Muslin or Canvas?
My wife has just opened a photography studio; hence I am trying to get some information on designing and preparing backdrops versus paying 200 dollars plus for them. What is best Canvas drop cloth or Muslin? What type of paint should one use?, Or should one use dye? If there is some literature explaining these questions I have a heads up would be nice too.
This answer is based entirely on what I know about these fabrics…
Muslin is a thinner fabric than canvas, and will allow more light to pass through it. In some cases, it may be slightly see-through due to light coming from behind it if it is not hanging against a wall. Choose whichever one gives the desired results based on that, but I’d think canvas would be better. Also, dye will change the color of the fabric but not make it block more light/be less see-through. Paint will make the fabric, especially canvas, entirely opaque (and heavy and inclined to form cracks if you apply the paint wrong).
On the other hand, a dyed muslin drape would probably make a very interesting and attractive backdrop.
If you can’t find books about painting photography backdrops specifically, then craft books on making painted floor cloths will at least give you the basics of painting designs on canvas cloths that need to retain flexibility.

The Paradox of Photography. $62 The Paradox of Photography analyzes the discourse on photography by four of the most important modern French poets and theorists (Baudelaire, Breton, Barthes and Valry). It stresses in particular the importance of this visual language for the development of both new forms of narrative and original critical studies on issues of representation in art. It also reflects upon the integration of photography within the domain of technical modernity while emphasizing its aesthetic identity stemming from the Western tradition of figurative painting. |
