Front Cover Photo Booth

If PB Backdrops is handling your custom designs, you don't need the following information. Add the Custom Design option to your order (above) and we will follow up.

If your artwork is ready to submit before you purchase this product, you can include it in the Graphics Upload (above) with your order.

Unless you're using our design services, we require "print-ready" files from you for all your custom artwork. Please note that if we have to make changes to your file, there is a surcharge.

Your print files MUST adhere to the following:

• Template size specs must be observed
• Resolution: 150dpi
• File size MUST be under 300 MB
• Acceptable file types: JPG, PDF
• PDF Files MUST have images unembedded & fonts outlined (ai) and all die-lines removed. In the event we need to do additional work on your file we will ask for the original non-print-ready version.

Canva Users: Resolution and sizing restrictions within Canva may not always meet the requirements for high-quality large-format printing. Because of this, we cannot guarantee the print outcome if your designs are created exclusively in Canva. For best results, we recommend working with professional design software that supports high-resolution, large-scale designs.

Again, please follow the above-stated requirements. Any print files we have to "fix" are subject to a surchage.

Request Mockup:

If you are submitting your own completed design, note that the final product may not turn out as you expect. We suggest you request a Mockup (see checkout options) so you can proof it. This gives you the chance to see the final product before it goes to print. You may waive the proofing - but please understand that you also waive your right to contest the design once it has printed.

Before you upload your artwork, please make sure you have the copyright or that you are authorized to use the images or files. PB Backdrops is not responsible for any copyright infringement.

The PB Backdrops Vogue Box is designed with built-in LED tube lights mounted at the front, pointing into the box from the top and sides. These create flattering, even illumination from within the enclosure. Because you’re shooting through a plexiglass front panel, controlling reflections, glare, and perspective is essential for professional results.

1. Use the Built-In LED Lighting First
• In low-light environments, rely on the internal LED lights as your main light source.
• Continuous lighting minimizes outside reflections and avoids the harsh glare that can occur with added flash.
• Turn off or block other light sources when possible to let the built-in LEDs provide consistent, even illumination.
2. Outdoor Use — Avoid Direct Sunlight When Possible
• The Vogue Box is best suited for indoor environments, but if outdoor use is unavoidable, avoid placing it in direct sunlight. Bright sun can overpower the LEDs and create glare on the plexiglass.
• If possible, position the box to take advantage of indirect light — such as a north-facing orientation in the Northern Hemisphere — to provide soft, consistent lighting without harsh shadows.
• If north light isn’t available, choose shaded areas or create shade with diffusion material to maintain even lighting.
• Avoid setups where sunlight changes rapidly (e.g., moving tree shadows) for consistent results.
3. Manage Reflections from the Plexiglass Front
• The clear front panel can reflect surrounding light sources, such as bright signage or overhead fixtures.
• Reduce reflections by controlling the environment — close curtains, reposition the box, or block light sources behind the camera.
• Tilting the front or back of the box slightly can help redirect reflections away from the lens.
4. Control Camera Position and Lens Choice
• Avoid shooting straight-on if reflections are a problem — try slight upward or downward angles.
• To prevent keystoning (distorted vertical lines), step back and use a longer focal length (70–135mm). This keeps proportions accurate and box edges straight.
• Use a tripod to maintain consistent framing and prevent reintroducing distortion or reflections once the ideal position has been set.
5. Add Supplemental Light Only If Needed
• If additional lighting is necessary, use large diffused sources positioned at angles that minimize glare.
• Avoid on-camera flash or other small, harsh lights that create sharp hotspots on the plexiglass.
6. Keep the Plexiglass Spotless
• Clean the front panel with a microfiber cloth and anti-static cleaner before each shoot.
• Wearing gloves during setup can help avoid fingerprints and smudges.

Quick Setup Summary

1. Use the built-in LEDs as your primary light in low-light or indoor environments.
2. If outdoors, avoid direct sunlight — north-facing light is a good alternative when possible.
3. Control reflections by adjusting the box’s position and environment.
4. Step back, use a longer lens, and secure the camera on a tripod to maintain optimal alignment.
5. Use diffused supplemental lighting only when needed.
6. Keep the plexiglass clean for the sharpest results.
