Where can I find this backdrop?
All I can find are those fold out ones that have no floor.  Dec 09 14 08:34 am Link I don't think it is a backdrop - probably a real building. Dec 09 14 08:38 am Link Looks like the back of roll linoleum. Try your local home improvement store, and look at the back of the linoleum choices they carry. Dec 09 14 08:39 am Link Funny -- it looks like a bunch of carpet remnants to me. Try a carpet warehouse. Dec 09 14 08:59 am Link I agree it looks like sheet vinyl. It typically comes 12' wide but some in 6' and is cut to any length you want (unless it is pre-cut rolls). Some places price it per square yard, some square foot, and other by the lineal foot. 9 SF to 1 SY in case you forgot so a piece 12'x20' would be 26.67 SY Dec 09 14 10:32 am Link Some photographers buy and and paint it flat white for use as a basic backdrop. The more expensive varieties can be very heavy and all of it has to be rolled, not folded, since it will kink and crease. Dec 09 14 10:35 am Link The Next Cliche wrote: You could be right. They obviously had to extend the width to fit their format by cloning on the right side. Dec 09 14 10:58 am Link cloning was done on both sides, i doubt its a real building.

Dec 09 14 12:08 pm Link I agree, that it is probably not a real building. The bottom curves up to the vertical, just like a studio backdrop does. I would go with linoleum. Bad cloning job, by the way, (you shouldn't be able to tell it was done). -Don Dec 09 14 12:10 pm Link Don Garrett wrote: Actually I think that it is more likely a real stone surface than a background. If the original shot was made using a cloth backdrop or other material they would have probably fabricated the set to be WIDER at the outset considering the referenced shot was pulled from an lookbook shoot of literally dozens of shots. I would have thought if they had the control of the set they would have fitted it to layout instead of baking in the requirement for retouching for numerous shots. Dec 09 14 02:19 pm Link Do this... Get a white backdrop...take many pairs of dirty shoes, and start walking over the white background...how wonderful it is! Dec 09 14 02:36 pm Link Makes me think of the Grace Building in NYC. Dec 09 14 03:51 pm Link It looks like it could be concrete ground smooth. Not polished, just ground so the contour is smooth. But maybe it is polished.

That could be one way to recreate the concrete curved background. Dec 10 14 02:55 pm Link Where is the image from? Dec 10 14 03:42 pm Link |
