p.1 #1 · Aura Backdrops?


Hey everyone,
I was wondering if anyone could give me some feedback on Aura Backdrops and the quality of their muslins? Also, if you had some photos of them it would be much appreciated! I am looking at purchasing three for $299. 10x20's

Thanks,

Andrew

I have heard good things but don't have any first hand experience.

I just got my first SilverLake painted 10x20 muslin and I like it very much.

They are great. I have worked with a lot of different backdrop suppliers and so far they are the best for the price and quality. I am the equipment purchaser for a large photography company and I purchase in the range of 100 backdrops a month, so I have a lot of experience with backdrops. I have had problems with getting badsheets from some of the cheaper places.

Andrew,

Go to SilverLake web site http://www.silverlakephoto.com/forums/ and register for their forums. You will see "Lates Group Buys". There is one starting for Feb but the codes haven't been published yet, I am guessing soemtime in mid Feb.

Oh okay, so you nominate a muslin to be placed in the group buy and hope that it gets to the list. Thanks for letting me know.

Too bad it's normal that in instances like these, the OP doesn't come back and fill us in on his choice, how things went, etc. A lot of "Should I?" type questions are never concluded with the "I did." part of it, with details.

I'm not faulting the OP for this as I see it way too often, but I can hope, right?

My apology for the bad english. Yeah, I am late in responding but I just can't hold me back in sharing my experience with aurabackdrops.com. Actually, I made my first order with aurabackdrops on April 15, 08

I was a bit worried when I ordered the following backdrops with them. It was my first order ever with them. My main concern was the quality and customer service.

http://aurabackdrops.com/autumwalkscenicmuslinbackdrop10x20-p-64.html and http://aurabackdrops.com/pinklilyscenicmuslinbackdrop10x20-p-331.html

But I was a gainer when the backdrops reach me and the shipping was real quick.

I am also considering to buy the backdrop pack at http://aurabackdrops.com/advancedbackdroppack-p-356.html worth $399 (3-10' x 20's bacdrop)

I would not go to any controversy if aurabackdrops.com is really a good company or not ....I was searching for a company that delivers good quality muslin backdrops with low prices. I found aurabackdrops and my experience is really good with them. Its a relative issue though.

Hope I am able to write it properly now
