Gray backing paper is the best background for portrait photography.

Gray backing paper is the best background for portrait photography.

The equipment of the photo studio is usually not cheap, especially the color and quantity of the backing paper used as the background may be very distressing. Photographer Joe Edelman suggested that if you can only buy one kind of background paper, buy gray.

The photographer said that if the background is not exposed, it can be made into a black background. If a lamp is placed behind the model, it will turn white if the brightness is enough. If you add different colors of film and cellophane, you can make different colors of background.

After reading this passage, I suddenly realized. I suggest that some WeChat business people who have just started photography choose gray background cloth when shooting outdoors in heavy rain!

Let's use some settings to verify whether the effect of this gray background is really as magical as the photographer said.
