Little Wet Dog Photography

This article will summarize a few of the best photography backdrop suppliers and sites which I have found in my professional photography career.

As always, little wet dog photography will do the digging on photographer gear so you don’t have to. We dig out the deals, sniff out the sales, and post our reviews. Your time is better spent shooting pictures and not trying to figure out which equipment to use!

• Aura Backdrops offers great selection at reasonable prices.
• The Backdrop Outlet offers a free copy of their printed catalogue you can have sent to your home. In additional they offer an extensive selection. Currently they are running a sale for 30% of on March 31st 2008.
• Boss backdrops offers a unique selection of space backdrops. In addition they offer wrinkly free backdrops which is suppose to be better than muslin. Finally, they have a selection of backdrops which can be turned upside down – like pink on top and purple on the bottom and upside down.
• Adorama also offers backdrops at fair prices – but in all honesty I have had horrible customer service experience with them before so I would never buy another product from them.
• Full line of back drops by Adorama here 
• Adoroma also offers discount muslin backdrops at huge discount savings via their overstock program. Muslin backdrops which were normally $59.95 are now discounted to $39.95. That is quite a bargain.
• Bizrate also offers backdrops but I think they are only a drop shipper.
• Alzo Digital offers a unique 6ft by 7ft backdrop in various colors. They have what is called a “Twistflex background panel” which comes with different colors on each side. You can quickly twist the backdrop into shape and pack away – great for on site interviews, small offices, or mobile photographers. Great for portable backdrop set up and take down if you don’t want the hassle of a full rig to lug along. They also provide a metal frame and zippered case.
• Another interesting company is Grosh, established in 1995. They offer clients the chance to rent backdrops for any occasion – any I mean any occasion. They have space themes, fantasy, European streets, Christmas, china, retro… you get the message.
• And for the wider look you can go with Horizontal Backgrounds – and they also offere vinyl backgrounds in gradated tone.
