Photography Backgrounds, Photography Backdrops

January 2015, and a much awaited time in the diary for Wedding and Portrait photographers, the SWPP Convention and Trade Show weekend.

This year Creativity Backgrounds hosted with ProFoto a demonstration on the use of colour.

Friday and Saturday afternoon saw Simon Leach giving a technical demonstration on lighting, distance from backdrop, subtleties of light.

Alex Styles aroused the audience on Saturday morning with a bright demonstration showing people how sales improve when you use coloured backdrops. Vanessa Champion ran a practical demo on Sunday, how combining model direction, creative lighting and confidence completely transforms your images.

Vanessa ran a "have a go" session, using constant light (not flash) encouraging even those without their cameras to use their mobile phones to see what a difference a coloured backdrop can make your images really zing!

"The energy you see change in a photo shoot when you use a coloured backdrop," said Vanessa. "As photographers we get into this game for creativity and money, but deep down we are artists, crafting images and shapes with light and ideas. With over 50 colours to choose from Creativity Backgrounds, there is always a pantones to echo corporate logos, working alone or with stylists, introducing a colour during a shoot builds sales with social portraiture and memorable classic images for business. Creativity Backgrounds do a four for three, so an ideal opportunity to trial a new colour with your order. Introduce a rainbow of creativity to your work and you'll never look back."
