How to Choose a Good-Looking Background Cloth?

Feb. 18, 2021

Inside the flat industry often have friends and some peers ask, I should choose what kind of background shooting will be better, the current choice of conventional background cloth is: felt cloth and polyester fiber.

Polyester fiber has a high strength and elastic recovery, so it is firm and durable, wrinkle-resistant and non-iron. Its light resistance is better, in addition to worse than acrylic, its sunlight resistance is better than natural fiber fabrics, especially behind the glass is very good sunlight resistance, almost on par with acrylic. In addition, polyester fabric good resistance to a variety of chemicals, acid, alkali damage to its degree is not large, while not afraid of mold, and not afraid of insects.

What is called a good background fabric?

The first point: the applicability of the background fabric is wide, such as pure white, with what color clothes can be.

The second point: the public's acceptance of the background color, where the background cloth in line with these two is good background cloth. Since the above is the conventional background cloth selection, then there must be unconventional background cloth options, such as these: blankets, wood floors, floor tiles.

Here to explain, flat-shooting is not only limited to the shooting of clothes, shoes, hats and bags can be called flat shooting.

How to choose the background cloth for flat shooting?

The choice of background cloth is divided into about three kinds: 

  1. Pure color colored background (pure white, pure grey, pure red).

  2.  Pure color colored background with a little mechanism.

  3. Pure color colored or mixed color with a strong mechanism background.

For different objects, should choose a different background cloth, rather than uniformly use pure white (except for some large stores rigid requirements), the photographer should have their own aesthetic, that is, have their own thinking.

 

So some people will ask, there is no general direction of the choice of background cloth, the answer is yes, the general spring and summer models of the background cloth color selection suitable for a little clean, refreshing, such as conventional pure white, light gray (a look at the eye up is white, in fact, not pure white, which can be called light gray) or light light light blue (this I do not recommend the large-scale use, large-scale use will allow guests to store the impression of a change. Here is a good illustration, light blue background on the cold side, the guests look brushed down feeling cold not very good). And autumn and winter models pay attention to the temperature, heavy, with coffee, khaki background cloth will be better, so it looks like giving people a warm feeling.
