Black velvet fabric (1 yard)
Light-absorbing fabric that creates professional photography backgrounds by eliminating reflections. The pile texture prevents the sheen that makes other black materials show up gray in photos.
What to look for
- 1Cotton or cotton-blend velvet (not polyester suede) for true light absorption
- 2Dense pile with no visible backing showing through
- 3At least 45" width for versatility in background setups
- 4Fabric weight around 10-15 oz/yard for draping without sagging
Skip
- Foam-backed automotive headliner material—too stiff and reflects light differently than proper velvet
- Crushed or panne velvet which creates directional sheen instead of uniform darkness
Used for: Creating deep black photography backgrounds · Eliminating reflections behind reflective subjects · Isolating subjects in product photography
