Abstract

A kit for constructing a photographing booth, which is effective for photographing a subject to be photographed clearly. The photographing construction kit includes a box unit in a square cylindrical shape able to be folded, a lid unit in a rectangular flat plane shape, a rolled back sheet to be laid as a background of a subject to be photographed, and a roller for placing the back sheet 6 thereover. A black antireflection film is provided on a main surface side of the back sheet so that it faces the subject to be photographed. The antireflection film is configured by a membrane having a thickness of 2 μm or more and 40 μm or less formed from a liquid composition having a specific composition by spray coating.
