Five Types of Backdrop

• Canvas.
• Muslin.
• Seamless Paper.
• Vinyl.
• Chromakey.

Canvas Backdrop

• The first photography backdrops were made of
  heavy canvas, painted with classical designs.
• Canvas is a high quality choice because the cloth
  is free of glare.
• Many photographers use a large canvas as a
  backdrop in the studio and a muslin or other
  backdrop for shooting in other locations.

Muslin Backdrop

• Muslin is a versatile fabric for backgrounds
  because it can be used as a very neutral
  background or made to stand out, depending on the
  lighting.
• The major advantage of muslin is that it can be
  stuffed into a bag for easy transportation and
   muslin does not show wrinkles

5
Seamless Paper Backdrop

• Seamless paper is muslin's biggest competitor,
  especially in fashion photography.
• The advantage is that once it gets dirty, it is
  easily ripped off and a fresh sheet is pulled
  down.
• Paper is more reflective than cloth.

6
Vinyl Backdrop
Vinyl is a durable, flexible, sturdy
outdoor/indoor backdrop. It's water resistant and
is very easy to clean.
7
Chromakey Backdrop

• Backdrops of various materials are made in chroma
  key green and blue.
• Chromakey Backdrop are often made from a finely
  woven muslin.
