My home studio uses two floor-to-ceiling curtains to temporarily separate areas. The rooms are 117" wide. The curtain panels curtains are each 120" wide by 108" long.
The curtains are held up by a long 2.5cm pole attached to a partition wall. I removed the round finials at each end.
The poles are attached with three bracket hooks, one on each end and one in the middle:
New: Black Backdrop
I want to add another curtain, to be used as a backdrop for photography. Unlike theater backdrops, I do not want a completely flat curtain; this curtain should fold in an "S", without pleats. Referring to the first image in this article, this curtain will be placed at the far end of the studio, 4 feet in front of the doors. That end of the studio has no light sources to worry about.
This curtain should resemble a black velvet theatre curtain, in that it should absorb light so the viewer’s attention is on the talent. I believe that I need a directional-pile matte finish that drapes well. I am open to suggestions regarding the material: Velour? Commando Cloth? Charisma? Crescent? Apollo? Something else?
As with the other curtains, the dimensions of the room are 117" wide by 108" high, and I want the backdrop to be made in two pieces. Unlike the other curtains, this curtain will present better with back tabs instead of grommets.
I intend to use the same model of pole. This pole must be suspended from the ceiling, not hung from the wall, so I will use three ceiling brackets.
I am currently shopping for the backdrop.
