Backdrop material
Aug 29, 2018 09:26:47 #
My daughter had a steam device she uses to remove wrinkles from her drapes/curtains. We used that and it removed wrinkles and creases from my backdrop material.

Use a steamer - they are used for draperies, bedding etc. Guys! No domestic education!

[quote=Haydon] My only issue with velour is the price and default width.
A less expensive alternative to velvet is a material called "Penne". It's very similar in appearance but about half the price of velvet...it's around $4-5 a yard, comes in widths up to 60", has a nice 'look' and 'draping ability' so it works for many photo purposes. I have found nice colors in grey, black, and my favorite, a red/burgandy....that looks real 'rich'. Actual velvet is about twice the price..in the $10 range.
I've found a good selection at JoAnn's Stores...but other large suppliers will have this fabric, too...

Put them individually in the washer cold water only no detergent after they spin dry hang them over a shower curtain. If a rack came with them spread it out, raise it as high as it will go and drape them over it. Good luck

These are cheap and not worth bothering with.
For truly wrinkle free, use paper or vinyl. The 53" rolls are somewhat portable, and you can combine two rolls with some gaffers tape to make a wider backdrop. I cut sheets that are long enough, and then hang them with overlap. Easy to clean up the seam in post.
I also use collapsible backdrops for head/torso shots.
And I have a number of larger Muslin backdrops. These do wrinkle, so a portable steamer helps.
There are some wrinkle free materials, but they are expensive. Check Denny and Westcott.

Why go to all that trouble. For 20 bucks you can get a steamer that you can use for lots of other things too.

Try Downey wrinkle releaser in the blue spray bottle, works well on most materials. Follow directions on container, you can get it at Walmart.
