How Much Do Oliphant Backdrops Cost? Answer: Over $1,000
Oliphant Backdrops are iconic backdrops used in portrait photography. You’ve probably seen these backdrops in photos by Annie Leibovitz and many other famous photographers. Art always comes with a price and rightfully so, and the biggest question many people ask is how much the backdrops cost.
“I used this backdrop (featuring Sarah Oliphant herself) as an example, which is around 6 feet by 8 feet (not fully rolled out),” Kunze says.
Here’s the quote Kunze got from Oliphant Backdrops:
As of now, a 6’ x 8’ grey portrait backdrop will be $1,000- plus applicable taxes, packaging and shipping (these are at a TBD additional cost).
