Sweep Backdrops

A sweep is a seamless backdrop that smoothly transitions from the vertical background to the horizontal floor, creating a continuous, curved surface without any visible lines or creases. This design eliminates harsh shadows and distracting edges, making it perfect for professional photography, including portraits, fashion, and product shoots. Sweeps provide a clean, infinite look that enhances depth and allows subjects to stand out beautifully against a flawless background. SWEEP backdrops are measured in WIDTH x HEIGHT.
