Or where I can get something like this for my studio. It looks like muslins used in portrait studios. I like how it's used for fashion...something different from seamless.

It's probably a painted canvas. Muslins are just large bedsheets.

It's just a dyed muslin background. Looks exactly like one of the ones I have, which I bought from The Set Shop here in NYC. It might be a Denny, I don't remember.


EDIT: On a tangential note, I don't know about you, but I would never buy a canvas or muslin background without seeing it in person and opening it up. A lot of them are hand dyed and they vary from one to the next. I like something mottled, but not too splotchy or contrasty.

I'm sure it is muslin, not canvas.

Any chance it's seamless with a texture applied in post?

EDIT:

Scratch that, just saw the full-length.

It looks like ralph lauren suede paint, but it might be cloth there are some ripples in the floor.

I notice that the European photographers seem to use this type of background more than seamless. Thanks for the links and ideas.
