Background
I sell bed sheets, I usually get product images with complete bed room set, while I wanted just bed sheet digital print image that I can use in any bed room mockup, to test different angles.
I hanged bed sheet (like backdrop) with couple of home-made soft lights, however the end result is not good.
Questions
- Is this a normal way to create fabric's image?
- Any suggestion how to improve this picture? lighting, iso/aperture etc
- Any cost-effective way to get low cost frame that could hold this bed sheet (to avoid wrinkles)

How much space I've in front of my subject I've placed my tripod around 10' away
Solved
Thanks everyone, I've applied suggestions from all of you gentlemen;
- Iron the bedsheet
- Placed 2 Softlight Boxes high above my shoulder, behind tripod
- Used custom made, wooden frame 10'x8', used PVC C-Channel at 3-sides to hold the bed sheet. There is a room to further improve this shot, that is, adding fourth PVC C-Channel, so that it can be stretched evenly, rightnow its over-stretched at 4th side.
- Color corrected in Photoshop and removed stains with heal tool
- Took several shots to find best exposure, aperture and ISO, used Matrix Metering
- Winner Shot details
