background question

[Thom Bennett]

I find this kind of background very interesting. Any idea what this might be?

Brushed steel or aluminum?

[Jim Jones]

Perhaps painted metal sheets on free-standing frames intended to be used as reflectors, but here used as background.

[Richard Wasserman]

Looks as if it could be rectangles of sheet metal nailed to either an open frame or plywood and then given a finish of some sort. I'm guessing that it was maybe glazed with a transparent glaze that would be used in faux finishing.

WHAT background?

[Jody_S]

Tin sheets nailed over a frame (on feet, presumably with a back support so they don't fall over). I'm guessing they were spray painted with a matte varnish to cut down on reflections of lights & photographers.
