But please remember that vinyl can never be washed by water or be folded! You can choose to make the backdrop lying flat in your cabinet, or roll it up and store in the shipping PVC tube.
Canvas
When it comes to canvas, the first thing that would be mentioned is painting. Dyes, paints, and oils can be held easily by this fabric. Because of this, canvas is quite suitable for hand-painting without absorbing or blurring.

Also, most of the time backdrop needs to be extended onto the floor for the model to stand and move. If your backdrop is not long enough, a rubber floor mat can be a good assistant, which will add extra good effects to your final works.
Floor mats are usually digital printed and feature a thin thickness, making the patterns high-definition and realistic. It is convenient to walk on and roll up, easy to carry and store. Size usually range from 4 x 5ft（1.2×1.5m）to 5×8ft（1.5×2.5m).
What Size of Backdrops Should I Choose
Now you are planning to start or upgrade your studio, or just want a mini-session in your house. However, you may hesitate which size of backdrops to choose when ordering, that perfectly fits your requirements and style. Or you’re just not sure if the space you have is realistically big enough.
Different occasions mean changes in backdrop size! Selecting proper backdrops can not only match the size of your subjects and spaces, but also add personality and aesthetic feelings to your sessions.
To anticipate which size can work well for your shooting, here are 3 principles for reference when choosing backdrop size:
-
Size of Your Studio -
Size of Your Subject(s)
-
Size Range of Backdrops
Size Of Your Studio
When choosing backdrop size, it's important to figure out the size of your studio first. Backdrop size should fits your studio to look both practical and aesthetic.
You need to measure 3 significant factors of your studio: Depth, Width, and most importantly, Ceiling Height. Accurate size measuring of these 3 factors will offer both primary and essential reference for you when choosing backdrop size. Here, we take sizes that can be applied in the most common occasions (e.g. Full length body shots）as a baseline.
【Please note: The following size references are relatively the most cost effective recommendations. If your studio/space is big enough, you can choose any backdrop size you want.】
The Limitation of Ceiling Height
The most important limitation of a studio is the ceiling height. You need to consider whether the height is enough for both setting a backdrop while implementing a ceiling light & a hair light when you begin your work.
First of all, in order to set lights above the model （5.5ft—6 .5ft tall when he or she is standing) , it requires at least another 4 ft height over the head of model.
By summarizing above, we can conclude that you need at least a 10-12 ft ceiling height. For this ceiling height of your studio can deal with the most of cmmon occasions, and that also means your backdrops there can be applied for full length body shots, headshots, waist shots, half-length shots 3/4-length portraits, etc.
Measuring Depth
Depth is also need to be precisely measured before choosing a backdrop. You need nearly 1.5ft - 3ft (0.5m - 0.9m) of space between your subject and the backdrop, in order to get the subject far enough from the backdrop so it doesn't cast a shadow and leave enough space for possible ornaments or equipment.
Sometimes there is necessary that you need your backdrops extended onto the floor. Your model can lie or sit on it while you can shoot from various perspectives. Or you can add some ornaments and the extended part of your backdrop can perfectly merge into the whole background. Precise measuring can help you choose the right height of the backdrops you need.
Or just use a rubber floor mat to match the background! Our rubber floor mat have 4x5ft(1.2x1.5m) and 5x8ft(1.5x2.5m).You will always need that!
Space for your subject
After measuring the size of your space, then you need to consider the size of your subject(s) and your sessions. How many people will you shoot? How will your model(s) pose? What kind of compositions and shots you need? The answers of these questions will eventually decide the width of your backdrops.To figure out what your session needs is always the most direct way to help you choose correct backdrop size.
Kate Backdrop are available in multiple sizes – standard widths of 3ft, 5ft, 6.5ft, 8ft, 10ft and 20ft. You’ll be able to shoot big to small to everything in-between. Also, we are specializing in customizing even larger size according to your requirements.
For example, for kids, headshots, 3/4 -length portraits, you will need at least 5ft of width for a background, at least 1ft on both sides for the backdrop to extend beyond the edges. So you may need 7ft in total for a single portrait. And if your model needs to lie on the floor or you are planning family or holiday sessions, you will need more width. Usually, 10 ft wide is a good choice.
Conclusion:
Ceiling height & Depth of Studio —— (Determines) —— Height of Backdrop
Space for your subject(s) —— (Determines) —— Width of Backdrop
Please Remember:
It is always safest to order a backdrop that is too large rather than too small, as it is much easier to crop an image than try to digitally extend the background. According to the standard we mentioned above, 6.5ft×10ft, 8ft×10ft, 10ft×10ft (Width×Height) is enough for most of regular sessions.
Also, we are specializing in customizing even larger size according to your requirements. There is no limit to the size range.

After setting up the background stand system, now you can fix your amazing backdrops on it and start photography. But please remember, wrong operations may do harm to your backdrops. We suggest that some essential accessories will help you.
Use Backdrop Clips or Clamps
If there is no pocket on the top of your backdrop, which means you can’t directly fix your backdrops on the stand without accessories. Or, if you need to start your sessions in small space or on-location, which means your equipment needs to be in flexible use according to requirements, here is a nice assistant for you, which can always work like a charm. That is—— Backdrop clamps!
Here are two classical types for your information:
Backdrop Clips
Backdrop clips are extremely useful in positioning and gripping your background. They’re consisted of metal clips and environmental protection reinforced nylon rope. They are small but durable. They can support any size of fabric backdrops.
Each steel spring clip is light-weighted but durable. They are small but efficient, with high strength. When you use backdrop clips, you will always need a set of them, like 6pcs or 12pcs. Only one or two can not function very well.
Backdrop Clamps
Backdrop Clamp is made of steel and rubber. It is bigger than clip and it can clamp thicker, heavier things or large size backdrops. It can firmly keep your drops in place.
It features high strength and good elasticity. The edges of clamps are wrapped with soft rubber, which can avoid damaging your backdrops. Backdrop clamps are convenient and quick, you need only one or two at a time to set your backdrops. However, it is not flexible as clips.
How To Use
1.Simply strap them onto one upright of backdrop stand, clip them on the side of backdrop, and then pull the rope to make the background tight.
2. Use clips to hold backdrop straight, in order to avoid the wrinkles when you set or replace the backdrops during the sessions.
3. Set clips at the bottom of the stand to accommodate the backdrop near parallel to the ground.
4. Adjust the clips according to the on-location circumstance and strap them to the stand or somewhere you need.
Clean & Store
Without correct maintenance solution, backdrops may last no long. Therefore, knowing how to store and clean properly is quite important.
Some backdrops are machine washable, some require just sponge cleaning and others are expendable. Some can be folded but some must be rolled or flattened to store. Different types of backdrops require different maintenance methods.

Avoid Treading with Shoes
Unless there are requirements, you shall try to avoid walking on the backdrop with your shoes (except models). Clean your shoes or think over walking on your backdrops. If necessary, we recommend removable shoe covers which can be reused, or purchase a Rubber Floor Mat to match with your backdrop.
Put Backdrops in A Dryer on Low-heat.
Some types of fabric backdrops can be dried by dryer, according to the care labels. Please turn the dryer on low-heat and follow the instructions on the backdrops’ care labels for what settings to choose. Dry the curtains for about 20 to 30 minutes.
