Suggestion for Backgrounds? I have been asked to photograph a Father/Daughter dance in April. It is a Girl Scouts event and is a Luau-themed dance. Does anyone have a suggestion for the type of background to use here? Do I go with the same luau theme or something simple for the portraits that isn't too distracting? Any suggestions are welcomed! Thanks

Trying to match a theme would require props. If you have them, fine. If don't, use an area of the venue and the decor, and you have to bring a background. Gray doesn't get in the way of anything. A father-daughter dance isn't something to make any bigger or more complicated than yearbook pictures. ... Also, a duotone, graded sky blue would do well with tropical prints.

Thanks. I do not have many props but I do have some simple backgrounds. I actually have a sky blue one! I was concerned about the colors and prints being too much for a photograph!

Go to eBay and in the search box, enter photography backdrops. There are some very good deals if you go to individual's eBay stores. I have bought a number of them for under $100 each.

Sabrina, I am an instructor with BetterPhoto, and I have an idea for you. Using the image you displayed here of the sunset and sailboat, have it enlarged super-poster size, and use that for your background for head shots or 3/4 shots. I went to your BetterPhoto Deluxe web site, and your portrait work is beautiful! Kevin
