Natalie H

I saw how the surfaces enhanced my friend's photos & I thought it was the most genius idea to create assorted realistic backgrounds!!!

SonShine C

The ease of their use and the quality

Ana N

I knew I needed to buy your studio!! It has been life changing for me as a product stylist!

JG

I started working for a company that needed product photography- they had one or two surfaces that weren't truly a match for the brand aesthetic they wanted. So I ordered a few and it started a complete rebrand which was fantastic. Now they have over 10 surfaces. I have two personal surfaces I use at home. Looking to build my collection to possibly start my own business.

I am a photography instructor. The portability makes it very easy for me to bring into the classroom to set up stations for table top photography, macro photography, and product photography classes.

Don T

THE spring window scene. Having the confidence and word of mouth testimony how well it photographed

HEATHER M

I was living in a cramped apartment with no extra space and poor lighting. I needed a pretty and clean canvas to photograph my items. I received a coupon in a swag bag after attending Poshmark's Poshfest. I had never heard of the company but once I looked into it, I was excited and the coupon is why I made my first purchase.

Emily G

I was looking for a way to take product photos and RS fit what I was looking for.

I have a lot of medical issues. I have an Austin child and a military wife. My life is filled with stress honestly. So it was because of my son that he awoke my passion for plants and photography. I used to be a medical massage therapist who worked with many nfl players and other professional athletes but because of my medical issues I can no longer practice.ince the pandemic hit my son started to get into planting and raising monarch butterflies in which we did. We raised about 100 of them. Every morning I would just stare at the butterflies and watch the seeds grow that he had planted and I noticed myself taking photos of them. Soon eventually bees. We had bees come into our house and would never leave even the monarchs. We had bees on our shoulders and Eve on Thomas the train going for rides on the tracks ( I can send you the videos so you can see for yourself). From that point on I've learned how bees and butterflies even plants are. Their characteristics their personalities. All of the sudden I started to take really good pictures of them but didn't have the perfect background. Honestly I've used everything from table cloths to plates to pillows and I even bought a background but wasn't professional and didn't look clean and cut. It didn't look natural. I've seen your ads for about 2 yrs and waited but now I couldn't. I bought 2 backgrounds. It was the perfect item that I needed to show off the plants. It just blends perfectly. All of the plants and pictures come out great! I hardly touch up anything, gives the right pop and texture without looking masked. Looks natural. That is my therapy taking pictures and seeing how great they come out with the backgrounds. It's exactly how they envisioned it. So I say to you all of you KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK WITH THIS PRODUCT!!!

The company, it seems so helpful and trustworthy

Sierra W

We needed to improve our photos, and I like the setup for consistency.

I needed an easier way to set up and take product photos and Replica Surfaces had super great options at a good price point. And your website was very clean and easy to use and looked high quality and trustworthy.

Elizabeth N

Instagram influencer @mel.a.day. She helped me recognize it would help sell my stuff on Mercari and improve the quality of my pictures for bigger following !

Debbie P

I need food safe backgrounds and Replica surfaces provided that. Along with the vast variety of backgrounds is amazing. I love the design of it being able to stand on its own for that seamless look; unlike other backgrounds I've used you have to clip or tape it up just to be able to use it.

Ashley K

A friend shared your product with me. I was looking for a nice way to take photos of my products. I loved the way the surfaces looked and that I could essentially "fake" a vibe especially when I didn't have a nice background for product photos.

Jodi Y

The possibilities were endless and I hate the flimsy fabric backdrops so I was looking for something sturdy!

Renee M

Im a product photographer and was searching for best products for my sessions. I was very happy with my first one. I own many great ones from Replica Surfaces

Wanted to up my photography for my projects

I wanted a good surface, not shiny for photography

Amy J

Needed a background for taking pictures to sell items

Laura R

I needed a product that I knew was high quality and were also sturdy. I was so tired of buying flexible/cheap photo backdrops that got destroyed after only a few uses. I originally saw you on Instagram (can't remember if it was an ad or someone's account that led me) and knew they would be perfect, and they truly have been.

Erica W

The amazing quality of the boards. They are stunning. And I needed them for a photo shoot for Stitch Magazine.

Jessica Devin

I was impressed by the images I'd seen of products photographed with the Surfaces. I loved the ease, the variety, the quality, and was then blown away by the information shared by Replica for taking better photos using the Surfaces.

