How to shoot black backgrounds without a backdrop | Macro & Product Photography Tutorial

In this photography tutorial, we are taking a look at a very simple and inexpensive technique to achieve black backgrounds in your macro photos, as well as product photography, portraiture and any other genre that has a subject focus.

In this tutorial, we are using a figurine as a stand-in subject, but this method will still work for full-sized portraits, still life, macro and product photography. Having a black backdrop is not always needed as you can achieve effects like these with just your settings and lighting!

This style of product photography can be great for getting a more moody and edgy looking shots of your products for use on e-commerce websites and shopping platforms. It's also very handy for shooting macro photography subjects!
