Artist inspires background colorways

Lastolite Limited, the British company now supplying many world markets with hand-painted canvas and fabric backdrops for studio photography, introduced a complete new range of 'Impressionist' colors and patterns at photokina 94 in Cologne.

The fabric background is flexible enough to be rolled or crumpled, but can also be used ironed flat. It is two-sided, the reverse giving different color density and saturation. The designers drew their colors from paintings by Monet, and the backgrounds are named after these. The pattern is random and each backdrop is different. Our scanned samples are from pieces roughly A4 in size.

Monet backgrounds are supplied in several sizes:

5' x 6' 'showercap' design
10 x 12' curtain
10 x 24' curtain to allow standing area on studio floor
8 x 8' collapsible with 7ft 'train' to do the same for portable and location use

The colorways are:
