LA IMITOLA

Painted. Not Printed.

Hand-painted photography backdrops crafted in Berlin for photographers who value texture, depth and atmosphere.

Each canvas is painted by hand in our atelier.
Designed for portrait photography, product shoots and editorial productions
that require more than a flat studio background.

Because your image deserves more than a background.

A printed backdrop stays flat.

A hand-painted canvas reacts to light.

Our textured photography backdrops introduce subtle tonal variation and natural depth into portraits, commercial shoots and film productions. Each piece is unique. No repetition. No digital patterns. Just layered pigment on cotton canvas.

Every backdrop is built in layers. Pigment. Texture. Drying. Refinement.
The result is a studio backdrop that creates organic transitions between light and shadow.
Whether used for portraits, fashion editorials or product photography, the surface adds atmosphere without overpowering the subject.

Crafted Surfaces. Not Mass Production.

A New Dimension for Portraits and Sets

Our hand-painted canvas backdrops allow photographers to shape light instead of fighting it.

Concrete-inspired greys for portraits.

Warm tones for intimate editorials.

Neutral textures for product photography.

The background becomes part of the visual narrative.
