Questions & Answers

Mary K : Hi, just received today. I am new to photography and don't want to damage this beautiful background. I noticed it has creases everywhere when opened. How should I remove these? Thanks in advance.EDWARD P : A steamer works great for thesePAUL L : Dear Mary, The quick way to remove the wrinkles is to open it up and steam it. Just make sure the steamer is clean and use distilled water. Another way to relax the wrinkles is to open it up and let it live in the bathroom while someone takes a hot steamy shower. That takes more time but does the same thing. Finally leave the background expanded until you need to travel with it, that way the folds will not be as deep. when you light it, try to avoid angular hard light, use softer direct light and use a shallow depth of field to keep it in soft focus. Hope that gives you some suggestions. They all worked for me.

Perfect for Business Portraits

I have used this background for location corporate portraits hundreds of times. It is very well made and I can find no faults with it at all. I use the grey side and the blue side and both look great in the final images. You can light the background with more or less light to change the luminance and look from dark to light. Highly recommended.

Perfect photo background system

Bought this background with a dedicated stand - system works well together, lightweight, seems durable and easy to work with. Background is larger that I expected when folded, but it is a LARGE background - I should have expected it to be pretty good sized!

Westcott offers many styles and colors of quality backgrounds that offer quick set-up and takedown for versatility and easy portability. We have both Collapsible Illuminator Backgrounds and sheet backgrounds. Both of these styles come in hand-painted muslin and Chroma-Key fabrics.
