Kate 5x7ft/1.5x2.2m Dark Backdrop Black Abtract Texture Portrait Photo Backgrounds Photography Studio Props

Great background. As usual from Kate. Not too thin not too thick. Was easily taped at the edges to stay put. Had a few creases I had to iron out but after that it stayed pretty nice in a bag. The wrinkles just become part of the design. was able to photograph 10 adult dancers with enough room to extend the background in post when needed.

Best backdrop I have purchased from anywhere and very soft material and easy to steam the wrinkles out before photo shots. Will buy more.

Good quality

I bought this backdrop while looking for a distressed patterned backdrop. After searching online and getting a good idea on how expensive these were, I came across this Kate backdrop on Amazon. After reading the good reviews for it, and seeing that it was loads cheaper on Amazon than on the official Kate Backdrop store, I bought one. The backdrop was a good thickness & weight - not sheer at all, slight reflective sheen to the surface (which I thought might be an issue but is not). I like the fact that it has a pole pocket on the top edge for mounting onto a backdrop stand. You can still hang the backdrop horizontally without using the pole pocket by using several jaw clips. After taking a few test photos, I noticed that the abstract background print is blurred out, giving a nice bokeh effect without actually needing to shoot wide open. I've shot with other backgrounds at the same F-stop, and you can see a lot less detail (like wrinkles!) with the Kate backdrop. In fact, I did not iron or put the new Kate backdrop in the dryer (a good fast easy trick for wrinkle removal) at all - just pulled the edges tight before clipping to the backdrop stands. No visible wrinkles in the shot at all. I would HIGHLY recommend the Kate Backdrop to anyone looking for a great backdrop at a great price. I'm even looking to get the other color variants of the grey & black one that I bought.

Perfect size for what I needed and perfect color. My headshots look professionally done with this backdrop. It does not come with anything to hang the backdrop though, so be advised. You will need to purchase that separately. You also will likely need to steam this backdrop to get the wrinkles from being folded out of it.

Needed a dark, moody backdrop for a musical director headshot and ordered this based on good reviews and great price. I couldn't be more pleased. The backdrop came well-packaged and folded pretty small, so there were some intense wrinkles. But those wrinkles came right out with very little time and effort using a quality fabric steamer. The pattern is well printed and gives a lot of flexibility for light or dark backdrop, depending on how much light you allow to hit it. The top rod pocket is generous, making it easy to install the backdrop on my stand. My other backdrops are larger and microfiber and I was surprised how easy it was to work with this 5x7 terry material. I bought this in gray and blue, and will probably order a brown as well.

NOTE to Kate - I would love your backdrops even more than 5 stars if you would put a pocket at the top and "bottom" of your backdrops. I know several reviewers are saying they reverse theirs so the pocket is at the bottom. If you were wondering Kate - it is so we can put a pole at the bottom to help keep the backdrop tight and straight. I am reviewing the 6.5x10ft Large Blue Backdrop (Retro Cyan). I had no problem washing an drying the backdrop - followed the instructions. I run several wool balls in my dryer - it came out fine, hung it and did not have to steam it at all. No wrinkles - love the look and feel of it. Would buy this again - seller was great. Yes it comes folded in a bag, Yes it is wrinkled when you take it out of the bag - not sure how some people thought they were going to receive it any other way. Follow the instructions, or reach out to the manufacture (their contact information is right at the top of the backdrop) if you need help or have questions. Don't iron. I plan on buying other colors from the same company,

This background cloth worked out great for what I needed! I would have liked it to be darker, but It was fine. I was able to take a professional photo of my daughter at home. I used this with a light I purchased on here as well. I used a canon Rebel T100 camera.

Très beau tissu ... Je l'ai utilisé pour un contrat ... je suis assez satisfait du fait que ça ne se froisse pas trop.

Muy bonito.

Great quality.. excellent picture background. Will order other design from them. 👍🏻☺️🌸 what you is what you get 😍

good background with a nice material ! you’ll need to be able to iron it and to have your own curtain rod to hang it up with !

I wasn't too sure what to expect from this backdrop. It's the first one I've ever bought. I got it for a school grad class shoot. It arrived folded and wrapped in plastic. When i opened it up, it was all creased. I checked the instructions and put it in the washing machine , dried it on delicate, and ironed it. It came out looking great. The loop at the top to run your crossbar through is great. No having to deal with clamps. The backdrop is thick and heavy enough to hang smooth. Im very pleased and will buy move kinds for sure.
