The Best Color Photography Background For Portraits Is Gray - Studio Backdrop Tutorial

Studio equipment is expensive and you don’t want to be stuck with just one or two backgrounds. If I could own only one background for portraits, it would have to be gray. With a minimal amount of effort, you can turn a gray backdrop into white, or black or pretty much any color you can imagine. You can use seamless paper backgrounds or vinyl backdrops, or even gray material or gray paint on a wall.
If you keep light off the background - it will turn black. If you add enough light to the gray background it will turn white. And if you add colored gels to your background strobes, you can make that gray background any color you want to.

An outstanding presenter. Very effective and efficient. I watched this episode multiple times and I do have a couple of grey backdrops (hanging and pop up types). But I watch it just to learn how your studio uses it and how you present it. Thank you.

I dont have a big budget so i have to paint the wall gray and use all kinds of filter and reflector panels, thanks a lot for your awsome tips !
