- Photographic backdrops and backgrounds are a key part of any image - they can make or break your photo. Choosing the right backdrop is crucial, but knowing which one is the best can be tricky.

To help you make the most of your image, I’ve outlined some key points to think about when selecting a background and included two DIY photography backgrounds that you can easily make yourself.
What backdrop is the best for photography?
Whether you’re photographing people or products, there is a wide range of photography backgrounds to choose from. From simple colors to mottled canvas, the sky is the limit. Different types of backgrounds include paper, fabrics such as muslin or canvas, MDF sheets, pop up backgrounds or coves (cycloramas), to name just a few.

Catching up in past videos. Top quality Karl.
Welcome back
Fantastic info as always, thank you!

Great video! What type of paints do you use on your mdf board ? Do you use a base layer of paint or sealer before applying paints? Thanks!
Remarkable lecture on the usually overlooked subject, whereas most people focus on the gadgets. The details explained are in itself a independent study material. The details of gloss and matte finish is my favourite. Many thanks for taking photography beyond camera gadgetry.
Glad it was helpful, you'll find the same standard in many of our other videos and an even higher standard on our site.
Very helpful! Thank you.
Interesting video not only from a technical standpoint but also from an artistic standpoint. Cheers!
Cheers
Thanks very much on your insights. As a complete novice on trawling through UA-cam for any ideas i can find, your's seem to be the most helpful. Im hoping to eventually make something of myself in this industry one day, pouring every penny and hour i can muster into it. Thanks again and any tips are always greatly appreciated.
Glad it was helpful!

Hi Karl!
Love how you explain everything in detail and give information selflessly. I wanted to what is the thickness you go for with MDF sheets?
Thank you. If I don't want them to bend I go with the thicker ones but I don't have a particular thickness that I know I use, it doesn't really matter.
Great as always. I think you are the best photography expert youtuber out there. I have one question though. In your 0:54 picture, my eye goes to the left highlight in the corner as that area is much brighter than the model. Was that choice intentional in order to create more volume or because of something that I am missing out in the “broader picture”? I am trying to figure that out. Thanks!
great video, such a lot of really helpful information, youre a really good educator
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the great info!
You're welcome

Very kind thank you.
Awesomeness
Great photos!

Hello. A little off topic: Do you macro or non-macro lenses? Great videos! Thanks!
Both
If you are looking for wood boards with "character", contact your local fence repair company to ask them for old worn out or damaged sections of wood fences. Most firms will be more than glad to give these pieces of wood away so that they won't have to dispose of them.
Once you receive those old pieces of fence wood then you can do anything you want with them. I like to cut them into 4 foot long pieces so they will fit across the back seat of my car when I am going out to a client's location. You can also sand them down, paint or stain them, etc.
Tip: here in the US, I buy new 8 foot long cedar fence boards from Home Depot stores then ask to have them cut to my 4 foot standard length. (You get 1 free cut per board.) Cedar fence boards are naturally full of character due to their being "rough cut". Each board costs about US $2.50 or so.

Cool
Great video! It was very informative and had great content. From USA.
Awesome! Thank you
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Hi Karl, another great video. At 8:33 the Prada bottle in powder, is there a tutorial or powder you used? Is it a clay? Or corn starch?
Hi Craig, it's a secret but if you're a member of Karl Taylor Education you can find out :)
@@VisualEducationStudio joined! Thanks Karl
Great thanks, I'll email you tomorrow when back at work with all the info you need.
Thank you So much
You're most welcome
ah... that mobile wall... i need it
Good content regarding different types of backdrops, but I didn't hear much if anything about "what type of backdrop is best for your photography". Still, it would make for a good drinking game - have a drink every time you hear the word juxtapose haha cheers mate!
Thanks for the great video.. i also happened to check out your course intro video...loved it...
Just wondering, is it completely free or are there any hidden charges... :)
We don't do 'hidden charges'! It's completely free.
Hey Karl!! Really nice your videos, thanks for that! I have a doubt about light meter... I haven't seen you using... When do you suggest use or not?? You dont use because you have experience and dont need anymore? I am a hobby photographer! Do you have any video explaining it? I tried to find in your videos, but I didn't get it!
Sorry to throw this at you Edi, but here's the best way of showing you why I don't use light meters www.karltayloreducation.com/class/measuring-light-and-achieving-correct-exposure/
is there any thing alternate to studio lights as they are too costly and take up lot more space in bedroom or elsewhere
Natural light
Hi Karl,
Do you offer or sell LR presets
Yes on our website
@@VisualEducationStudio thanks for the swift response but I also want ask if you have tutorials on the use of lightroom and photoshop to edit pictures.
Best regards.
Yes they are also on our website in the 'post production' section.
The only time I’ve heard someone say juxtaposed 4 times in 12 minutes :)
Ha yes I do get carried away but as that is the purpose of a background I thought I should make it clear!
How about using an old-fashioned projector screen, such as those meant for viewing slides of 8mm movies? They curl up taking little space, and come with a stand of their own, and can be transported by car. Using gels with your backdrop lights allows them to be coloured other than their pearly grey tone. I have saved one of those "in case I might need it some day".
Great content, you might want to try sign supply companies for some of your background base materials
Hi Yes they are a great resource I get all my acrylics and boxes from them
@@VisualEducationStudio In the States nearly everything you mentioned is available at sign supply companies and they deliver!
Thanks for the info, I wish we had that selection at sign companies in the UK but unfortunately not.
What, no links to your education site.
No not on this one, as you are probably aware all the videos we make for youtube serve us only in two ways. 1. as a marketing exercise to make people more aware of our main platform and draw them to our site, and 2. to offer some level of training (not our best training) to those who for whatever reasons can't afford our low month option but they will speak kindly of us for the free stuff we put out there. On this occasion I decided to try not putting any links from the comments to see if it improved our view count, we will always try and implement different options on our channel to see what works best and unlike many other YTubers we don't pretend otherwise.
@@VisualEducationStudio Thanks for the explanation. I am interested in a more in depth study of two topics you covered here on UA-cam, 1. Black and White conversions and 2. DIY Backdrops. Which of your courses should I purchase/take that will cover these topics more in depth. Thanks.
@@VisualEducationStudio Never mind, you can ignore my previous reply. I just watched your "Special Service Announcement" and wished I had watched it sooner, I just didn't know all of the educational resources you have available on your KarlTaylorEducation website and Facebook page. I'm signing up today and thanks.
Thank you.
I did something like this a month ago with plans from Woodglut.
