There are many types of backdrops used for holiday photography. Professional backdrops are an easy way to add the holiday spirit to your family portraits. Some examples include:
Drapes
Also known as muslin backgrounds, these plain cloth backdrops hang freely to create a textured surface behind photo subjects. They are available from professional supply companies in solid colors or patterns. For Christmas portraits, these backdrops can be found in solid colors such as red, green and white or in patterns with holiday themes. Draped backgrounds are excellent for large portraits and are easier to tote around than other types of professional backdrops. They are also useful for subjects wearing light or brightly-colored outfits, since the neutral background provides a nice contrast.
Pre-printed Backdrops
Pre-printed backdrops are used by professionals to create a portable Christmas scene. These Christmas-theme backdrops present a distinct advantage in that they can be printed with any number of holiday themes. Common backdrops include Christmas trees, outdoor winter scenes or a cozy fireplace. The disadvantage is that these backgrounds are expensive and not easily portable, so they are best suited for professional studios. They also accommodate a limited numbers of subjects, so they may not be suitable for large groups.
