are you asking about choosing a background, or how to light it?

Take any background and blast it with light so that a reflected light reading shows its intensity at +2.5EV greater than the incident light reading at the subject position

This guy is the king of doing it cheap. He has a video on how to get a large white background.

Teacher supply stores have large, wide rolls of paper used for bulletin boards. Get the "Fadeless" kind. They don't lose their color (or discolor) even after five or six years on my walls.

I can buy a helluva lot of windows blinds for the cost of Photoshop...

Yeah, He's got a pro studio but likes to play with stuff like that. You should see what he does with coffee cans.
