Black orWhite
Black and white backdrops are the simplest and most timeless options. White gives a bright, clean, and modern look that feels fresh and approachable, while black creates a bold, dramatic effect that feels powerful and polished. Both are versatile choices that work well across industries, depending on whether you want your images to read as open and welcoming or strong and authoritative.
Grey
A flat grey backdrop can be lit to look light, medium, or dark, making it versatile and timeless. It works well for professional portraits where a clean, neutral look is best. Grey is often associated with stability, reliability, and focus, with lighter tones feeling approachable and darker tones leaning more authoritative.
Textured Grey
This backdrop has subtle variations in tone that add depth without stealing attention. It’s ideal if you want a refined look that feels professional but with more character than flat grey. Textured grey often gives the impression of sophistication, nuance, and balance.
Solid Colour
These are made using coloured gels over the lights, letting us shift the background into almost any shade. It’s a great choice if you want to highlight your branding colours or bring energy and personality into your images. Bold colours are often read as creative, confident, and full of individuality.
Environmental - Light
Shot in softly blurred real spaces, this style creates a bright, modern, and natural feel. It’s a strong fit for approachable, lifestyle-oriented portraits that show personality without distraction. Light environments tend to be seen as open, adaptable, and welcoming.
Environmental - Dark
Darker environments use the same blurred real settings but with more shadow and contrast. This choice is great for a bold, striking look that feels powerful and dramatic. Darker tones are often viewed as strong, focused, and commanding.
