Anyone have any good suggestions for senior portrait backgrounds? I have been using this one, but I am sick of it and want more choices:

Hi Jim,
Take a look at Digital Anarchy's Backdrop Designer. It's a Photoshop plugin which will allow you to design and generate literally millions of digital backgrounds that you can insert in post after shooting against a blue screen or whatever. There's a free trial download.

White & Black are actually my most popular these days. Go for that. Can make some nice contemporary images with black.

I have multiple lights, they are JTL and others. Typically, I try to use one main, with a low fill and a hair light.

Our local yearbook does not like white or black for backdrops.
