•  What does the set look like? Do you need background materials such as canvas, paper, or are you building a fake set to simulate a location. For example, one time we had a shoot in the studio for a company that made siding for homes. So we had a set builder construct a fake wall with windows and the siding attached to each wall. We then moved each wall into position in the studio and propped it up with boards hidden behind the section of the wall. In some cases we created fake flower gardens and planted flowers in bark dust. In another one replaced the bicycle leaning against the side of the house and so on. If you’re doing this type of commercial photography it is good to know a local set builder if you are not keen enough to build these types of things.
