Professional Food Photography Backdrops

Beautiful food photography starts with the right backdrop
At Black Velvet Styling, we design professional food photography backdrops that bring out the best in every dish.
Whether you’re creating brand content, shooting a cookbook, or running a food blog, our backdrops help you create mouthwatering food photography.
The right food photography background plays a big role in the entire set-up. It creates the mood, lifts your hero and completes the story. Our food backdrops are ideal for flat lays and tabletop food photography, while the wall ‘drops are designed to sit behind your set when you're shooting straight-on and at lower angles.

Make your Food Styling a Piece of Cake
Captured from textures like real marble, wood, stone and tile, our high-resolution photography backgrounds give you the natural look of real materials without the weight, cost or hassle of hiring from prop warehouses.
Rollable, portable and easy to store, our vinyl food photography backdrops are such an easy product to work with. They spring open when unpacked and lie flat instantly, so you can start styling and shooting straight away.
With a matte finish to minimise reflections and a water-resistant finish that’s so easy to clean, our backdrops make shooting messy food and drink scenes a breeze.

What Is the Best Backdrop for Food Photography?
With over 200 designs, we know it’s hard to choose! Lighter tones give you that bright and airy look, while darker designs are perfect for moody, editorial-style food photography.
Marble and stone backdrops work beautifully across all kinds of food shoots, while our ultra-realistic wood textures add character and look every bit as convincing through the lens as real wood.
For bold, scroll-stopping campaigns, graphic patterns really come into their own with flash or hard artificial lighting, while our ready-to-buy solid colour backdrops add instant impact to your food styling.

Trusted by Food Photographers, Food Stylists and Leading Brands
Our food photography backdrops have been used thousands of times by food stylists and food photographers, such as Anna Janecka, Suze Morrison, Cath Lowe, Roberta Dall’Alba and Nick Millward.
They've also been used in food photography and food styling for YouTube channels like The Bite Shot; TV productions including MasterChef; UK supermarkets Aldi, M&S and Asda; print and online food publications such as BBC Good Food, The Sunday Times Magazine and Observer Food Monthly; restaurants including Gordon Ramsay; food brands large and small; studios and creative agencies.
