Product photography guide
The light, the backdrop and the styling can make or break your product photography images.
Here are a few points that will help you when choosing product photography backdrops.
First comes the basics set
The essential backdrops you need for product photography are the so-called basics set, which you will use most frequently and that will always come in handy - light and dark tones of wood textures, tiles, concrete, stone and solid colours. This basics set is an absolute must-have. If you are a beginner photographer, start your collection with these first. If you’ve been in the industry for a while, you can easily expand to other options to give your creativity more freedom.
Colours and textures
Colours and textures allow you to unleash your imagination. Textures are an especially good choice because they add maximum realism to the image. With our Ultra High Definition printing at 1200dpi, we can accurately recreate them and make the backdrop feel hyper realistic. And colours are the perfect tool to convey a certain mood - light and fresh, airy, dark and nostalgic, gentle and romantic, aggressive and provocative - as well as specific associations, such as evoking feelings of cleanliness, exclusivity, youth, taste, seasonal moods, and more. Colours can offer a lot, but they can also be tricky, as they can easily draw attention away from the product. So, be careful and always consider what you will be photographing and what you want to tell through your images.
How to choose the size
Consider the size you need based on the size of the products you will be photographing and whether you are using additional props that require space for placement and styling. Also, think about what type of shots you will be taking - close-up, wide-angle, or lifestyle photos. It’s important to plan for the styling you will use, the composition of the elements, and the space you intend to leave around them. All of these factors determine the size of the backdrop you will need. Smallest backdrops are for smaller objects, close-up shots and not too much styling. Bigger backdrops give you the freedom to use props, style the shot, you can do close-up shots as well as lifestyle.

What about future projects
Think about the future. If you anticipate a future need for photographing larger products or you just want to create a more versatile setup, it may be worth investing in a larger backdrop that can handle a variety of shoots.
