Backdrop colors

Choose the background color for your photoshoot

The "wow effect" is my goal with every photo. And the secret behind such a stunning shot? The background color! The right shade gives the photo just that little bit of extra magic.

Although your favorite color might be your first instinct, it doesn't always work best on camera. It is important that the color matches your dog's coat perfectly. Some colors make your four-legged friend shine, while others can be distracting.

How does it work?

  • Take your time: You can let me know your color choice up to one day before the photoshoot.

  • Get inspired: Feel free to take a peek at the Pupfolio page or my Instagram for tons of inspiration and examples.

  • Feeling overwhelmed by choice? Have you picked a color, but are you starting to have doubts? Don't worry! Feel free to get in touch with me, and together we can see which background really makes your dog shine.