Manda W

The demonstration session at the next level laser conference in Dallas in 2023

Brandy M

Influenced by BakeyBakes, Larissa's photos using your surfaces.

LaRisa R

The help your products give a small, "jack of all trades master of non" business owner, who it not a photographer, was the primary reason for our purchasing of your surfaces. As a micro business, I need ease and help in the necessary work of taking pics of products for our website. Our products change frequently and need to be updated regularly. Hiring a product photographer is costly and creates a lag time from when our products could actually be made available online. I also very much like the quality of your products. They are well made and aesthetically pleasing as a backdrop for our products. The photography tips and helpful information are also a big bonus. Overall, your products make a hard job not quite so hard:)

Judy N

Wanted new and portable surface options

Jeremy k

My first Surfaces were a gift from my lovely sister-in-law. They really helped me to get nice photos for my website without having to haul out a bunch of photographic equipment and my husbands Pentax camera. I recently order another Surface, which is fabulous. I had, prior to the gift of Surfaces, watched a few of your videos and knew that I had to have some of your surfaces.

Tammy P

Potential for easy and stylish product photography

Kittie B

I own an ornament business and a laser engraved business and my background just didn't look professional. So I googled professional backdrops, and you popped up

Jenny S

I wanted professional looking product photos.

Bethany H

I was looking for backdrops to use for photos and did not like the glare I had with the vinyl ones I had previously bought. Replica was recommended by another maker.

Robin H

I. Needed a background for my art photography. I prefer macro images and needed a background which would allow the flowers to shine and standout

Lisa P

A better way to take product photos

Savanah S

I saw cool images being made with them and they were very portable.

Ted W

Food Product Photography for my job

Julie G

Bright colors!

Britni V

High quality, durable backgrounds for product pictures.

Taylor J

The studio and board functionality

Renee C

Seeing how you used them in examples

Michelle V

I had tried a photo cube (box with led lights in it) and had success with some of my products but not others. Ultimately I think what sold me in trying replica surfaces were the videos/tutorials on how to use the surfaces, lighting, styling, etc.

Jorie b

Having a complete kit with the corners and everything. Also the quality. I tried several backdrops but Replica was the best.

Michelle Johnson

Look and functionality of the surfaces

Nancy C

I've been transitioning from wedding photography to brand/product. I had been looking at V-Flats and similar but when I came across Replica, it was a no brainer. I love the designs, variety and limited editions! It keeps the photos fresh and pretty!

Christen V

love the images

denise r

The backgrounds are gorgeous and the pictures taken with them looked very professional. This is a product I need to enhance my pictures and website; therefore elevating my business.

Erika S.

I wanted to step up my photography game for my products. I hated the background in my photos. Especially when doing videos of my products. My background which was looking out through a window was not necessarily the prettiest and distracting.

Cynthia C.

Needed a way to take product pics for my website & business IG that looked polished and consistent

Amy T

The lightweight quality of the surfaces, the nice patterns, and the size of the surfaces.

Lack of cute corner in my workspace

Yagmur e.

I saw photos in an IG ad using the Surfaces and thought they’d make my photos look much better

Kim T

Wanted to take better pics

Archana P

Really struggled to find exactly what you create for a long time!!

Jenn W

I loved the idea of having a realistic room or window as a backdrop for my items.

Maria N

Placing my first order with Replica Surfaces was beyond exciting. I’m not even joking. I had started an online boutique for home accessories, and I had no idea what I was doing. I was using the stock photos the vendors provided for the product pages, but I had to take my own photos for Instagram to start promotion of any kind. I NEEDED decent product photos, but I’ve dabbled in photography in the past, and I would under no sir circumstances going to pay for photos, especially with my business model of rotating inventory. But I was stuck: I lived in a 90’s rental with horrible countertops and whatnot. I spent so much time in my house trying to find a single corner that was appropriate to photograph on, and it didn’t exist. Finally, I found Replica Surfaces. As soon as I discovered your company I felt like a kid on Christmas morning, finding the exact tool I needed to solve my problem and get unstuck. I binged the YouTube videos and IG highlights to learn every trick and admire how to do it well.

Julie T

I wanted to take quality photos to showcase my hand-poured candles, and bath & body products. I liked how Replica Surfaces were being used by other makers and I was able to purchase at a good price.

