Photo Studio Basics - How to Set Up a Paper Backdrop Bar

In this guide you'll learn how to set up a paper backdrop bar in a photo studio with this easy-to-follow tutorial, perfect for achieving a clean, professional look in your photography sessions! Specifically, we cover how to install the Manfrotto backdrop bar system, but these are made by a heap of different brands and they all operate pretty much the same. These systems are particularly awesome if you don't want to have to mount a backdrop to the wall or feel a bit unsure about carrying a heavy backdrop up a ladder. We use these everyday, and they make a great addition to any studio, even those setups at home. This video was mainly shot as a how-to guide to help people using our studio (Kindred Cameras in Melbourne, Australia) get familiar with the facilities, but we figured it might be useful to someone else out there too. Good luck with your shoots!
