Retirement Digital Backdrops

What is in this collection

The retirement collection mixes send-off settings with scenes of what comes next. For the party there is an office atrium farewell wall with a navy, white and gold balloon garland and a cake table, an emerald velvet banquette in a hotel lounge and an officers' club lounge with a leather chesterfield. Next-chapter scenes include a golf green at sunset with a red pin flag, a vintage caravan in a meadow with fairy lights, a sea-view window with rattan chairs and vintage suitcases, pastel beach huts with striped deckchairs, a 1930s ocean liner promenade deck and a clifftop lighthouse garden with silver balloons. Quieter scenes include a navy studio with a cognac leather armchair, an artist's studio with an easel and skylight, and a hilltop bench over a valley at sunset.

Retirement party and portrait backgrounds

As retirement photo booth backgrounds, the office atrium farewell wall is the obvious choice for a work party. The emerald hotel lounge banquette suits an evening reception, and the officers' club lounge suits a formal or service retirement. For a family party, the caravan, the beach huts and the lighthouse garden give a cheerful holiday feel.

As retirement photography backgrounds for a portrait of the new retiree, choose by the hobby or plan: the golf green for a golfer, the easel for a painter, the caravan or the suitcases by the sea-view window for travel, and the ocean liner deck for a cruise. The cognac armchair and the hilltop bench suit a quiet, classic portrait. More office scenes are in the corporate collection.

Tips for using these scenes

• Size the scene to the send-off. The office atrium farewell wall fits seven or more, so the whole team fits in one shot. The caravan, beach huts, ocean liner deck, lighthouse garden, hotel banquette and officers' club fit four to six.
• Match the low sun. The golf green and the hilltop bench glow with a warm sunset; on the golf green it comes from the right. Warm your subject's white balance and light from the same side, so they sit in the scene.
• Plan the keepsake print. Use landscape for the team photo and print a copy as a card guests can sign. Use portrait for a single framed portrait in the armchair or at the easel. No scene has text, so add the name and date yourself.