Jacki C

I needed to upgrade my social media and website photos, and I didn’t want to spend a lot of time figuring out backgrounds. The idea I could have the surfaces set up for good was enticing.

Ana C

The ease of putting two surfaces together and the beautiful design to create the background look for my baked goods. I previously ordered a couple of surfaces from another company and it did not match (size) or connect properly. Although the company replaced it in time, it was an inconvenience that could have been avoided.

Jean R.

I loved the look of the surfaces and how it improved our photos.

Elizabeth V

The impressive & detailed ways the surfaces brought products to life.

Erin F.

I wanted to elevate my photography for my baking business

Taylor I

I saw the opportunity to showcase my centerpieces in a better "light" and have a background that would make them stand out on social and in my Etsy shop. Taking pics inside my home proved to be more difficult than I wanted it to be. The XL boards are super helpful for my larger/longer pieces, so I truly appreciate the room views on those as well.

Danielle F

You were recommended over and over again in all of the business and industry groups I was a part of as the best surfaces to use. So when I finally had money to invest, I did. Now, I notice most of the brands that I admire also use your surfaces. I feel legitimate, like I’m actually worthy of trying to compete on the same level as these brands.

Jamie P

wanted fun surfaces and backgrounds for photos

Kim K

Ad in my FB feed

Susanna C

One of my friends had purchased a surface and love it. So we gave it a try and loved it too.

Casi G.

I like to support local small business and thought replica surfaces will help me improve my photography skills.

The bookscape surface became available for a limited time

Michelle H

Ease of product

Evelina S

I was sent a coupon that. I’m a sucker for a deal

Nash G

I hated the light box photos I was taking, they had no personality and were like bad Amazon product photos. I fell in love with the simple but beautiful (and sturdy!) surfaces you offered.

Jenn Z

Unique product

Ss

Mandy’s videos and extra value it brings compared to other companies

Julie o

Ads and Facebook comments

Jillian P

I loved the flexibility of having my own portable studio.

Star S

I first found surfaces when the brand was still called Medium. It was a big investment for me as a solo business owner in my first year, but it was such a unique product and a much better solution than the scrapbooking paper I was using previously. I remember being anxious about the decision but from the second it arrived, my confidence increased tenfold. I was finally proud of my product photos, I felt like a "real" business, and it allowed me to build my shop despite the constraints of a full-time position and a shared living space. It was amazing, and I felt like there has always been a "real person" behind the company. Then, when you switched gears and started Replica, I was excited for you and really admired how you gracefully handled what might have been a tough and complex decision for you behind the scenes. When I left my full-time job for health reasons, I was accepted to an entrepreneurship intensive program at my Alma Mater. With my grant money, I knew I wanted to support you. I bought 3 more surfaces that really helped me with my website revamp. I continue to use my surfaces weekly and still follow all your content, but honestly have been struggling financially and with chronic illnesses that have kind of squashed my business. The reason I jumped aboard the Replica train is simple: You took a very daunting part of business ownership (product photography) and provided me with an accessible, effective, and SIMPLE solution. You have made me feel like less of an imposter in e-commerce despite being fully self-taught, helped build my confidence alongside a cohesively-branded business, and your surfaces give me a clean slate for photos... As someone who has had severe depression and anxiety over the past decade, my living space can get cluttered and I end up feeling a lot of shame in that. Replica surfaces continue allowing me to show up professionally and confidently in my photos without beating myself up for the struggles that exist behind the scenes.

Haley D

How pretty the flat lays were advertised and the sturdiness.

Rosalinda G

Ease & quality of product. Recommended and needed. Informational videos too!

Jennifer H

You were the first photo backdrop company I became aware of on social media when I first started my business (bakery, not photography).

Elizabeth B.

I was ready to up my game and get something professional

Lisa A

Because I am hoping the studio is going help my workflow by being sturdy while lowering and raising it. (I guess it’s back ordered. Haven’t gotten it yet.

Joanne B

I was just getting into food photography and I didn’t like the vinyl options so RS was an affordable option

Kelly Kardos

The options and size available. The bundle option also didn’t hurt on selling me to purchase more than one at time.

Lacey B.

Love the solid surfaces, no wrinkling! Great colors and textures. Videos that helped me to understand how to best use the surfaces.

Rose L

I asked a friend how she did her pictures and she referred me to you.

Debbie G

I wanted great product photos

Arlene D

I am studying photography, and need beautiful, easy to clean surfaces.

