60th Birthday Digital Backdrops

What is in this collection

The palette here is silver, sapphire, pearl and white. Scenes include a silver hexagon arch with white hydrangeas and blue delphiniums in front of sapphire velvet drapes, a giant faceted crystal diamond beside a crescent of white, pearl and silver balloons, a ribbon-wrapped hoop hung with pearl strands and white garden roses, and a gilded concert harp in a dove grey Georgian drawing room. For relaxed daytime parties there is a farmhouse terrace with a white and sage balloon arch against honey stone and a clifftop garden with a white lighthouse and a picket fence garlanded with silver balloons. For a dinner there is a peach and silver art deco dining room with a round table laid with crystal and peach roses.

60th birthday photo booth backgrounds and portraits

Sixty is linked with diamonds, as in a diamond jubilee or a diamond anniversary, which is why the crystal diamond and the sparkling silver scenes are here. For a formal party the hexagon arch and the harp room make elegant 60th birthday photo booth backgrounds; for a garden or seaside party, the farmhouse terrace and the lighthouse garden are brighter and more relaxed. For a portrait of the guest of honour, the pearl hoop and the harp room are the calmest 60th birthday photography backgrounds. Several scenes are shared with anniversary, the lighthouse garden with retirement, and golden scenes for the decade before are in 50th birthday.

Tips for using these scenes

• Use cool light for the silver sets. The sapphire hexagon arch, the crystal diamond and the harp room are cool, so set a slightly cool white balance on your subject. The farmhouse terrace is warm sun from the left.
• Keep the small sets for couples. The farmhouse terrace, the lighthouse garden and the deco dining room fit four to six; the hexagon arch, the diamond, the pearl hoop and the harp room suit one to three, such as the birthday guest and a partner.
• Offer a seat. The farmhouse terrace has a cushioned bench, the harp room a velvet armchair and the dining room fan-backed chairs, and the pearl hoop and lighthouse garden work seated too, which suits guests who would rather sit for photos.

Silver and pearl sets are cool in colour, so warm skin can look out of place; how to use digital backdrops covers choosing a scene that will look real.
