Hey everyone,
as i read a post from a fellow painter in the german bemalforum i had the idea to post some grungy background pictures i often use when photographing my miniatures.
Before you blindly use these backgrounds, let me lose a word about the whole background thing.
Some suggestions i have for you:
Essentially just play around.... you'll find a background you like :)
Here are some of mine, you can modify, print, share and do whatever you like with it ;)
Neutral Color (dark to bright):
Warm Color (dark to bright):
Cold Color (dark to bright):
I hope this posts helps some people finding the right background :)
Cheers,
Raffa
Hey everyone,
as i read a post from a fellow painter in the german bemalforum i had the idea to post some grungy background pictures i often use when photographing my miniatures.
Before you blindly use these backgrounds, let me lose a word about the whole background thing.
Some suggestions i have for you:
- Try not to always use the same background
- Try to use a dark background, it's much easier to get the colors of the miniature right and nothing distracts from the miniature
- Most of the time the classic "white to blue" gradient background doesn't hit the nail on the head... it's also pretty hard for the camera to get the lighting right.
- White or Bright backgrounds tend to bounce color back onto the mini, while this isn't neccessarily a bad thing try avoiding bright colors in the background (such as blue) because then the bounced light is colored, you want to avoid blue light on your mini ;)
- Try to find a background fitting to your miniature, a white background behind a khorne champions destroys a lot of atmosphere....
- In the last time i used plain black construction paper (fotopapier for our german readers :) ) and found out it works best for me at the moment.
- When a mini uses cold colors, maybe try a warm background for some contrast or use a background that fits your base.
Essentially just play around.... you'll find a background you like :)

Right now I've two articulating table lamps with daylight bulbs, but I am still fighting the shadows.
Hey Daniel,
