Black Backdrop Background
May 24th, 2009
How to get a nicely black background?
I’m trying to take photos of my jewelry with a deep black background, but am not getting the look I want. I am using black cotton for a backdrop and wondering if there is a better material that would work. Any suggestions?
There are a few tricks to that:
- the fabric needs to be something non-shiny and matte
- you need some distance between your subject and the background
-careful lighting – try to get light onto the subject without lighting up the background
- try very slightly under-exposing the shot.
Then, after all that, your background probably still won’t look totally black. That’s where post processing comes in. Hopefully you have Photoshop (use the levels and/or curves tool). If not, you can download the gimp for free (www.gimp.org), or try www.fotoflexer.com.
