Virtual Backgrounds presents its highly successful workshops devoted entirely to the use of Virtual Backgrounds projection systems. The workshops have drawn photographers from across North America and many countries abroad. The workshop enables participants to begin to see the magnitude and depth of implementing background projection into the studio. Composed of lectures, demonstrations and lots of hands-on time, the three day program is combined with helpful information on creating your own backgrounds as well as developing the use of Virtual Backgrounds as a strong marketing and sales tool for your studio.
