Photographic Background Grey Backdrop

Smick — Sun, 20 Jun 2010 16:49:49 +0000

A grey backdrop you may ask what use is it, well the grey backdrop is the most versatile photographic backdrop you can get. You can obviously keep it grey but you can also make it black, would you believe that you could also make it white and if you can make it white then you can make it any colour you like.

Don’t believe me just look at this video, as if by magic Gavin Hoey uses our grey cotton muslin backdrop to do just that, he is using strobist techniques and our strobist softbox but the same technique can be used with any photography lighting including continuous lighting and studio flash .

We also have Gavin Hoey videos in our Tutorial category

We have just launched our premium studio lighting bag / case, this is a soft bag with rigid sides and reinforced corners. It has wheels and a handle on top for easy transportation and its big. Its well padded and has internal dividers that attach with Velcro and has two large pockets on the front.

The quality on this case is superb and is ideal if you want to pack redhead lighting, studio flash or continuous lighting, its big enough even to accomodate lightstands. A case of this quality from a well known brand would cost over £100.00 more than this.
