what is the best backdrop for a photography studio?
I am setting up a studio in my house and would like to know your opinions/advice on the best backdrop material? I have looked into muslin, paper and vinyl. Which is the most professional looking? I am only going to use one black and one white as its for babies and children. Thanks
also i have carpeted floor, would paper not be suitable?
Perki's pretty much nailed it. I use mostly muslin (needs ironing with a garment steamer before use if I want it wrinkle free). Occasionally use vinyl & have used paper.
What you need to remember with vinyl & paper is that if you intend to dismantle the backdrop & store the rolls then they have to be stored upright, so you need the height. If you store them lying on the floor, the weight of them will cause compression & you end up with a regular crease across them when you unroll again.
Also consider using a 18% grey - you can light it 1-2 stops over to get white, 3 stops under & its black plus its easy to gel any colour.
