I recently purchased a Black vinyl backdrop.
Supposed to be glare free.
OK, so here is the problem. When shooting I am getting a 'blue' look to my photos and I am not glare free.
Suggestions on settings would be greatly welcomed!!
THANKS in advance!

Sounds like you have the subject to close to the background and the spill is slightly illuminating the background.

Also your lights may be at an angle that a direct refelction is headed back into the lens. If they were more to the side it might eliminate it.

I have them a ways away, and the lights to the side, however, I will try some more adjustments.
THANK YOU for taking the time to respond, I appreciate it!!

Can you post a sample shot so we can get a better idea of your setup and the problem you're having?

Is you background far enough away? Far enough?

And are your lights flagged off from your camera?

Far enough away being? 2 feet, 5 feet
My lights are off to the sides roughly 45 degree angles, no backlights behind the subject.
Wireless triggers.

I will try to post something later.

The background is a savage and supposed to be glare free, however, the light do bounce off of it, maybe the lights need to be further away........This is my first vinyl, I have used paper prior to this, so different from the paper for sure!
Thank you for your time replying!
