I will say that I had SERENDIPITY when first finding out about this fabulous lil prop shop…
I was cruising through facebook, and came apon Serendipity on FB…
and I was in L.O.V.E!

Serendipity Backgrounds is different than the vinyl and fabric backdrops we are used to featuring..
They are PAPER!

But dont get worried… they are a thick matte paper, which is a fabulous thing!

For example.. with the babies below, I put the Serendipity Backgrounds “roll” right on my backdrop stand, as I would any other “paper backdrop”.

The best part of these  Serendipity Backgrounds is that unlike vinyl, there is no “shine/bounceback” from my softbox…
PERFECTO!!!!!

I can bean my soft box at my regular 45-60 deg angle.. and not have the “hot patch” on my backdrop!!!
However, they are paper… and even thick matte paper can rip… so enjoy the “no hot zone”, but treat them nicely as well!

I roll mine right back up, and store them w/my other paper drops.

OR…
you can do this easy trick…
we stuck our big TUFF LUV backdrop right to our studio wall.
We first used “painters tape”, but realized it had to be removed very carefully or it will pull a lil paper with it…
so, we took tiny nails and just popped each corner right into the wall itself….

and got great results like this…

My review… I LOVE THESE BACKDROPS!

I like the fact that they dont blow out, or get “hot” from my flash…
Just treat them nicely and either roll them back up or attach them right to your wall
and save them from any “wear/tear”.
