Freedom Cloth Giveaway from Denny



During our summer vacation in the deep south, we had the chance to visit with one of our sponsors in Mobile, Alabama. The gracious people at Denny Manufacturing gave us a tour of their company. They are the worlds largest manufacturer of backdrops and photography props. The behind the scenes tour gave us a chance to see the products being made. When you hear hand painted canvases, you don't image someone actually standing there with a paintbrush filling the canvas with a beautiful image. Watching the artist paint was such a treat...I truly appreciate the art that goes behind each canvas after seeing the process of creating it.


We also had a chance to see the Freedom Cloth® in person and learn the process and details of making one. The Freedom Cloth® is a Wrinkle-Free Machine Washable Backdrops.


Here's what the owner of the company, Denny Variali had to say about them...


This great backdrop product was introduced nearly 2 years ago and has made a huge impression on the photographic industry. We have effectively eliminated nearly all of the problems associated with traditional forms of backdrops.


Imagine a backdrop that can be stored in a bag and then has few or no wrinkles when taken out of the bag to use. No foul paint odors! It is washable and colorfast. It can be thrown in the dryer or steamed easily if required. The color rendition pops and it projects realism like never before! If you have not tried a Denny Freedom Cloth® backdrop, I urge you to because I know you will never return to the old style of Hand-Painted Muslin backdrops.


~ Denny Variali


If you are in the process of setting up a studio or making your own home studio, this is a great backdrop to have.


They have over 1300 styles to choose from.


The gracious people at Denny Manufacturing Company will be making one Savvy reader very happy! They are giving away a 5 ft x 7ft Euro Mix Pale Blue Freedom Backdrop to the winner of our giveaway...here's how to win.


Spread the word about the giveaway on Facebook, Twitter or any photography forums you love...and then come back here and leave a comment for each thing you do {max of three comments per person}. Make sure you provide us with a link to your shout out...if your number is chosen and there is no working link, then you don't win...so make sure it links back to us at the Savvy Photographer blog.


The contest ends in 24 hours...all entries must be submitted by 8am {EST}, Tuesday morning {September 14th, 2010}. The winner will be announced shortly after 8am.


Good luck!


Make sure you check out the Denny site to find more photography props and backgrounds.
