Have you ever gone to the Theatre and seen a play or musical, looked at all of the beautiful scenery and wondered, "How'd they do that?" This is a look at and demonstration of how the magic of theatre is made. Did you know that what you see on stage isn't real? Its all illusion... it's all fake. The presentation will explain how scenery is made and embellished mostly with paint. You'd be surprised at how much theatre scenery technology can actually apply to the photography business. Learn how backdrops are made... the simple way. You might want to save your hard-earned dollars and make your own studio backdrops. Learn how a stone wall can be made out of simple Styrofoam. See how faux textures can enhance your photographic backgrounds.
Learn how to find, or make, or repair "props" you can use for photo shoots in your studio.
All you have to do is to use your imagination... grab some paint... and have fun!
