The Light Pro Seamless Background Paper Rolls come in a large selection of colours, offering photographers ultimate control over their studio backgrounds. Our range is designed to be crease resistant and are matte finished, allowing for maximum durability whilst providing a high quality final result.This backdrop is a 1.35m by 11m or a 2.72m x 11m roll, and works well with both Manfrotto and Light Pro brand background supports which will allow you to mount several rolls of paper on the wall, ceiling, or autopoles. They may then be wound up or down conveniently using an expanding core grip set. This seamless paper is usually used for theatrical sets, visual merchandising displays, in special event environments, and as photographic backgrounds, as the generous length allows for maximum subject to background separation.

Seamless Velvet Material Backgrounds (sold seperately)
Weight: Varies Very high quality non-woven mono-tone background with one-side flocking. This Velvet is versatile enough to fulfil a range of photographic needs, the specially designed crease-resistant velvet material eliminates the need for time-consuming steam ironing. Jet Black VelvetThis background is perfect for low-key style photography, absorbing light to give a deep rich black background. Remember to flag your lights and use egg-crate grids on your softboxes to reduce the light spill onto the velvet. With jet black velvet though, the way to make the black background black is by choosing the correct lighting and exposure to make it black. If it comes out grey, you're overexposing it. Try some negative exposure compensation. Don't forget that an camera exposure meter wants to try to make everything a mid grey tone, so if you have a lot of black background in your shot, the camera will indeed try to make it grey, this is where you'll want our sekonic 308s light meter to use. Our black velvet only reflects 4% of the light from a vertical surface, however a horizontal surface reflects far more, so you'll need to flag your lights to ensure that no light reaches the background, especially the horizontal parts. This will affect your light placement. Arctic White VelvetThis background is perfect for high-key style photography, the fibers spread the bright light around to make a perfect white background. Trick with this white velvet is to blow out the background by one to two stops more then your subject - so if your shooting your subject at F8 for example, hit the background with two background lights with our S-Type 45deg spillkills at F11 or F16 - these act like flags to stop the light from the background lights spilling out into the lens. And have your subject at least 2-3 meters in front of the background for the best shadow-less standing in white effect with very little post production needed. Chroma Key Green Screen VelvetThis background is perfect for Chroma style photography and video, absorbing light to give a deep rich Chroma Key Green Screen Velvet Background. It's the professionals choice everywhere, from broadcast HD TV stations all around Australia, down to the average small home studios. Creating a green screen composite image starts by photographing a subject in front of an evenly lit, bright, pure green background. The compositing process replaces all the green in the picture with another image, known as the background plate. With very little care of light placement - this velvet material is extremely easy to light up - the fibers in the velvet help shift light along the surface which gives you a nice clean chroma key with very little post production needed to do your cut outs with.
