Velvet backdrops are a popular choice for both personal and professional photographers. Velvet is a versatile material that provides the perfect backdrop for any photo shoot. Velvet has been around since the 1600s, but it wasn’t until recently that it became more widely used in photography. Velvet backdrops can be made at home with some simple sewing skills and items found at your local craft store (with patience). The following 3 tips will help you make velvet backdrops:
- Use an inexpensive fabric like cotton or polyester to sew the background.
- Sew elastic into one of the corners so that you can easily hang your backdrop on a rod without having to worry about pins.
- Iron your fabric before cutting and sewing. Velvet can be difficult to sew, but ironing the fabric beforehand will help keep it flat and smooth while you’re working.
In conclusion, Velvet backdrops are a great option for photographers looking to add some simple textured backgrounds into their work. Velvet looks particularly good with black and white photography but can be used in other styles as well.
