Oliphant Backdrop Reveal
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 мар 2015
- We recently worked with the wonderful people at Oliphant Studio to create a stunning, one of a kind backdrop for portrait work in 2015 and beyond. This is a quick video of us getting the wonderful work of art and letting you see it along with us for the first time ever. We can't wait to get shooting against his masterpiece and can't say enough great things about Sara and the awesome people at Oliphant!
hummm suggestion tip ( this happened at one time to all of us then we learn) instead of hanging the oliphant backdrop by the tail end of the roll.. push the hanging rod of the backdrop stand through the shipping tube and hang it on the stands ... then unfurl your backdrop to the length that you want that way your horizontal rod won't sag...(like it did in the video). You will be able to keep it in place with just 2 clamps and your backdrop will display properly. You can roll it up or down at will.. just my 2 cents.
The oliphant people will be grateful to you for taking care of their backdrop.
+Frank Nazario A couple of things... First, the backdrop is only taped to the shipping tube and the tape will come off it because of the heft of the material. Second, I own the backdrop. Third, I just threw the stand together quickly and the joints weren't totally locked out but not a matter to me anyways as I rarely ever actually see the top of the backdrop anyway. I've used many backdrops but I do appreciate you weighing in! Enjoy the rest of our videos as well, Cheers!
+Payton Ruddock The backdrop is taped to the tube of course that is why you use the clamps inside the tube...ends you put one of the jaws inside the tube and the other of course above the canvas it will hold it in place, keep it taught and level...
So you bought the Oliphant? wow would it be an indiscrete question to ask how much you paid?
+Frank Nazario In the same way that I wouldn't want my photography clients telling others what they paid for my services or images for campaigns, I'll let you send them that inquiry ;)
+Frank Nazario But thank you for the head up. I typically like just clipping it to the top so I don't have the backside and the roll in the image if I do go all the way to the top of the frame with it, but that would help me getting in and out faster for set up and clean up. Thanks for the tip!
4 years later, but: cripes that’s beautiful.
I really love mine. Mine is a little narrower but I can transform it in Photoshop. When I ordered mine they said it would be a couple months but it was done in about 4 weeks.
That's beautiful. What size did you order? Congratulations!
+Pablo Saldana This one is a 10x12 and the other one I now have is a 6x9 painted on both sides.
nice shot
Thank you so much for the replies!
Nice hat bro
Can you give us a rough price of what you paid for this. Just want to see how much roughly it'll cost me
You can reach out to them direct for pricing. Each one is custom so I really can't provide much that would be helpful. I would suggest just filling out a contact form with the info and what you're wanting/thinking on their site and they're awesome at getting back to you quickly!
Would love to know price.
+Wendy GG if you bought and oliphant ... i mean a true oliphant backdrop you would have a heart attack. on their website you can only rent/lease their backdrops.
There are many look alikes out there that do a fair job... but a true oliphant backdrop will put you to tears when you see it they are almost alive.
The link below is their rental page, and as you can see by the prices of the rental imagine the purchasing price they are non existent.

That said you can comission Oliphant to make a backdrop for you ... just be ready to wait for a while and make sure you have your high blood pressure pills with you went they quote you, you will need them :-)
LoL! So you rented this? Okay I thought you may have bought it.... nonetheless it is stunning as always. I was a kid when she started I have known about her since then but back then I was not a photographer at the time, but I did work in a photo studio...
+Wendy GG Every backdrop is different and they will quote you one and work with you to create yours specifically for you. They aren't cheap, but they're totally worth it. I have since bought another from her that is smaller and double sided and I cherish that one as well. True works of art!
+Frank Nazario I did buy this Oliphant... You seem to like to make a lot of assumptions Frank, but I appreciate you weighing in.
Payton i dont make assumptions ... their core business is rental not sales. I've known Oliphant for years now... The fact that you purchased one is very cool indeed and I know for a fact you paid a premium for it. The photographers tha I know dont usually purchase from Oliphant they rent/lease from them... that was all.
How much did you pay for this?
Tran Thai Binh please see the other comments. I feel that it is not my place to disclose this, but you can inquire on their site if you’re interested in purchasing one of their custom backdrops.
its around 3k expensive but well worth it
Thank you
Again, that's a completely inaccurate price because each of these is custom and the price varies based on what you're needing and wanting. Probably just best to reach out direct, there's no harm in seeing what Sarah will quote you at for what you want.
