The Essential Guide to Backdrops

So you're looking into purchasing a backdrop but don't know where to start, right? Well you've come to the right place. Here you’ll find a breakdown that explains our backdrops in detail to help you make the best decision when purchasing one of our backdrops.

Material

Our backdrops/floors are printed on premium water-resistant 16oz PVC giving you a durable, matte/opaque and flexible product that is very easy to hang or that you can lay absolutely flat on the floor. They are very durable, glare and wrinkle free. This thick, water-resistant material is easily cleaned with a damp sponge. These backdrops can be rolled for storage and are not affected by humidity. Here is a look at how thick the material looks close-up:

Size and Uses

All of the sizes offered are perfect for newborn photography! But as you go larger, you’ll see that the backdrop becomes more versatile. Here is a list of the sizes that you may find and the best uses for them:

4x4 ft & 5x5 ft

Shooting a newborn in a bucket, bowl, or box from directly above or slightly lower. This angle is great for capturing poses like the ones displayed:

These sizes are also good to be used in conjunction with another backdrop. For example using a wood backdrop as a floor and a plain texture backdrop as the wall.

5x7 ft & 6x7.5 ft

Great for newborns and all children’s ages. These backdrops are vertical which allows for a taller space! It is also great for taller props like tents, teepees, or our amazing Rustic Moon. See the example below:

5x8.8 ft & 6x9.8 ft

Great for any occasion including special events! It is large enough for adults and creates a larger than life effect for newborns and children.
