I was just updating our Digital Creations Club with 3 new Digital Backgrounds and it hit me. I need to show the world that most anyone can create beautiful portraits. I say anyone…but you do need to have a passion for photography and truly Enjoy It!
But, if you’re reading this blog post…you must love photography. 
I wanted to post a few shots from 2 of the new sets and show you the before and after shots, so you can see for yourself.
Here’s a shot that was taken from one of our Digital Creations Club members (Judy Kasper). This was shot on a black background and made it pretty easy to cut out in Photoshop.
Here’s the after shot that I created. By using the Digital Creation, I was able to just cut out the dog in Photoshop and then insert him. I’m sure that if you had this image enlarged to a 16×20 or larger….you’ll get some heads to turn.
Now I wanted to also show how this same Digital Creation could be used for subjects other than pets. You always want to try and use subjects that target your market. If you’re creating a portrait to hang in your local pet grooming salon…go with portrait #1. This will align your services with their services.
Here’s the before image I used to create the 2nd portrait.
And once again, after about 5 minutes on this one…I created another beautiful portrait using a Digital Background.

Here’s 2 more shots that were created with another one of our Digital Backgrounds. It’s called “Summer Picnic” and it works really well.

So…I just wanted to post these examples of how using Digital Backgrounds and Props can turn you into a professional almost overnight. Plus…it gives you access to $1,000′s of dollars worth of hand painted backdrops and props that you don’t have to purchase.
…and yes I would love you to join our club and start using our Digital Creations in your business.
Even if you just add these to your existing business…I’m sure your clients will love them and you’ll start to create some buzz.
Talk to ya soon!

These are absolutely gorgeous! Very easy to use and look great! A real asset to have these especially this time of year. Thanks Scott, you do an awesome job!
I can hardly wait to use them for my husbands dog. Each year I make a monthly calendar of poses of Rugrat for him and he should be totally pleased with these as well as others from the Digital Creation Club
I’m not about to open a photog shop at my age, but I do like to make portraits for the families around here. Your backgrounds are stunning but I wonder if you have a ‘shorter; version that doesn’t cost 25 or 30 dollars. I don;t want Grunge, wedding, seniors but the type of backgrounds you are showing here. Fish basket, etc. Got Any? .. and if so how about a look see preview?

Awwwww….Love those examples Scott. You make things seem so effortless. I’d love to see the fishing digi in the morning for our July special….hmmmm…wonder if it will be. wink
Great Catch. Scott and Judy.
Can’t wait to use this for my son the fisherman and his dog ‘Peanut”
Thanks again you two.
What Camera and Lens do you used?
I have aNikon D300 what Lens should I use for Portrait?
Great examples of how simple photos can become (profitably sold) family treasures. You make it easy to get in the photography business Scott.
Hey Scott, Mark here.. That\’s awesome.. Can\’t wait to get started.. Have a Fun and Safe 4th Of July Weekend!!
scott these are awesome…great examples. I’m still learning how to size and perfect my cutouts, but will love to use these.
Great examples and shows what can be done so simply way you show how too.I haven’t used photoshop much but your digital backgrounds do help folk out without all the hassle of setting up backgrounds and then not being very happy way backdrop has turned out.With digi backgrounds just a matter of picking one to suit the subject
A month ago, I started buying your designs and fell in love with them and have been experimenting with them on my Photoshop. I have a customer from Walgreen who wants your website to get these designs after I showed her what I did with my grandkids and put them in the backdrops and props. She loved it so well. She has a studio herself. I hoped to have one in a few months after I feel more confident. Your designs are helping me explore and become more confident. So don’t stop producing and shooting some good designs. OK?
The examples are very good , however I would like to see some creations suited more for adult people. Thank you. Keep up the good work.
im with james a. i would like to see some creations suited more for adult people. great work scott.
When I first saw you latest creations I was so excited I bought them all right away and went to leave you feedback, but there was a problem, so I saved my feedback, because you just HAVE to know how happy I am!!! So – here goes again:
Scott – I feel so fortunate to be part of the club and have access to your amazing creations and tips!!! My only two complaints: 1. “WHY didn’t I know about you sooner?!!!” 2. Now I don’t sleep much, because you inspire me and I can’t stop experimenting! These are wonderful!!! I want to thank you for sharing all your hard work with us. Love the way you present your video’s and tips – can’t thank you enough!!!

They are cute however, for me personally I am into the outdoor shots. I have been thinking of going out and taking pictures of cute areas and them photoshopping in the child.
Hey Franck, I’m known as the professor on Scott’s forum. If you are not yet a member there, you ought to sign up.
Anyway i see that you asked about a portrait lens for your excellent Nikon D300. Look for a sharp prime lens instead of a zoom the 85mm f/1.8. You’ll thank me later.
I think they’re brilliant Scott and ideal for children’s photography (and pets) which is right up my street!
Just got back from my 4th holiday. Great shots and information Scott thanks once again. Keeps the mind working and creative. Thanks again.
Love it. I take pictures of pets and thats a great picture of the dog. Thanks so much Scott. I have learned alot from your videos. Please continue to teach us. Love to learn new things all the time. I’m trying to get my business up and running soon. Thanks.
The props are lovely, however when tracing a dog or anything with fur or hair, the secret of making it look natural is to use the smudge tool on a 2-3 setting and smudging out from a quarter in of the fur or hair to give the illusion of a natural look, cropping too much off the subject makes it look hard and more cut and paste.
Try it, it will definitely make for a more impressive photograph.
