Hey all,

I tried to search for this but couldn't find anything specific.

I am trying to find a site that sells theme backdrops in the UK? Beach theme especially, I have found a few in the USA but non in the UK. I know I could do it in photoshop but I find it easier and quicker to just shoot against the correct backdrop from the start. Ideally one that has a train of sand that people stand on. Vinyl/muslin etc

If anyone can recommend any it would be really helpful,

Thanks,

Scott
 
Thanks for the reply I will have a look at those. I am shooting a beach party theme night so was thinking a beach scene backdrop and a few props, beach ball, blow up palm trees etc! It is for the same people I shoot for twice a year but normally it is formal so I just use white or a pattern muslin style etc.
 
I print them after, I take orders on the night then deliver a few days after so I have a bit of time between. I do the function for them a lot so there is no need for me to print on the night and I will be on my own for this so a bit harder.

I am not against the green screen thing but will have to look in to it more as I haven't done it before and would want it to look good of course. I guess as long as the lighting is right then it may be ok.
 
If you need any advice, Scott, just chuck me a line. :thumbs:

You need to try to sell and print on the evening - will increase your sales massively!!!
 
I have been told this before and I understand it is better for sales. What I have been doing is shooting tethered and just showing them after I shoot and they order there and then but I deliver later. The main problem is that this is not something I do every week and i'm not sure that getting a printer that is capable of printing on the night and all the rest of the parts needed would be worth it. Also as I know them well it has never been a problem doing it this way, however I am interested in looking into it so any information is appreciated from people who do this often.

Mark I will drop you a pm thanks
 
I would also suggest that if you are looking to maximise profits that a themed backdrop or greenscreen aren't the best ways forward. The likelihood of multiple sales is limited. I would only use green screen or themed backdrops if the event is pre paid and that is what the customer wants.
 
True I just thought that as it is a beach party it might be better than just having a white background etc.
 
Hi Scott,

think back to your holidays. Don't you have shots of the beach, swimming pool, nice holiday scenery. I have used several holiday shots for backgrounds to green screen shoots. Even if you have to buy a few digital images, it's not so costly, but think about backdrops when you next take a holiday and collect your own images. Good luck.
 
Denny themed backgrounds are available in the UK through LuxS Link HERE

Thousands of designs in a range of sizes, and also available as rolled canvas or wrinkle resistant muslin/curtains

A small number available for hire too.
