What type of backdrop is best for your photography?
Рет қаралды 114,474
Күн бұрынPhotographic backdrops and backgrounds are a key part of any image - they can make or break your photo. Choosing the right backdrop is crucial, but knowing which one is the best can be tricky.

To help you make the most of your image, I’ve outlined some key points to think about when selecting a background and included two DIY photography backgrounds that you can easily make yourself.
What backdrop is the best for photography?
Whether you’re photographing people or products, there is a wide range of photography backgrounds to choose from. From simple colors to mottled canvas, the sky is the limit. Different types of backgrounds include paper, fabrics such as muslin or canvas, MDF sheets, pop up backgrounds or coves (cycloramas), to name just a few.

Remarkable lecture on the usually overlooked subject, whereas most people focus on the gadgets. The details explained are in itself a independent study material. The details of gloss and matte finish is my favourite. Many thanks for taking photography beyond camera gadgetry.

Thank you. If I don't want them to bend I go with the thicker ones but I don't have a particular thickness that I know I use, it doesn't really matter.

If you are looking for wood boards with "character", contact your local fence repair company to ask them for old worn out or damaged sections of wood fences. Most firms will be more than glad to give these pieces of wood away so that they won't have to dispose of them. Once you receive those old pieces of fence wood then you can do anything you want with them. I like to cut them into 4 foot long pieces so they will fit across the back seat of my car when I am going out to a client's location. You can also sand them down, paint or stain them, etc. Tip: here in the US, I buy new 8 foot long cedar fence boards from Home Depot stores then ask to have them cut to my 4 foot standard length. (You get 1 free cut per board.) Cedar fence boards are naturally full of character due to their being "rough cut". Each board costs about US $2.50 or so.

Great as always. I think you are the best photography expert youtuber out there. I have one question though. In your 0:54 picture, my eye goes to the left highlight in the corner as that area is much brighter than the model. Was that choice intentional in order to create more volume or because of something that I am missing out in the “broader picture”? I am trying to figure that out. Thanks!

How about using an old-fashioned projector screen, such as those meant for viewing slides of 8mm movies? They curl up taking little space, and come with a stand of their own, and can be transported by car. Using gels with your backdrop lights allows them to be coloured other than their pearly grey tone. I have saved one of those "in case I might need it some day".

@VisualEducationStudio 4 жыл бұрын
No not on this one, as you are probably aware all the videos we make for youtube serve us only in two ways. 1. as a marketing exercise to make people more aware of our main platform and draw them to our site, and 2. to offer some level of training (not our best training) to those who for whatever reasons can't afford our low month option but they will speak kindly of us for the free stuff we put out there. On this occasion I decided to try not putting any links from the comments to see if it improved our view count, we will always try and implement different options on our channel to see what works best and unlike many other YTubers we don't pretend otherwise.
