Tips for Perfecting Your Holiday Backdrop

So, you're ready to spruce up your seasonal snaps? We've compiled a set of tips that will help you make the most of your backdrop for Instagram-worthy results!

Lighting: The Star of Your Setup

Lighting is crucial in photography, particularly during winter with shorter daylight hours. It's ideal to shoot during the day for natural light. If that's not possible, supplement with soft white lighting to mimic daylight. String lights or candles can add a cozy touch, complementing the serene ambiance of your backdrop's twinkling tree and mellow fireplace.

Composition: Frame Your Shots

Compose your photos thoughtfully by keeping the rule of thirds in mind. Place your subjects off-center to create interest and allow the intricate details of the backdrop, such as the festive tree and stacked gifts, to enhance the visual narrative. Play with different angles to explore various perspectives, capturing your subjects in unique and engaging ways.

Props: Adding Personal Flair

Integrating carefully chosen props can breathe life and personality into your photographs. Consider using holiday-themed accessories like plushies or food-inspired decorations from Scribble Snacks to add that extra festive touch. Select colours that harmonize with the backdrop’s palette to create a cohesive scene.

Choosing Material: Vinyl or Polyester?

The choice between vinyl and polyester backdrops can heavily influence your setup. Vinyl offers a clean, professional look with easy maintenance, while polyester is lightweight and ideal for easy storage and transportability. Assess the needs of your space to select the most suitable material for your holiday photography session.
