Shooting Handbags for a new company

[300dTrue]

I got called in from a good friend of mine which is involved with marketing, and he asked me if i could do this job for him.I accepted and now im here to ask you a couple of questions.
I have to take shots of handbags, that will later be put in a web site.
So which do you think is the best way to do this, to later avoid any cutting out the background, i d like to achieve a nice clear whitish background.
Thanks

Hello,
I think we might need a little more info. Camera? Lighting set up? Do you photoshop? These will help give a more informed reply.
thanks

Check out the Cubelite from http://www.lastolite.com/ comes in different shapes and they also sell a package with lights too.

I have a canon 300D, and im asking what do you think the best setup would be, im thinking of setting up some white boards, and have some direct light shooting on them to reflect on the handbag..if you have any advice on how to do this it would be great, im trying it first thing tomorrow morning soill keep yuou updated

Get a sheet of white 30X40" cardboard, cove it (bend it into a J), & put the handbag at the bottom. 9' white paper would be better, so you could get the bag away from the part hanging down. If you're having trouble visualizing that, I'm putting a pic below that would be shadowless if the lighting was brighter.
Maybe I'll do a tutorial, but it will be too late to help.

Thanks for posting your set up, since im new to this type of photography I always appreciate seeing the set up in photos rather then read a discription.

The pics came out great 300D......nice work.
