When you are starting your photography journey and want to create beautiful photos, you would probably start by choosing a camera, lens and purchase a bunch of props. But what no one tells you, is that you will get a more professional result, if using an appropriate photography backdrop.
The proper photo background is definitely a must-have prop to your photoshoots and goes a long way in achieving the impression you want to give your clients, your social media audience or your overall portfolio.
So, if you want to upgrade your images, you need a high quality photography backdrop that combines design, texture and color.
I happily introduce you today, the new collection just added to my shop, Backdrops Ideal For Begginers. In this post, I choose to present 9 out of the 16 designs I carefully added to this collection.
These are all designs that work really well with the majority of the food you have to shoot and the products you want to capture, for either a client of yours or your personal images collection.
They are extremely easy to style and edit, even if you are just started experimenting with vinyl surfaces.
So, lets dive in to get to know them and grab a few quick tips on how to handle them in the edit process!!
