DON’T BUY A VIRTUAL BACKGROUND SYSTEM IF…If you are not interested in making more money.
If you aren’t a very creative photographer. If you aren’t interested in being special and different. If you want the least expensive basic equipment. Virtual backgrounds is not for everyone…not nearly. It is a creative tool for those photographers who want to be clearly different by being more creative using the latest technology. If you are perfectly happy just being a clicking shutterbug, don’t even think about virtual backgrounds. If you see green screen as good enough, don’t even think about Virtual Backgrounds.

BUYING A USED SYSTEMThere are used virtual background systems available on the internet but as always, let the buyer beware.
Because the first VB systems came out nearly 30 years ago, and there have been a lot of changes and improvements since then, the older systems do not measure up to more recently developed systems. Much worse is that many used systems on the internet are missing parts, out of alignment, and just not very good. Screens are also frequently seen as badly damaged. At VB, we refurbish used systems bringing them up to par and always letting a potential buyer know exactly what they are getting. Refurbished systems come with a guarantee and personal phone/internet consultation if necessary. If you have already purchased a used system that is not working as you expected, we offer service. Call Virtual Backgrounds for more information.

PortraitEFX Opens Walmart Studio Division - Featuring Virtual BackgroundsPortraitEFX Franchising Corporation recently expanded its programs with a new-concept Portrait Studio opening located in a Walmart Supercenter in Concord, NH. According to PortraitEFX CEO Chris Wunder, Cr. Photog. ASP “We’ve looked at the Portrait Studio business and feel there’s a great opportunity here to do something more innovative – something totally different than other studios.” “We are marketing images first, and prints second which is the opposite of what most photographers are doing. We think this is where the market is going” he says “and we want to be the leader in reaching out to provide Millennial Moms with what they really want – ownership of the images.”
This will be the first time that a Studio located in Walmart has offered a full range of Studio services providing everything photographic; from newborns to senior citizens, and including on-location services. They’ve negotiated a leasing arrangement with Walmart to begin placing more Studios this year. They are franchising these high-traffic locations; some of which have hundreds of thousands of walk-by customers each year - to other qualified local photographers. “We believe that home-town based Franchise owner-operators with a vested interest in providing quality, value and service will be a winning combination for consumers.” PortraitEFX made the decision to feature Virtual Backgrounds in its Walmart studio locations. “It’s a strong competitive draw over other volume studios” Wunder said, “and the ability to create local or regional backgrounds is a feature consumers like. Where other studios offer a handful of backgrounds at best, we offer over one hundred, and adding new backgrounds is fast and easy and costs us almost nothing - apart from the one-time investment in equipment.” He says the customers think its “magic” the way it works, and love seeing all the variety they can get in only a 30 minute photo session. The photographers spend less time cranking up or pulling down conventional backgrounds, and more time working with the customer. Some PortraitEFX Members also use Virtual Backgrounds for a wide range of on-location programs; School, Preschool and Senior photography and Church Directories, particularly those programs where onsite sales immediately after the session is important. “There’s little or no post production required, results are instantaneous, and it’s far less expensive than green screen in the long run” according to Wunder. “Many photographers erroneously think that doing green screen is cheaper than investing in VB, but in the long run, VB costs less. It pays for itself in savings of time and money in doing green screen extractions, and the quality is better. Plus, it’s something that sets you apart from all the other photographers in your area. It’s a money-making machine.”
The PortraitEFX network has grown to over 50 locations in the US and Canada in just ten years. They’re known for their innovative product line and smart-marketing programs to help photographers build business fast; servicing Schools, Youth Sports Leagues, Childcare Centers, Church Directories, Dance Schools and other high-volume locations. “The mass-market photo business continues to grow and prosper” according to Wunder “and presents great opportunity for photographers to make a lot of money in a market where there’s really not that much competition. You just have to learn the market, think out of the box, and be willing to pursue the business of photography first.” PortraitEFX offers Franchising, Licensing and Manager / Partner programs for photographers who want to grow their business fast. They have local owners just starting in photography all the way up to highly experienced Studio Owners who have been in the business for a long time and are using PortraitEFX programs to complement their Studio programs.
