A Quick Guide 📸
Did you know most FD
Photo Studio
locations for rent in Los Angeles,
New York and
Chicago come
stocked with a rainbow of
seamless
backdrops? From classic shades like white, black, mocha and grey to bold pops of color like
canary yellow, evergreen, and blue jay
— we’ve got your
vision covered!
No need to lug a massive roll in your car
(our rolls are 9 feet wide) or buy a full one just for a single shoot. Whether you’re doing a quick
sweep or want the backdrop to hit the floor for those full-body e-commerce or editorial shots
, we’ve made it
super easy and affordable.
Scroll down to check out our color chart, sizes, and simple pricing. Seamless = stress-free.
Backdrop pricing? Super simple!
FREE — Perfect for headshots, portrait photography, and setups where the
backdrop doesn’t touch the floor
. As long as it stays clean
(no wrinkles, stains, or footprints), you’re good to go — no charge! 
$29.99 — Just need a small sweep (up to 6 ft on the floor) or accidentally left a mark?
That’s a one-time fee to cover light use or damage.
$59 — Want to roll out more than 6 ft of backdrop on the floor for a full-body look or
action shot? This one’s for you.
$75 — Need the full roll (36 ft long!) for a big concept shoot or to take with
you? You can purchase the whole thing.
How do you pay for seamless paper?
Just let us know if you’re planning to use a backdrop — and how you plan to use it — so we can send over
a quick payment link 
. Payment must be completed
before your booking time to keep your shoot day smooth and stress-free .
Add a note to your
booking request Or call/email/message us beforehand Or let us know
while you’re at the studio (call us, text us or hit us up via website live chat)
All booking
related payments must be completed before the end of your booking.
Bringing your own backdrop? Just
give us a heads-up so we’re in the loop.
How to install a backdrop like a pro:
Grab your chosen
roll from the backdrop storage area (in the lobby or reception — except at LA Lofts location, where
backdrops are not available on-site).
Use the
c-stands with arms provided in every studio to set up. If you don’t see them, check reception or give us
a ring/text and we’ll help you out.
Need
guidance? Watch our quick how-to video
on backdrop installation using c-stands.
When you’re done, kindly return the roll to the red “Used Backdrop Roll” bin in the
storage area 
Please note:
Backdrops are self-install only. We can not pre-set them up for you, so make sure your
booking includes time to install and uninstall. If you’re running over, reach out — we’ll let you know
if an extension is possible.
