You don’t need to live in a big city or have a ton of gear + a private studio to have fun and create beautiful, professional images! I hope this behind the scenes tutorial brings you inspiration and encouragement for your next studio session. Remember: HAVE FUN WITH PHOTOGRAPHY! Invite your friends over, get some paper and get CREATIVE! Thank you Savage Universal for sponsoring this video and providing the paper + backdrop stand!

Pop-Up Backdrop Stand:

Their products are GREAT + super affordable. The 53” paper is what I use inside my apartment (linking some of those bts videos below) and is $29! So it’s a great price point for the quality you are getting. I cannot recommend them enough!more DIY studio sessions inside my kitchen:

    these pictures could of been so cool, but i was sooo disappointed

  2. Yaacoub Kari says

    nice video👍

    My opinion yes it is creative to use seamless paper outside using natural light. But as a final Images, I didn't prefer the images that included the rest of the environment the Grass and the woods. As a behind the scene images they work. I would have in editing eliminated everything except the pink backdrop and still be able to get full body photo of your model.
    I do agree HAVE FUN WITH PHOTOGRAPHY. 
    Always try something new even with a paid client Just let them know it could turn out great or it could be awful. If it works its a win and if it didn't work do not show the client if its bad but say sorry and move on.

    Great video. Love your energy 💞😁🙏

  5. Marcus Robledo says

    God your videos are addictive

    I’ve done something kind of similar- the paper was a backdrop though. She reminds me of hazel from bunkd. Hey, can I suggest something? Have an admin on your photography fb page who monitors the comments and stuff cuz I saw a lot of comments today that were awful toward people

  7. Kayde says

    I personally dont't like how you can see the stand, easy photoshop though.

  8. Daphne van Drenth says

    Soooo much fun this!

  9. Ankita Chakraborty says

  10. DIRTBAGDOM says

  11. PAOLA M says

    "the center for kids who cant read good and want to learn how to do other stuff good too"

  13. NicsPics Photography says

    Wish my camera would shoot quick like this on live view mode. Love this video ♡

    I love this shoot! The colors are so bold and cute. I have done a few shoots like this in my backyard. The very first time I tried to set up my backdrop stand and it was so windy that it fell over and broke a piece off. I was so upset because I had just gotten it. Since then I’ve instead just taped a piece of the seamless paper to the wall in the yard cause I’m so afraid the stand breaking more. It seemed to work out fine here (and for others I’ve seen do this) so I may try it again once I buy some sandbags. I really love studio shoots but I don’t have a studio at the moment. I love that you included some of the scenery in the photos and didn’t just use the backdrop only.

    I have the same brand backdrop stand (and I guess the same one?) I had no idea I was supposed to screw the top bar on, that’s probably why it fell over. 😩

    I love this one. I too recently bought a seamless paper backdrop in Emerald Green and setting them up on a stand made me feel like an adult! Thanks for bringing it to the outdoor… rad idea! 💕

    Do you have a video using flash outside?

  25. mavfan1 says

    If you like that pink against the foliage check out the art installation in Miami in 1983 by Christo called “surrounded islands”. Massive pink “skirts” placed around islands off the coast of Miami.

  26. Jessameen says

    Such a creative way to use seamless paper! Love it!

    outdoor shoots with a backdrop are so dope. If you ever need someone to hold a camera or film b-roll in seattle for BTS would love to help.
