Kate Blue Photography Backdrops Abstract Photo Backdrop Poratrait Background for Photoshoot, 5x7ft

The backdrop arrived with some serious wrinkles, but they ironed out for the most part.I had originally set it up on a stand in front of some windows and it was very difficult to see the color due to light passing through from the back. As you can see in my image, it appears washed out.Of course this has little effect on the final image if you're using a strobe, but it does make it difficult to see the actual color while you're composing/shooting.I resolved the situation by putting a black background behind it.Great value! and based on my experience with this, I have already ordered more Kate Backdrops.

This isn't a true red, it's more of a burnt orange or orange/red color. Once pressed it's nice and gets the job done nicely. All of Kate's backgrounds are of nice quality and chances are you'll be more than satisfied with this purchase.

Kate makes great quality and this orange one has a nice subtle transition from center to edges. I got orange because I already have the usual standard backgrounds for headshots and wanted something bright to use for models wearing bold colors or for photographing food or fire.I've bought a few Kate backgrounds and I love that the large hem and that on the back of the hem they print a small picture of what the background is. That's very handy if you have a box full of folded backgrounds to be able to quickly find what you're looking for. I hope they introduce more options and more subtle patterns and smoother transitions. 'm not a fan of some of the patterns on some of the other colors. The orange is a great background to have to spice up your photos.

This one is nice but look at the top to photos for the "dark cyan". They are way different! Even the patterns are different and in person, more subtle. It's very nice though. On the web, one is very gray and the other a muted cyan. In person it's more of a paler blue. I bought 2 other patterns originally and loved them, ordered more, got them and ordered more! LOL! I now have nine! They are all very pretty & folds steam out quite easily. Quality is inconsistent. Four don't match the color or brightness of the samples. Two each had a vert small white blotch where the pattern was missing - easily photoshopped if it even shows. Three were not sewn straight, causing them to not hang perfectly straight. Of those, one is off enough to need replacing because even clips and weights can't make it hang straight. One had the tag fall off because wasn't sewn on right, which is no big deal, but speaks of the inconsistent sewing issues. Two had edges that had some extra on them where it wasn't cut straight - but that is minor, not causing issues but again speaks to quality control. Based on the above, they're actually very pretty & the two I've used so far did photograph very nicely. Because of the sample shots here being off in color and brightness, I did end up with some that are very similar in coloring, but they're all so pretty and the price was so good that they're definitely worth keeping, and I can always pair them to use one for the backdrop and a matching one for the floor to give me a full sweep/ :) Overall, I'm so excited to have such a nice variety of background options! Amazon is good about replacing them if any defect is bad enough to have to go back. I'll only buy them from Amazon because if you buy direct from kate, they'll only take returns for defects, so if you don't want two similars that looked different in the photos on line, but were actually close in color in person, then you're stuck. The pricing on Amazon is way less too. I tried to email "Kate" with a question about the color being off, but they didn't bother to read my email and just sent a canned response that was irrelevant to my question. So customer service is lacking as well as quality consistency, but they really are very pretty and the ones I've used so far have photographed very nicely and are a great value for the money on the 5x7s.

I have bought a few backdrops now and most are on the low budget. The backdrop from Kate is nice and the wrinkles come out super easy with just a steamer.

This was the backdrop chosen for our photos after ordering 2 different backdrops. This backdrop was a good contrast to the white dresses worn for the photo opp. Our brown skin looked fabulous with this backdrop.Negative issue was that it arrived very wrinkled. I had to go over with an iron with a damp cloth several times before most of the wrinkles came out. I would still buy it again.

I have a small home studio and use 107" seamless. I decided that I'd like to use printed backdrops for a few projects so I bought this Kate backup to try as it was so affordable. I liked the look of it when I took it out of the bag it came in. The colors were what I expected, the quality was more than I expected and it has a sewn top that my backdrop bar easily slides through to hold it.It was creased from having been folded for shipping, so I ironed it as per Kate's direction. Didn't help at all. Then I washed it and put it into the dryer on low as per the instructions on the website. No help. Then I put it on my stand for over a week. Nope. Finally I used a tip I found on YouTube and used a spay bottle to wet the creases. Then, as a last resort, I put it back into the dryer on high heat. It worked! It's not perfect, but its certainly good enough. It also helps that in addition to hanging it, I have used A clamps from my backdrop stand to the cloth to stretch it out horizontally.One last note... When I just couldn't get the wrinkles out, I sent a note to Kate's through their website. That was a week ago and no response.

I'm very impressed with the quality of this backdrop for $19. It's made for years and make my pictures outstanding. Get the large backdrop right away.

All Kate backdrops are good! As a photographer they are my go to.

I wasn't expecting this backdrop to be so thick! It's perfect! Great quality, it has a spot at the top to put the bar through the top or it can be hung by hooks. The colour looks just like the picture; Great thickness, can't see through. If you're going to iron it, iron on the white side, or steam it to get out folding lines. The 5×7 is perfect for children and baby photography.

It is well made and was easy to get the wrinkles from shipping out in the dryer. I would buy this brand again and did by a few version after this one.

Color is off and faded, almost has a gray scale look
