About Us

An Oliphant backdrop is more than a background—it’s the result of decades of experience and artistry. Our signature style—defined by tonal depth, painterly texture, and timeless design—has anchored the work of some of the most iconic photographers and creatives in the world.

Hand-painted in our Brooklyn studio, each drop is crafted to sculpt light, shape atmosphere, and bring quiet power to the frame.

With the launch of our Online Store, we're proud to offer a curated selection of hand-painted backdrops—ready to purchase and shipped directly from our Brooklyn studio. Whether you're just getting started or simply shooting for the love of it, we have a backdrop that fits your style and elevates your work.

Choosing an Oliphant means joining a legacy— of image makers, artists, and storytellers who believe in refinement, intention, and the timeless presence of painted artistry.
