In the A Thomas Image studio E-Blast for October 2012, I mentioned a new brick backdrop. A friend of mine asked: “Why didn’t you include a picture of the new backdrop”? I actually thought about doing just that, but I was in such a hurry to get the announcement out, I omitted the image. Well, “duh” on me!
Today, I acquired another muslin backdrop. It dawned on me this might be a good time to announce the muslin backdrop, include a photo showing it and update everyone on the brick backdrop. The muslin backdrop is a dark charcoal in color with some splashes of purple and tan. It’s large enough to drop from the studio ceiling and cover the floor. It should work very well for the right portrait photography sitting.
Some portrait clients might like a warehouse or loft theme for their sitting. The new brick backdrop will accommodate that very nicely. Lighting can be adjusted to give the appearance of being outdoors in an alley or indoors near a window. It’s neat for that “urban” feel. With a little creativity, graffiti can be added to the image. Graffiti can be customized to include client names, graduation year, special announcements or the name of your band.
So now I just need someone to schedule a sitting where we can use these backdrops. Any takers? I also hope this blog post helps redeem me from my e-blast photo blunder, he said sheepishly!
