This collapsible set is made of a polyester fabric stretched on a steel frame to create a smooth surface for consistent and even lighting.

This 6-in-1 background set provides a selection of backgrounds that can be quickly deployed for a variety of applications without interrupting your workflow. It is made up of a collapsible steel frame with chroma green and chroma blue surfaces that sets up in seconds. It includes a removable, reversible sleeve, featuring white, black, light gray, and dark gray backgrounds, perfect for product shots and portraits.

The chroma green and chroma blue background panels can be used for digitally inserting a background in still images or video in post-production.

The black surface makes it easy to light and isolate your subject, producing dramatic images. This is a great way to ensure colors and skin tones stand out, isolating focus and popping details. It also has the option of acting as a flag to absorb light, deepening shadows for a more dramatic effect.

The bright white fabric surface makes it easy to light and isolate a subject for high-key images, like those used in catalogs and advertisements. It can also be used to provide a soft and diffused reflection, which can be a great fill light when shooting portraits, models, or fashion.

Either side of the light gray or dark gray background panel can be used to create a neutral backdrop, which will make subjects pop by accentuating colors and skin tones. They are perfect for headshots, portraits, and product photography in the studio or on location. The reversible design allows the look of the lighting to be changed in seconds. These surfaces can also be used as reflectors to soften, add, or subtract light for a variety of lighting looks.

The steel frame is light but offers enough strength to stretch the fabric into a smooth surface for consistent and even lighting. Once the shoot is over, the flexible frame folds down to a compact 28" diameter circle that's one-third of its full size. The folded background fits neatly into an included carry bag for transportation or storage.

The backgrounds are made from premium-quality polyester muslin fabric that's ideal for absorbing light to help reduce specularity and reflections.

The fabric is easy to spot clean with water and mild detergent if necessary. A clean, spot-free background ensures optimum performance whenever you pull it out of the bag.

The background features an integrated top loop and two side loops with heavy-duty touch fasteners for convenient attachment to a tripod, stand, or background holder.

The zippered travel bag keeps the background conveniently collapsed during travel.
