I'm ignorant of this use of the word "Sweep". Looks like you've made a background support for photographing small objects...? I've been active in photography for more than 6 decades and never heard of a "sweep". Clue me in, please?

This is neat .You can do the same thing with PVC and two 90 degree angles. I did this to shoot pictures of rocks and small animals in the wild. I also made a light box from PVC . Also you can use heavy sheets (Single size)as a background. Light will penetrate the sheets to help with lighting.
