I'd do plywood and probably 1/2" plywood. Too thin it doesn't have much strength to hold stuff and can get wavy if the span is too far. Sometimes, the thinner stuff is just as expensive if not more than the thicker 1/2" sheet.
Screw it up and take it with you. Lay out all your full sheets first and only cut where you need to.

If going this way I also would not bother to cut the sheets to land on studs if the framing etc is off.
I would just join the sheets wherever they land in between the studs at full length with scrap at the back.
A thin paneling will be the cheapest, but since you also want it to add to your photos, I would use a corrugated metal roofing panels down low and thin wood paneling above with a 1x4 chair molding between them

If a photo back drop is the end goal, why not get a large white bed sheet or two and tack it/them in place.
Or have a graphics place make you a banner with your logo on it.
Quick, low cost, and it leaves with you when the lease ends.

Insulation vinyl like they use on metal buildings, you can get it in a roll and is white in color. Con is you can't hang anything on it.
Building wrap too I think the back side doesn't have print on it.

Roughly 20x30, with a half-height wall in one spot. One window, one door, 16' garage door.
You know I was wondering if I could use some kind of sheet. Like, literal bedsheets, but you'd never get it smooth. Billboard vinyl, that's an interesting idea! Toxic, but interesting...Reused Billboard Vinyl Archives - billboardtarps.com

Yeah that's the way I'm leaning. I'd prefer the warmth and sound absorption of wood, but anything nice (meaning not a witch's brew of sawdust/wood chips, toxic binders and resins) is sky-high expensive. So, board and batten style steel siding, like this. Bonus is, it can be used inside or outside later...These facts, plus that fact that it's a rental, really should steer you toward not wasting time/money on this, but if I follow this request:
I'd suggest liner panel. It fits your chemical free criteria as well.

You could try this
and just pin nail it. Not the cheapest but if you buy 15 or more it's cheaper. Wouldn't be strong but pretty.

Not tongue and groove and only 32" wide. Certainly not cheap.

Edit - the Q&A section of the link is where it was listed as 32" wide.

I saw this at a restaurant last night. I don't care for the rusty tin but new would be ok. I'm thinking of tearing off my roof of of my shop (which has rusty tin sorta of) and using the backside to show in my wall in my remodel of my shed. My shop will get new roof and I'll have tin for the bottom of the walls. It's probably about a little over 2 bucks a sq. ft for quality stuff. Can buy cheaper 30 ga stuff from Home Depot etc. Perhaps OSB above that. Run it horizontal for more strength.

It's 32 sqft 4'x8' and I think it's like t-11 where they match up on ends.

The Q&A questions on the Home Depot link is where they listed it as 32" wide and blunt edges (not T&G).
