You can buy foam core 'display' panels at most craft stores or just by sheets of foam core at Walmart and use tape to attach them so you can fold them and put them away. Then its just a matter of using a black cloth or sheet for the base. (or buy a sheet of black foam core)



The display panels are basically pre made, so will save you some work.



Foamcore for those who never heard of it, is basically two sheets of paper card with foam sandwiched between. Overall its about a quarter inch thick. You can cut it easily by scoring with an exacto knife.



Then there are diffuser boxes which help take out the harshness of a flash and lights which is different that just the background for a picture. These are usually white valium paper stretched around a frame to break up bright light to eliminate the harsh glare caused by lights or flash.
