Hi Dave, I use muslin, its cheaper for one. I have this lady who makes custom muslin & canvas backgrounds to any colour/design you wish. She'll also make it in any size, a buddy just had one made thats 15m X 8m. It covers a class of 40 pupils standing and seated in 3 rows.
I don't have to care too much for it as you just squash it back into the bag. Paper gets dirty real fast unless you buy that coated one, but I shoot mostly kids and they tend to be able to destroy anything in no time at all. Sides I like the crinkels in the background. Velvet is pretty cheap if you buy it from a fabric store instead. And it gives a very nice effect Feroze ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Chang-Sang" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, June 11, 2003 11:39 PM Subject: OT: Seamless Paper or Muslin? > Hi everyone, > > I'm curious, for those who use backgrounds, which do they prefer and why; > seamless paper or muslin? > > I've been considering purchasing a background for myself for portrait and > full body work but now I have a suspicion that seamless paper may be more > convenient and, in the long run, more versatile. > > Any and all comments and input welcome and appreciated. > > Cheers, > Dave > > >
