ALL SWEEPS (All In One Seamless Backdrops plus Floordrops)

SWEEPS / All In Ones

"Sweeps" are one continuous backdrop that transitions from wall to floor in a curve. Almost any size backdrop can be used as a sweep. The right size depends on your subject. Our sweep backdrops (also known as all-in-one backdrops or floor drop backdrops) are designed to create a smooth, continuous transition from wall to floor, giving you a clean, professional studio look without the need for separate backdrop and flooring pieces. These seamless photography backdrops are ideal for a wide range of sessions including newborn photography, baby milestone sessions, cake smashes, children’s portraits, branding shoots, and full adult portrait setups. Whether you are working in a home studio or a professional photography space, sweep backdrops allow you to maximize your shooting area while maintaining a polished, cohesive background.

For example:
• A 5x10 can create a small 5 ft wall + 5 ft floor sweep for newborns or young children
• Larger subjects require more width and often more floor depth

Key variables:
• Ceiling height
• Subject size
• Desired floor coverage
• Available studio width

Important:
Your ceiling height determines your maximum wall height. Ordering a longer backdrop does not increase wall height beyond your ceiling. It only increases floor depth.

To estimate usable wall height:
Ceiling height
minus
12-18 inches for the curve
= approximate wall height

Then:
Total backdrop length
minus
Wall height
equals
Floor depth

WIDTH VS LENGTH
First number = width (side to side)
Second number = total length (wall + floor)

Width affects how much horizontal shooting space you have. Length determines how your wall and floor are divided.

More common sizes for adult sweeps:
Estimated 50/50 wall-to-floor split for quick visualization. Actual wall height will depend on your ceiling.

Before ordering, measure:
• Your ceiling height
• How much wall height you want visible
• How far forward your subject will stand
• How much floor you want in frame
• Your available width

If unsure, physically tape the dimensions out in your studio first to avoid ordering something larger than your space can comfortably support.
