and save money while doing it
We create beautiful, handmade rollable photography backdrops, perfect for food or product shoots, at a price that won't break your budget. All surfaces are 2' x 3', (and most are also available in 3' x 4.5') rich in color, free from glare and ready for your next photo shoot!
Check out our inventory and please read our FAQ section--it will cover all you need to know about your new backdrops.
Beyond selling our backdrops, we are super passionate about educating and empowering other creatives. From our blog posts and behind-the-scenes reels on Instagram, to our in-person photography workshops, our ultimate goal is to help YOU take your photography to the next level.
Hi! We are Joe and Clare; artists and makers, partners in life and business, proud parents to Hugo (human) and Nina (canine) and lovers of pretty much all things creative.
Joe is a painter, printmaker, musician, furniture builder and contractor. He’s also a kickass pie maker and home cook, fixer of all the broken things and a damn good dancer.
Clare is a food and lifestyle photographer, an obsessive prop collector, a newbie knitter and wannabe potter. She is a master salad maker, a fan of interior design and a big believer in the importance of good lighting.
We have been living, working and collaborating together for over 20 years and are so passionate about what we have created with this business. Poppy Bee Surfaces is an opportunity to combine our skills and experience and create innovative photo surfaces that are perfect for food and product photographers. All of our backgrounds are created by us in our Vermont studio.
We hope you love what you see!
