First I would recommend buying a commercial background stand to hold your chromakey backdrop. They do not cost much, are simple to use, are stable and easy to transform. You could make your own but for out door use, they will not perform the same.

Assuming you are a semi professional photographer, and you would like to have your own home studio or take your pictures out doors or at other people locations.

There are several good inexpensive types of chromakey backdrop materials for your photography experience:

1. Paper- They can be purchased at many local camera stores and are relatively inexpensive. They come in large rolls of paper in two basic widths.

Pros - Paper rolls are fairly inexpensive and are readily available.
Cons - The paper tears, gets dirty, gets creased and has to be replaced constantly.

2. Painted Canvas - They come in different sizes and can provide stunning chromakey backdrop portraits.
Painted canvas can be ordered over the internet, or you can get them in many backdrop suppliers.

Pros - Depending on the creator, they can be stunningly beautiful. You can even have one created just for you, to match your exact specifications.
Cons - They are EXPENSIVE! And like paper, the wider ones are heavy, complicated to work within the field and too difficult transport.

3. Fabric - Strips of green colored material as wide as is available and about 12 feet long. Best is to get some sort of material that either does not easily wrinkle, or where wrinkles will nor matter.

Pros - You can get any style and texture that suited your fancy. It can be hung bunched up like a curtain behind the subject, or stretched flat, you can easily accommodate them. No matter how wide you need your chromakey backdrop, no problem to accommodate it with fabric.
It is easy to store and very to transport (just fold up and put them in a box). The material is very inexpensive in comparison to a painted canvas and even paper in the long run.
It is easy to work with the fabric backdrop it is flexible and can be flowed around furniture.
Cons - If you want several strips you may have difficulty finding fabric from the same material. You may have to have your local fabric store order it for you.

This is the major chromakey backdrop points you should take in considerations. I am sure you would not have any trouble finding the perfect backdrops for your creative vision.

In this lens, I am going to teach you how to make a very inexpensive - DIY - chromakey backdrop.

Things You will Need:
*** Lime Green Fabric dyes
*** White cotton fabric

Step 1
Measure the correct size of fabric that you will be using for your ChromaKey backdrop. Consider what kind of photography you will use your ChromaKey backdrop for. It will help you determine the size of fabric that you need to buy.
For small size item fabric 2x3 ft will be perfect.
For the photographing of people then you should get a 5x7 ft piece of fabric.

Step 2
Now you have to determine what type of material you will use for your chromakey backdrop. We will be dyeing the fabric to give it the bright green color. Best fabric to dye is cotton. You can purchase white cloth from a cloth department store, or online.

Step 3
Now you are ready to dye it to a bright green. Best is to follow the directions on the fabric dye package. Remember the brighter the better so go for a more neon or lime green color. Allow your colored fabric to dry thoroughly. Once it is dry your chromakey backdrop is ready for use.

Turn your own snapshots into professional looking photos! Photography for a long time is going the way of the digital world. Many photographers are looking for digital backdrops, trying to fulfill their artistic wishes in their chromakey backdrop studio.

Every photographer, professional or semi professional, are creating wonderful photos using digital background. Ever take a photo that you just wish had a different background? The picture of your precious one is too good to be stuffed in a box somewhere, but you would not frame it and hang it on the wall just because someone you do not like or situation you rather forget is in that picture background.

So why don't you go and fix it?
