Art Deco Digital Backdrops

What is in this collection

Black and gold leads the art deco collection: a stepped brass doorway with a gold silk curtain, a black marble wall with a brass arch, an ivory ostrich feather fan on a gold deco frame and a cream, black and gold fan mural with potted palms. Jewel-toned rooms include an emerald Gatsby wall with a champagne tower, an emerald velvet sofa against a fluted brass wall, a navy and gold drape wall, a navy lacquer screen with silver chevrons, a teal bandshell stage with a chrome microphone and a black marble fireplace with a gilded sunburst. Lighter sets include a blush scalloped wall with a rose gold arch, a gold geometric arch with calla lilies and a peach and silver dining room. Locations include an art deco picture palace with red velvet seats, a pastel Miami deco facade with palms, a Gatsby garden pavilion at dusk, a 1930s railway lounge car and an ocean liner promenade deck.

Art deco digital backgrounds for parties and portraits

As art deco digital backgrounds for a Gatsby party, a 1920s birthday or a New Year's Eve gala, the black and gold doorway, the emerald champagne wall and the feather fan are the classics. The navy drape wall and the lacquer screen suit black-tie awards nights and proms. For portraits, the emerald sofa, the cream fan mural and the fireplace have room to sit.

Not every deco scene is dark. The Miami facade brings peach and aqua, the blush scalloped wall suits a bridal shower, and the gold geometric arch suits a light, modern wedding. The picture palace, railway lounge car and ocean liner deck give travel and Old Hollywood themes. For flat metallic surfaces to use in a print template, see gold backgrounds.

Tips for using these scenes

• Add a floor reflection. Many deco scenes have glossy black or marble floors. A faint, soft reflection under your guests' feet, plus a contact shadow, makes them look like they stand in the room.
• Use the picture palace for the whole party. The picture palace holds seven or more. The emerald champagne wall, navy drape wall, lacquer screen, pavilion, fireplace, dining room, chandelier banquette, Miami facade and ocean liner fit four to six.
• Match brass or chrome. Most scenes glow with warm brass light, but the navy lacquer screen and the crystal chandelier banquette are cool and silvery. Set your subject's white balance to match.

For gala nights, digital backdrops for event photographers covers New Year's Eve and party scenes.
