"The people at Signature Backgrounds realize not all photographers have the same needs. We like to be creative, and we're often under a great deal of pressure. They're great about accommodating my deadlines, making custom changes, and since they create all the backdrops themselves, the pictures I submit are very true to the backdrops I receive. I own about 15 of their backdrops, and I'm sure I'll continue to turn to Signature when I need something new." —Jean Anderson, Anderson Studio/Colorful Concepts, Centennial, CO

Studio Dynamics is offering its new "Two-in-One" backdrops: The backdrop, either muslin or canvas, has two different designs (an abstract design and a softer blended design) at each end, both of which merge in the center. Use the whole backdrop to incorporate both designs or just feature one end.
