Improving photography using backdrop

 

The backdrop in a photo can be just as important if not more than the subject itself. When a background of an image harmonizes with its subject, this is where the magic happens. Position, angle, subject, lighting, depth­ all come together with the background to create an appealing image.

Below are few tips to improve photography using backdrop.

1. Use good lighting.  Good lighting is the essence of every good photograph. When using a backdrop, it is important to remember to keep our contrast in check.

2. Focus on the subject, not the background. The object is to make the subject the primary focus, and the background a supporting tool.

3. Pay attention to detail. Sometimes it may look like a tree branch is growing out of a subject’s head or a horizon line cutting them off at the neck.

4. Fantasy land. Winter backdrop can literally take our subject anywhere! Use a relevant backdrop to fit the “theme” of our photo.

5. Stick with matte. Shiny backdrops may be pretty and all, but they are not great for photography. Matte doesn’t produce glare or those creepy orb looking shapes.

6. Position our subject appropriately. It’s not a rule to follow religiously but it most cases it will enhance the composition of our photo.

7. Be proportional. If we are using props in our photo, remember that it must be proportional to the scene on our backdrop.

8. Utilize angles. Be sure to angle our subject and/or props in relation to the holiday backdrops. This applies more when there is a scene depicted vs. a solid colored background.
