A pro photographer is near obsessed with lighting. It determines so much of how the images are going to look. As a small business owner, investment in lighting may be a couple years down your agenda. In the meantime, you can use our Relight tool to add more lighting to your subjects or to add more editorial lighting. 

Background

We understand if backdrops, props or renting a set doesn’t fit into the budget just yet. But generating that aspirational feeling in your audience boosts your brand and your conversion rates. With Background you can transport your models and/or products to any setting. Ideally, it’ll one that loudly communicates with your target audience. For example, use Background to advertise your private chef services that are perfect for garden parties.
