Jon Hodgson writes:
“Like a lot of folks, I grew tired of photographing my miniatures against a boring blue board. I tried using landscape photographs, but it made my miniatures and scenery look weirdly stylised and out of place. As an illustrator, with a lot of landscape paintings on hand, it was a natural step to print some paintings and use them as backdrops. And it worked!”
Jon has written a guide to photography using his backdrop books, check it out HERE.
If you want to use Jon's backdrops in commercial products, you'll need a COMMERCIAL LICENCE.
