Nightlife Digital Backdrops

What is in this collection

The nightlife collection covers clubs, bars, lounges and city nights. Club scenes include a DJ booth with a violet LED wall, a light-up disco dance floor, a glow party LED tunnel in pink and teal, a UV glow paint splash wall, synthwave neon shapes, an ice bar glowing pink and violet and a rain-slick alley under a neon cocktail glass. Sparkle walls include a champagne sequin wall, a silver tinsel curtain with disco balls, a gold mirror ball cluster, a silver balloon drop and a metallic bead curtain. Lounges and bars include a black lacquer bar with a champagne tower, a red velvet high roller booth, an emerald velvet hotel banquette, a lantern-lit lounge in jewel tones, a jazz club stage and an old west saloon bar. City scenes include a rooftop terrace with a skyline, a penthouse window with city lights and an industrial brick loft with an Edison bulb canopy.

Nightlife photo booth backgrounds by mood

As nightlife photo booth backgrounds, match the scene to the room's mood. Cool neon sets, like the DJ booth, the dance floor, the LED tunnel and the UV paint wall, suit club nights, glow parties and 18th birthdays. Warm lounge sets, like the black lacquer bar, the high roller booth and the emerald banquette, suit cocktail parties, 21st and 30th birthdays and evening receptions.

Some scenes come from themed nights and are included here because they work after dark: a neon Halloween party room, a black and white glam Halloween wall, a bisexual Pride satin wall with mirror balls and a disco cowgirl barn wall. For flat sparkle surfaces to use in a print template, see disco backgrounds and sequin backgrounds.

Tips for using these scenes

• Add the coloured light. Neon scenes spill magenta, violet and teal onto everything. Give your guests a matching coloured rim light, or a soft colour wash on their edges, so they do not look flash-lit and pasted on.
• Take big groups to the rooftop. The rooftop terrace, the brick loft and the roller rink hold seven or more. Most club and lounge scenes fit four to six. The penthouse window and the rain-slick alley suit one to three.
• Use the glossy floors. Many scenes have reflective black floors. A faint reflection under your guests' feet and a dark contact shadow make them stand in the room.

Club scenes are dark and coloured, so a flat white subject stands out; the Photoshop guide explains why a subject looks pasted on and how to fix it.
