We recently had the pleasure of collaborating with our longtime friends at the Center LGBTQ Community of the Desert to conceptualize and bring to life a unique backdrop for the Red Dress Dress Red event. Each year in March, this event offers a secure environment for guests to unleash their creativity and revel in the year’s most monumental dance celebration, recognizing that having fun fosters meaningful connections. This event holds a special place in our hearts, as it was our inaugural event in 2015. Over the years, we’ve witnessed the incredible growth of this community and the event itself, making this project all the more meaningful.
Our client came to us with a clear desire: they wanted a unique backdrop that would stand out at their event. With nearly two weeks of dedication, we embarked on the journey of conceptualizing and constructing the perfect 3D backdrop.
The centerpiece of our design was its innovative 3D structure. Crafted in the shape of a V, the backdrop was intended to immerse guests, creating an experience reminiscent of stepping into a photo booth. This unique concept posed both exciting challenges and boundless opportunities for creativity.
As a photographer with years of experience, I knew that achieving the desired visual impact would require meticulous attention to lighting. We employed our fashion photography expertise and relied on top-notch equipment, including our trusty Profoto lighting gear, to ensure that every photo captured against the backdrop would radiate exceptional quality.
To enhance the ambiance and elevate the photo op experience, we strategically placed a flash behind the striking silhouette of a drag queen, effectively illuminating the backdrop and creating a vibrant, well-lit setting. The walls of the backdrop were crafted from luxurious black velvet and shimmering silver mylar, lending an air of sophistication and glamour. As a unique finishing touch, we adorned the roof with sparkling mylar and embellished it with mini disco balls, adding an extra dimension of flair and fun.
The result of our labor was nothing short of spectacular—a visually stunning backdrop that not only complemented the spirit of the Red Dress Dress Red event but also provided guests with an unforgettable experience. As they stepped into the V-shaped structure, they were transported into a world of creativity and celebration, where every snapshot captured cherished memories to be treasured for years to come.
