a clamp on the top of your C-stand arm! If you don’t you risk the seamless paper slipping.
I like to tape down my seamless using painters tape to secure it. If they aren’t, that means one side is higher than the other and you have to move your C-stand higher or lower accordingly. You can tell that your seamless is straight when the gap between the C-stand and the paper run parallel to each other. The seamless paper is on a cardboard pole so you don’t have to worry about the middle sagging.
It’s super easy actually! Just set up two C-stands with the arms out and pull the seamless in between. What is seamless? It’s a roll of paper that’s about ten or twelve feet long that comes in a variety of colors. I’ve been using seamless paper for years now, ever since I started my photography career.
