Before and after
From white cut-out to styled set
The same pink suede boot, untouched, on a simple studio set: a sage-green backdrop and a cream plinth, with matching light and a natural shadow so it sits on the plinth.
What we do
What can we do with the background?
A studio shot on white works on the product page. A banner, an email or a social post usually needs the product in a setting.
Floating product

- Extra elements added to the image
Who it's for
Who orders creative backgrounds?
Fashion brands
Your new season campaign needs the hero products in a setting, and there is no budget for a location shoot.
Online retailers
Category banners and emails need products on something other than white.
Social and content teams
You post every day and the product shots all look the same. A new background each week changes that.
