Denny Manufacturing was founded in 1971 by professional photographer Denny Variali. What began in a small garage was driven by one goal: to create better photography backdrops and props for the industry he loved. When Denny couldn’t find what he needed, he decided to build it himself.

Today, we are the world’s largest manufacturer of photography backdrops and studio equipment. Our team still crafts products in the USA, with a focus on quality and innovation. Denny Manufacturing introduced Freedom Cloth, Roll Up Floors, and hand-painted backgrounds that have shaped the industry. After more than 50 years, our passion for photography remains the same.

Choosing the Right Photography Backdrop Material

Backdrop Materials Explained

Freedom Cloth™ is designed to minimize one of photography’s biggest frustrations—wrinkles. While an occasional light steam may be needed if it’s been crumpled, most of the time it comes out of storage ready to shoot.

  • Best for: Portrait photographers, newborn/family studios, traveling shooters.
  • Solves: Prep time vs. cheaper fabrics; easy wash/dry; consistent look in high-volume use.
  • Consider if: You want a reliable, portable backdrop with a clean, professional finish.

Weighted, textured, and timeless. Built to last, but requires space, support, and care.

  • Best for: Fine-art portraits, high-end studio sessions, dramatic editorial work.
  • Solves: Clients seeking depth and painterly character.
  • Consider if: You’ll store it rolled and handle with care; becomes part of your signature look.

Each Master Muslin is hand painted in the U.S.—no two are alike. Made to order; classic, painterly texture with visible brushwork.

  • Best for: Portraitists wanting unique, artisan surfaces.
  • Solves: Differentiation from mass-produced looks; tactile, timeless aesthetic.
  • Consider if: Spot or dry clean only; choose top/bottom pole pockets or grommets; allow for trimming/shrinkage on new pieces.

Durable, wipe-clean, and designed for repeat use. Must be stored rolled to avoid permanent creases.

  • Best for: Cake smashes, food/product sets, schools, volume work.
  • Solves: Hygiene and fast turnaround—clean and shoot again.
  • Consider if: You can light to manage potential glare; top/bottom wood mounting helps with transport.

The industry standard for a flawless, non-reflective surface. Treat as consumable—trim when marked and roll more.

  • Best for: E-commerce, fashion/editorial, high-key/low-key sets.
  • Solves: Total wrinkle elimination and consistent color.
  • Consider if: Ongoing replacement cost is acceptable for the look and speed you gain.

Luxurious matte velvet appearance with rich, vibrant color and depth.

  • Best for: Studio portraits needing warmth and mood.
  • Solves: Flat or sterile backgrounds; adds dimensionality under light.
  • Consider if: You want washable fabric convenience with a dramatic finish.

Lightweight coated paper—more durable than standard paper and budget-friendly.

  • Best for: Beginners and budget-minded creators.
  • Solves: Affordable entry to professional looks.
  • Consider if: Store rolled to avoid creases; won’t outlast fabric or vinyl.

Pop-up cloth backdrops bound by a wire frame; fold into a compact circle for travel.

  • Best for: Traveling headshots, events, tight spaces.
  • Solves: Setup/teardown friction; portability.
  • Consider if: You don’t need extra-wide or long seamless looks.

Heavy, double-sided brushed cotton that absorbs light for a true “invisible black.”

  • Best for: Low-key portraits, theater, dramatic lighting control.
  • Solves: Reflections and light spill; consistent deep black.
  • Consider if: Spot clean only; sizes listed width x height.

Wrinkle-resistant, washable polyester available in wide widths; a dependable everyday workhorse.

  • Best for: Headshots, school/sports, product work.
  • Solves: Ironing/steaming hassles common with cheaper muslin.
  • Consider if: You want durability and ease without premium cost.
