This is by far our most popular option. It is a clean and classy color option that looks good for everything and looks good on anyone. Executives, engineers, actors, and writers alike have all shared this color and they have all been satisfied with how rich, contrasty, and elegant their photos turn out. This is the signature 1133 Studios look.
Light Gray
A lighter version of our Classic Gray, the light gray backdrop is popular option for those who want something in between the bright white white backdrop and the rich dark color of our Classic Gray. Popular amongst residency applicants, students, and companies that are looking for a lighter aesthetic to fit their company.
Bright White Backdrop
This option is highly requested because of its versatility. The headshot already looks great on its own, but the bright and neutral white backdrop makes swapping the background very easy. Let us know if you need to swap it out for company colors, a building or colorful scenery, or other colors or you can just enjoy it as is to fit the aesthetic of your company or website.
Black Series
Dramatic and striking. The black series headshot is a statement. A perfect choice for anyone who wants to create a sleek and sophisticated image that highlights their confidence and elegance. Choose from traditional headshot or 3/4 body shot.
Color series
Bring out your personality with these fun and colorful backdrops! We have over eight colors to choose from: green, red, blue, orange, pink, teal, yellow, and purple! Break away from the status quo and stand out from everyone else with these fun and unique headshot that are both professional and creative. We encourage everyone to bring a prop or a fun top to boost the mood during your shoot.

We offer several different backdrops for your headshots with our following being the most popular: dark gray, light gray, and white. Our dark gray backdrop is by far the most popular for professional headshots. It offers a very neutral and professional look that puts all the emphasis on you. Our white is also a great alternative for professional headshots as it offers a neutral look that is very versatile. A white backdrop makes subject separation very easy and can be swapped out with something else entirely. This is great for companies who want to customize the look of the backdrop by swapping it out with company colors, real estate property or commercial building, etc.
