Hey guys, I'd like to pick up some black material to experiment with product photography. What should I get? Paint or, some kind of fabric? What would you recommend? Thanks.

Do you use just any black velvet you can find?

See below for a comparison to other 'black' materials in direct sunlight. It might be pricey though!
