Envy for the high-profile campaigns shot appearing in Vanity Fair, Vogue or the painterly-look portraits by recognized photographers like Annie Leibovitz and Sue Bryce? Would it be surprising if I pointed out that the hand-painted canvas backdrops behind the photography played an essential role? Have you ever wondered why they choose hand-painted canvas backdrops for their works?
As is known to all, a backdrop really makes a great difference in photography. A proper backdrop will not only improve your photography, but also save you from the annoying post-processing. Among seamless paper, muslin backdrop, vinyl backdrop, printed canvas backdrop and the hand-painted canvas backdrop, why it is the hand-painted canvas backdrop? The following part will show you.
- Unique Texture
Taking the specially-designed canvas as raw material, hand-painted canvas backdrop can easily hold dyes, paints, and oils. Delicately painted by expert artists, the backdrop is 100% handmade. Therefore, each backdrop is totally unique in texture. The multiple layers and textures of the paint also endow the backdrop with depth and tonality, which you can never achieve with any other printed backdrops. Moreover, the hand-painted canvas backdrop gives the photo a much more vibrant and quite richer appearance due to the reflective muti-layered surfaces. That’s why the movie-star or fashion photos appear to be high-profile and super stunning.
- Durability
Hand-painted canvas backdrop is painted on purpose-made canvas. The linen part of the material provides the backdrop excellent quality of wear-resistance. The specially-designed mixing proportion in the canvas enables a strong adhesion to the oil paints. Taking CLOT hand-painted canvas backdrop as an example, each piece of the canvas includes four layers to realize the functions of no-deformation, leak-prevention and oil-adhesion, along with the anti-mildew and anti-cracking properties. With proper maintenance and storage, a long-term backdrop solution can be guaranteed by all these unique features of hand-painted canvas backdrop.

There are indeed many cases in which a photographer needs to transport the backdrop to different shooting locations. As a headshot photographer, you may frequently visit the clients where they work. There is definitely no nice portrait background and you should take your props and backdrop with you. Hand-painted canvas backdrop can be customized in various size.
