The background could be a blank wall, a washing machine, or the background could be blurred out with the camera or photoshopped. Or, turn off the lights so that the room is dark and hold a flashlight over Destro and his mask.. play with the shadows for a mood.

The point is, if you don't have a lot to work with don't let it stop you. Go for the minimalist art look. Make it visual poetry.

What I'm sure about is your first pictures will suck when you will go back a further and do a comparison. Same happens to everyone, even the greatest of us all, Craig, had that going =).
