I like the capture very much, seems to me if your going to do portraiture then you would want an arsenal of background back drops
that is true, Tresillian. You can purchase a number of dark and white colour fabrics in a thicker silk blend and attach it with velcro to a bar of wood (or other material) on the wall. The velcro would be on both the fabric and the wood bar. This works great...an old photographer told me this trick. You can tighten the fabric at the floor level to keep it taut.
OMG! You just made my day! =]
If you're in a pinch, you can always go buy a high-thread count flat sheet to use as a plain white backdrop. King size would be largest. You'll have to wash and dry it, just take it out of the dryer immediately to minimize wrinkles or just iron it well.

You could also get a solid black sheet as well.

You typically use a Muslin, there are many companies that sell backdrops ready to go, or you can get muslin at a fabric store. Here are some links to where you can buy backdrops.

It's not always about the backdrop Light is more Important! U can use a gray paper background and colored gels on lights and get any color you want. Cloth backgrounds such a muslin and slik belds add texture which is nice also! But even if u buy a white backdrop it wont be pure white unless you have two stops more light on the back than on the subject!
