7 Stunning Photo Backdrops Under £100
One of the most important components of a successful photoshoot is the backdrop. Photo backdrops are used for all kinds of photography projects, whether you’re shooting corporate portraits or conducting a magazine shoot.
However, buying backdrops can be a bit of an expense at times. While backgrounds are available in all kinds of price ranges, we’ve narrowed down some of our favourite picks that you can get under £100. Don’t worry; they’re going to be just as effective for your photoshoots as you need them to be!
Let’s take a look at the top 6 options.
1. Collapsible Dual Side Background (£49.99)
Next up, you have the PIXAPRO Collapsible Dual Side Background Board that’s available in black and white colours. Most commonly used for location photography, this particular background is versatile and highly portable. Since it can be transported quite easily, it’s widely used by photographers who have to travel to different venues for their photoshoots.
The collapsible background comes with a double-riveted frame that perfectly supports the cotton muslin fabric. It can be used to create composite images by eliminating the background and adapting to the required dimensions. The 150cm by 200cm size of this backdrop allows it to be folded down to nearly 1/3rd of its actual size, making it easier to carry to shoots.
If you’re an event photographer or primarily take portraits, the 4m White & Black Reversible Studio Train Drop is just the thing for you. It allows you to take full-length shots using a solid colour for the background and integrates seamlessly with the environment you’re in. Because its 4m long, you can cover a vast area of space and use the backdrop for shooting group photographs at events..

3. 120cm x200cm PVC Backgrounds in Glossy/Matte Finish (£29.99)

4. 60x130cm PVC Backgrounds in Matte Finish (£17.99)
If you prefer having a matte finish for your backdrop, then we recommend the PiXAPRO 60x130cm Matte PVC Backgrounds. The smaller dimensions make them ideal for shooting images or videos of smaller products such as jewellery, gadgets, makeup and cosmetics, and ornaments. The smooth matte finish gives the final shots a truly professional feel and makes them stand out from the crowd.
These PVC backgrounds are scratch-resistant and durable. You can continue using your PVC backgrounds for several years without them wearing out or getting damaged. They can also be wiped clean easily and require minimal maintenance.

They are also the most cost effective option for 10m at £34.99. With a wide selection of colours available to create stunning, professional photographs and achieve the perfect setting.
