Artist-painted backgrounds
High quality photography prints
All our backgrounds are painted by Susy Grundahl in her Danish countryside studio. She paints, photographs and edits every production herself. Posters are then printed onto premium, museum-grade matte paper.
We print orders on demand to reduce waste, working with hand-picked print shops. Once an order is placed, it is directed to the closest such print shop in the area.
Sustainability Matters
Planet friendly Packaging
Our packaging is designed to have as little negative ecological impact as possible.
We wrap all our posters in paper and pack them in recycled, reinforced cardboard boxes.
No plastic packaging. It's a conscious decision.
We're a small team

The Story behind
Photo Styling Background
As a photographer and cookbook author, Susy often looked for posters to enrich her photo styling. She couldn’t find any with the quality and aesthetics she needed - so in her studio she produced her own.
This led to Photo Styling Background, a small company that's founded to make amazing backgrounds easily accessible to everyone, anywhere.
