I like black :-) it lets you focus on the subject, not the background. I also ignored people who warned me that playing solo instrumental guitar is deadly boring to most :-) However, I've been playing around with using white lately, for that Apple ad look. Someday I'll get that down. I'm shooting a bunch of videos with Steve Baughman right now where we're using my studio, which is both mostly red, and much more cluttered looking, and it's turning out interesting in its own way. In any case, the studio portrait look may not be appropriate for someone trying to pitch a live show - I imagine what most venues would most like to see is lots of people lined up at the cash register.
