"I'm always excited to discuss your photography needs and backdrop specifications. Take the headache out of your decisions and start creating amazing images with ease today!"- Catherine, Founder


From photographer to backdrop creator
In 2019, after finding my passion in food photography, I really struggled to get high quality backdrops in New Zealand. So I decided if I couldn't find a local, quality vinyl backdrop supplier, I'd become one myself! This is when CM Backdrops was born.
Photographing and printing my own designs has become such a passion, combining my love of photography and digital design, with my drive to provide this beautiful country with the photography supplies it has long been lacking.


Expanding the range
In 2022 I expanded the product range and it led to a name change - creating CM Props & Backdrops as it's known today. The product range has grown to include a carefully curated supply of New Zealand made props for product photography and larger backdrops for portrait photographers.
I still don't know what to call myself as a 'maker of photography backdrops and props', I don't think there is a concise word for it!
