Kate 5Ft(W) X7Ft(H) Brown Abstract Photography Backdrop Texture Microfiber Old Master Backdrop Professional Head Shot Portrait Photo Background Review

Nice texture, easy to use, wrinkle free and very easy to light. There is nothing in them not to like and there is everything to love.

The illuminated areas of the image are somewhat misleading. The stuff doesn't look like it, but with a good lens and some bokeh (like at 200mm f2.8) the stuff looks really good. You'll also need a remote flash from the camera behind you, aimed at the background.

I see no reason to include "black" in the description. There is NO visible black and it definitely doesn't look like the picture on the sales page. Others complained about the same issue but I had my hopes as another backdrop I bought from them was great. This is a COMPLETE error.

Far from black, but light grey! I'm very annoyed because I had shooting schedules this week! I don't understand because I bought another textured brown backdrop from Kate and it was amazing they actually turned it down. Not sure if I will buy more backgrounds from them after that 😒

I like it very much. this is my first background. The quality of the material is polyester and I have no problem with it. It's a little shiny but that wasn't a problem for me as it has dyed color variations so it wasn't a problem. I can't comment on the transparency because I put it on my frame against a wall with no windows. I can't see through the background of the TV and the image behind it when looking at it from the front of a sunlit room.

I am satisfied with the quality of this background and it serves its purpose perfectly. It doesn't crease after a single wash (as promised) and takes beautiful pictures without drawing attention to itself. I roll it up and store it in a shipping tube. The ONLY thing I don't like about this background is that it's a fuzzy and "blurry" magnet, but that's easily remedied with a lint free brush/roller to handy. This is always a good tool to have on hand for a photographer. Highly recommended.

Now I have three of these 5x7 backgrounds, blue, brown and grey. Wrinkles were very easily removed with a handheld steamer and distilled water. All edges are sewn to prevent tangling and there is a large pleat at the top edge for easy sliding onto a backdrop stand. The surface of the fabric is very soft, similar to velvet. Non-reflective and ideal for backgrounds. I have all three in the small holdall that comes with the bag that contains the Julius Studio backdrop stand. Very portable and easy
