In this video I show you how I add visual interest to my portrait backgrounds by introducing texture and colour to make my subject stand out. Very few of us have the space or budget to own a wide variety of portrait backdrops, but you can create a near endless variety in your editing stage.

Great tutorial, no nonsense and great result. Wanted to buy a tobacco and olive background but that stuff is expensive. I'm gonna try this! Thanx for sharing.

Your videos have always been an incredible gift to me. Several times I have created simply amazing portraits for others after coming across one of your videos on lighting, how to use strobes, and now backgrounds. Thanks so much for your contribution to helping us create our best. You are an incredible instructor and our lives are so much richer for it.

Sean great video! I've been using a black and white foldable backdrop and I still want to get a gray foldable backdrop but your video has opened a whole new color background world! thank you so very much!

I love how the blur brought in the correct amount of bokeh in your "backdrop". I am looking forward to trying it out on the images from a recent studio shoot.

Well that was magical. So simple as well! I learned a lot from how you identified light direction on your background assets and adjusted appropriately. I've been shooting team portraits with an RGB LED on a grey back wall for a coloured gradient, but grey will be so much more flexible in post of course...might try converting old backdrops to B&W before recolouring but I'm guessing I'll have some colour cast remaining! Thank you for sharing these gems Sean.

I think I speak for all of us when I say thank you for putting this together (for free). This mini set could easily be something that would be a paid for tutorial elsewhere, so thanks a lot. What might have been useful is if you had any recommendations for where to go and get some textures?

Great video! Is there a way to automate this and apply it to multiple images? Say you've done a portrait shoot for a company and need to apply this background to all images of that shoot. Would that be possible?

@vernonr7404 2 жыл бұрын

In instead of adding texture, is your technique compatible with smoothing/cleaning backgrounds, e.g.., removing wrinkles, using the mixer brush tool also (and not mixing the subject also)?

Greetings all. I can't get a background to add to my original image as described at around 3.49 in this image. I drag the background image onto the image I wish to add it to but nothing happens. It looks very simple to do in this vid but I am clearly missing something. Anyone able to enlighten me as to what I am missing? Cheers, Will
