Can this be done?

I'm trying to turn my room into a small studio.
At this moment I have no maney to buy a proper white muslin. So I'm thinking I'll flash my wall instead of using white muslin for the white background.
Below is a picture of my room.

I'm using 2 strobe.
1 at the black umbrella and another one on the floor on the left (photographer's view).

The second one is a picture with a model inside.

Yes sure I had no problem flushing it all white. But I really hope some pro would tell me if the flash will affect the picture in some ways.
Please point me some direction.

Distance between the wall and the handsome model is 2 feet.

Model: My roomate, Katak.
Wardrobe : Adidas.
Make up : bed and pillow ( he just woke up before I ask him to model for me for free).

Thank you Katak. . .

Distance from wall to model is too near.
Your room is too small.
You need more money and invest in proper studio.
Those lights flushing the background, will of course affect the model's lighting. No you don't want that.

I just wasted 1 whole hour in this thing!!

Don't try this when you only have a small room and want to pimp it into a studio for a full body shot.

It looks like you have pretty good results thus far. What are the actual dimensions of your room?

They make larger white board for the floor for about 10 - 12 bucks a sheet - less seams is good.

I see nothing wrong with trying to use what you have - It's just a matter of how patient you are - and maybe your PS skills.

Good luck!

You will need at least one light on the wall to turn it white. (looks like you can do that without any problems) Get your model far enough away from it that you don't get bleed over.

Use the 2nd light as your main light with a reflector opposite for fill. Basically a one light portrait although full body may be tough.

Yup I liked it so much that I bought it again and again. LOL
This is straight from camera as my intention is to learn how to do this the proper way using my small room.

Really. I think I needed 5 feet perhaps so that it will not create a bleed or wrap. The model is only about 2 feet.

I'm just trying this the first time and I really wanted to know whether you guys think this is much of a wrap
