Duo Boards | The Best Product + Food Photography Backdrops You Can Own
In 2021 V-Flat World released a series of product and food photography backdrops for food and product photographers called Duo Boards. Aptly named, these double-sided photo backdrop boards burst on the scene ready to create images with commercial photographers as well as small-scale businesses and influencers.

Double Sided Backdrop Boards
Why a double sided photography backdrop? So you can get the most value for your money with two designs on one board. Wanna change things up? Just flip the board.
If you carry five boards to a shoot in the optional Duo Board bag, you’ve essentially got ten backdrops on-the-go.
Hyper realistic (1000 DPI)
Printed in 1000 DPI (dots per inch) our photography backdrops are built for the highest standards, for the highest level of work. Whether shooting commercial work for a fortune 500 brand or redoing a food menu for a local mom and pop shop our food photography backdrops will over deliver. At V-Flat World we have a long and strong background in photography & our standards are high. There are a lot of photo backdrops out there on the market and from what we have seen they pretty much all under deliver. From poor print quality to poor surface quality to limited size options to limited design options (and usually not the most attractive designs) we felt a need to come in and offer a real solution for professionals.
Our backdrops have been used in Burger King, Subway, Pepsi and Bose commercials, and many other brands.
Two Lightweight & Portable Size Options
Duo Boards photo backdrops come in two portable and lightweight sizes: 24”x24” (under 2 lbs) and 30”x40” (under 3 lbs). These two backdrop sizes make it easy to create realistic scenes whether you’re in a dedicated photo studio or out on location.
A Variety of Backdrop Designs
With nearly 40 different anti-glare food photography backdrops to choose from, we’re confident you’ll find something perfect for your needs. Actually, you’ll most likely find several surfaces you need. Our top three best selling Duo Boards are Onyx Marble/Alpine Marble, Iced Concrete/Midnight Cement, and Raw Concrete/Vintage Plaster. You can’t go wrong if you start with those three.
When you’re ready for more, check out the rest of our line. From wood and tile, to stone, and the textural bliss of surfaces created by artists in the food photography industry, you’ll find plenty of hyper-realistic inspiration for your next product + food shoot. See some of our board designs below.
Duo Legs
Duo Legs enable photographers to create a countertop scene or a floor-to-wall set.
Every Duo Board purchase comes with a set of Duo Legs at no extra charge. The purpose of these legs is two-fold:
To hold one Duo Board up as a “wall.”
To keep a Duo Board in place as it plays the part of a tabletop, counter, or floor.
Wipeable, Washable & Stain Resistant
So that your creativity isn’t limited, our Duo Boards are super durable and can withstand whatever you want to throw on them, there’s no need for concern when it comes to liquids, spills, and messy foods. Just be sure to promptly clean the board as they’re stain-resistant and not stain-proof.
Duo Board Bag
Our sleek, Duo Board Bag is available for photographers who need an even better way of storing and transporting their Duo Boards.
Like the Duo Boards, these bags come in two sizes to fit either the 24” x 24” or the 30” x 40” board.
Each bag comfortably fits five boards. A handy, zippered outer pocket keeps necessities like the included microfiber cloth and Duo Legs safe. The main compartment is also zippered—and padded—to protect your boards.

Marble Backdrops
Our Marble backdrops are from our most popular, marble is great for food photography because it mimics a kitchen look. Onyx Marble/Alpine Marble is our original marble board but we recently introduced Carrara Blue/Calacatta Gold which is quickly becoming a best seller. Our Food photography backdrops are double sided and come in two sizes.
Tile Backdrops
When we launched Duo Boards our first design was Subway Tile being that it is a classic all around for food photography. We later introduced Zigzag Marble giving photographers another great option. Both tile boards are double sided and come in white on one side and black on the other side.
Wooden Backdrops
Wood backdrops are essential in product and food photography. We have multiple options of great wood backdrops and our line keeps on growing. From dark to light, orange-ish to brown they won't disappoint.
Cement Backdrops
This is from our top 3 best selling backdrop boards. The industrial modern feel of cement and concrete is very sought after in the photo community and for good reason. Literally anything you throw on them looks amazing.
Textured Backdrops
Our textured backdrop collection are all hand painted designs created by artist in the photography industry who have a strong sense of what styles photograph well with food and product and what colors are trending. The good thing about textured backdrops is that they are timeless due to the abstract nature. You can shoot over and over on them without feeling repetitive, each part of the board is slightly different.
Linen and Terrazzo Backdrops
These backdrops are on the more exotic and less mainstream side of still life photography backdrops.
Pairing Tabletop V-Flats With Duo Boards
We created a line of Tabletop V-Flats to help product photography control light on a tabletop level. They come in 3 sizes, small, medium and large. Use the white to bounce light onto your subject or use the black to block or subtract light and create a more moody image.
Get a Duo Board
Now that you know what makes a great photography background, go get yourself some. You won’t be disappointed. Our Duo Boards look convincingly real in your photographs and videos. The 1000 DPI hyper realistic printing won’t let you down.
All of our photography backdrop boards are realistic, anti-glare, attractive, portable, durable, and versatile. As far as photography backdrops go, our Duo Boards are pretty awesome—if we do say so ourselves.
With a Duo Board, you can create a set anytime, anywhere. These are not vinyl backdrops. These are hyper realistic and portable photography backdrop boards that are actually double sided so you can travel with two surfaces in one. Genius.
We’ve got photography backdrops just for you. Take a look and get them here.

Are we a replica surfaces dupe or replica surfaces alternative?
No. We are better in every way possible. There are also lots of cheap knockoffs that keep surfacing up. We suggest not wasting money on them. We have a lot of customers that buy off brand products because of price and then end up coming to us because it does not meet their standards and needs.
