Any professional or serious amateur photographer will need a backdrop sooner or later. Photo backdrops come in handy for any number of projects, including portraiture and product photography. With the expense of cameras, lenses, lighting, tripods, reflectors and other accessories, many photographers look for ways to save a few bucks. Making your own studio backdrops is one of the easiest ways to stretch your photography budget.

Use the measuring tape to find the amount of fabric you will need to make your back drop. Measure the height from the ceiling or backdrop pole to the floor. Then measure the floor from front to back of your shooting area. Add these two numbers together to find the length of muslin you need. You may also want to measure the width of your shooting area to find the width of muslin you'll need.
2Purchase the muslin you need from a fabric store. You may want to purchase a little more than you need to allow for mistakes in cutting. Wash and dry the muslin.
3Spread the muslin out on the floor and use the scissors to trim the edges as straight as possible.
4Use the measuring tape to measure the muslin. Use a pencil to mark your measurements.
5Cut off excess muslin using your scissors.
6Run the no-sew fusible tape along the entire length of one of the long edges.
7Fold the muslin over the tape to create a sharp edge.
8Iron the fold to fuse the tape to the fabric.
9Run the fusible tape, fold and iron the other edge.
10Fold five inches of the top edge backward to create the pole pocket for your backdrop pole.
11Run the fusible tape along the front edge and iron.
12Hang your new photo backdrop from the backdrop pole. A backdrop pole is simply a pole from which to hang your studio backdrops. They often come with stands to support the pole and allow you to set them up anywhere. They are available at most photo supply shops and from many Internet stores.
13Pull the muslin at the front of your shooting area forward until the backdrop creates a slight curve to hide the corner where the wall and floor meet.

ReplyDeleteGuess what? This is exactly what major companies are paying for. They need to know what their average customer needs and wants. So large companies pay millions of dollars each month to the average person. In return, the average person, like me, answers some questions and gives them their opinion.
Did you know that regular people are making $250 to $750 for a minute of their time just voice recording on a computer?
