Kimonos, combat boots and Kamiko: A test shoot with my new Asian style backdrop

Thanks!

Very cool pics! Her background works for me, but constructive suggestions are always good too!

That was the first background I built. I've recently started reusing it,

It does make a great backdrop!

A piece of foam core with some cut down bamboo place mats bought in a Chinatown shop years ago, while the bottom weave section was cut from a rubber place mat bought in a Canadian Tire Store (the once sold only tires and auto parts....a very long time ago)

This was taken when I had only one Kamiko body, hence the combat boots. They were too much trouble to take off and put on again. That's why I have two bodies for Kamiko these days: Kimono Kamiko, and Combat Boot Kamiko.

That's great, as others have said a little decoration would look great which I think is funny coming from me since my backdrops are quite plain.
