Studio backgrounds don't have to be plain or boring! Don't be afraid to experiment with your seamless paper backdrops; cut them, paint them, pair two together or come up with your own creative customization! Create new scenes and themes, and add your artistic mark to bring a unique, memorable style to those special projects that require a little extra flair.
It’s that time… when you know the end is near… Of your beloved seamless paper roll, that is! If you struggle to find a use for your last few feet of paper, find inspiration from photographer Ferry Knijn and his creative team.
Seamless paper can be extraordinarily helpful in creating a design your clients will love due to the wide range of colors available, affordable cost, as well as the ease of creating with a disposable product such as paper.
This project was initially conceived for a music video for the amazing performance art/rock band: The Viennagram. For one of the scenes I wanted a space-like background, however, I wanted to do it in camera with lighting as opposed to on the green screen. Our solution was to take one of my rolls of Savage Black Seamless Paper and poke hundreds of holes in it and back light the paper.
If you’re looking to switch things up for your next shoot I would consider using gels and lighting to get different effects. I use gels for a lot of my beauty & fashion work; I love adding a pop of color against a dark background for drama.
Backdrops are a great way to add variety and style to your sessions but sometimes having a cache of every color and type can also be pricey. Some ways to save on backdrops is to make your own. With a little brainstorming and some markers, tape or creative propping, you’ll be able to build one-of-a-kind backdrops using seamless paper.
