Hey! Sophie here and today I wanted to share the work of Emma @kitchenmason who is KILLING IT creating amazing content with our custom backdrops in her own brand colours.

Emma has been photographing food for her recipe blog since 2015 and for the last few years almost exclusively shooting with our backdrops. 

Her brand style uses blues, yellows and whites (gorgeous colours for shooting with food) making her content instantly recognisable and POP on everyones feeds.

Have you heard the phrase 'always us, never boring'? Its a great motto for keeping things on brand and cohesive but still being playful and mixing things up - Emma's work is a brilliant example of this, using key colours but mixing up backdrop designs and textures to bring variety.

'I’ve had zero training in photography. All I know, I’ve picked up through years of trial and error, and obtaining tips from websites and social media. I used to use contact paper and random cupboard doors/wood boards from the IKEA bargain basement as my backdrops. They were far from ideal. Heavy, cumbersome, and tricky to store.
 
By pure chance, I discovered Black Velvet Styling backdrops during the pandemic, and knew I needed them in my life! Every shot I saw on Sophie’s site was beautiful. And the backdrops were a key element of that. Plus, they were much easier to store. (A must when you shoot in your bedroom in a busy family home!)
 
Using BVS backdrops, has seriously levelled up my photography. They add bags of authentic texture and interest to my shots. Plus, it enabled me to hone my brand, and create a look and feel that was recognisable as Kitchen Mason.'
 

And now Emma's taking her brand even further with a unique look by taking advantage of our custom colour backdrops - taking our designs and reimagining them in her own colours!

'My brand colours were another pandemic epiphany. Conveniently, my brother works in animation and marketing. So he helped me rebrand and develop the Kitchen Mason colour pallete. There wasn’t too much thought behind it other than, I said I liked these colours the best. So we went with it!'

And I agree; branding doesn't always need to be overcomplicated! As with your styling and photography - go where you naturally go and don't try to force it - if you love blue, use blue!

'As soon as I saw that BVS were doing custom colour backdrops, I knew I had to have them! Sophie was amazingly communicative and helpful throughout the whole process. (Which says a lot, as I can be a picky sod sometimes!)
And I couldn’t have been happier with the results. So if you’re on the fence about getting some - do it! I promise you won’t regret it.'

Want to elevate your photography and embrace your own brand colours in unique, bespoke backdrops?

Try a custom colour backdrop today - you can literally have ANY of our backdrop designs made in ANY colour you like!

It's super easy to order -

  1. First you need to browse our backdrops and decide on the design you want.  When you've decided note down the design number or name.
  2. We will also need your colour reference - either a copy of your branding or if you know a CMYK or Pantone ref we can work from that too.
  3. When you know both of these things you can order your bespoke backdrops here

Please note - the images on this custom listing are just examples; we will make your design as per your instructions.

Emma chose to have our custom mottled colour effect in both of her brand colours and then the Billie wooden planks design made in her brand yellow and the Jasmine vintage tile effect in her brand turquoise. 

I think they work really well and I can't wait to see more of Emmas photography as she creates more recipes on these backdrops! Thanks for letting us feature your work and creative process Emma!

Love all your backdrops but if I can customize, I’d love mottled colour effect backdrops in gray & in cream/off-white. Thank you, Sophie, for doing this great giveaway! :)

I think the Speakeasy in Orange would be great. Also the Neep in teal is a dream come true!

I’ve just completed a food photography course and I’ve restaurants lined up ready to photograph their wonderful food. Your ‘Eunice’ really stands out to me and I believe the food would pop on this background.

I would get the Jahara tile backdrop in a copper/burnt orange color. A blush pink would also be beautiful!
