What is one great way to ruin a photo? A wrinkled backdrop! I recently did a session.. I had planned to use a non-wrinkled white backdrop but had to swap at the last minute.. it looked okay at a glance but when I pulled up my photos I quickly realized how wrinkled it really was.
When you have a wrinkled backdrop there are only a few things you can do: You can keep it wrinkled You can edit the wrinkles out (what most people do) You can use a digital backdrop I haven’t had much luck with digital backdrops in the past. I feel they often times look very fake and cheesy. However if you search long enough you can find ones that look more natural. So much faster than editing the wrinkles out! I will post a sample of my before and after photo using the straight out of camera image (I did edit a flyaway hair but everything else is unedited) and then the edited version with a digital backdrop, starting with the unedited.
^This is the original, unedited version.. notice the no good, wrinkley backdrop and how distracting it is. 
^This is the edited version, used with a digital backdrop. I could edit wrinkles out by hand but this method saved me a lot of time! If you would like to use a different, digital backdrop but don’t know how to do it I have a tutorial for changing backgrounds/doing face swaps here.