Lisa J

Needed help for my product photography since I do it myself

Karen M

I wanted to make my Etsy shop photos look better than using mockups. I can’t remember where I found y’all, but have bought a bunch of surfaces over the years and I have the Replica studio too.

Kimberly G.

Some fellow business owner friends told me they loved the brand and the product. Being international, (Canada) having a friend help me chose which one I should take to best suit my own brand, the type of photos I take, really helped me "make the plunge" and invest to better my shop. Because I had a real person I know and trust, tell me they love the product and it made me more confident.

Sophie B.

I wanted a nice, high quality surface for food photography and not just a cheap option I had to do a lot of work to to make the surface/ background look amazing.

Lasondra J

Black Friday sale. I had been considering the product for awhile but prices were high and money was tight.

Drea

the lessons

JillO

The style and realistic backdrops

Medina J

The photos and supportive community on FB as well as the idea of being able to set up beautiful product shots in a limited space

Melora C

I wanted an easy way to make the background and floor of my casual photos look as professional as possible without dedicating an entire corner of my house to it.

Kayla B

The preceived value of your surfaces. You also had a photography course that helped me a lot. You seemed to want me to succeed with product photography. Your company wants more than just to sell me a product

Emily T

I needed to upgrade my product pictures and took advantage of the Black Friday sale of last year

Ana G

The size, ease of use, the connectors to hold two surfaces in place. The designs were right for my niche. There might’ve been a Black Friday code on my second purchase, that helped.

Bren B

Ability to create a nice consistent background when photographing my products. I have a janky kitchen and a cheap kitchen table so it was hard to take anything that looked professional

Kim S

I'm really great at creating my products, but really terrible at photography. I saw an IG ad for the surfaces and I was excited to find a tool that can help me take better product photos.

Jewel K

I needed a nice background for the models that I build.

Robert S

Photography help

April R

The window backgrounds were unique. Unfortunately, the basic backgrounds are way smaller than other standard sizes. Plus your prices are a lot higher, so I've limited myself to how many of your surfaces I purchase vs from others.

Sage S

I like the ease of setup and the designs

Joanna W

The Black Friday Sale

Kian-na B

I struggled with flexible backdrops and could never focus on making my products look amazing because I couldn’t get the background right. A business group I was in recommended Replica and I was instantly sold once I saw they were rigid and fit together.

Jennifer L

I was interested in the ease of use and that is stored in a small space.

JeanMarie T

The way it elevated products was hard to resist

Jan R

I saw the beautiful ads on Instagram and wanted to be able to take better photos in my apartment. I don't have pretty countertops or walls, so they made it so much easier to have nice backdrops.

Amanda H

Your innovative products - struggled for a long time trying to create a surface in my home to use for photography. None worked well. When I saw your products I knew it was the perfect solution.

Karen T

I think an online ad

Patrick C

The quality and the endless possibilities for use

Kirsten B.

Just ordered today. 2024 goal is to clean up my social media for work and make page look more professional. We own 2 gift shops and a clothing boutique

Jessica K

I needed a firm yet small background to take pictures of my chocolate

Nik W

I’m a cake decorator and the brightest place in my house is on the floor in front of a large window and I didn’t think putting cake on the floor was very appetizing or good advertising for me. I knew I needed a background to give me beautiful shots of my cakes that helped them look not only beautiful but tasty!

Camille C.

I loved the business and ownership , and I needed something to elevate my small bakery pictures

Elizabeth S

Variety of choices and the durability of the boards

alan h

I tried to do a "cheaper" DIY version. It came out terrible. Wouldn't stand up etc. So I decided to give it a shot.

Lorenzo O

Saw some great photos, and wanted better shots of my baking. My kitchen is tiny and the surfaces made it possible to pretend there was space and no mess surrounding the dessert that was pictured.

Brandi A

Needed a studio and was the best/sturdiest product

Lyssi H

Needed a solution for professional looking product photos.

Laurie K

quality of backdrops. replica surfaces' story. customer service.

jaq n.

I was doing product photography for a company and wanted these to elevate the look of our photos

Kat C

I think it was an ad on FB. Simple way to take food pictures. And I love your videos

Susan B

When Mandy was first starting the brand we followed each others pages and I was very interested in what she was doing. However, at that time it wasn’t in the budget for me. Then Kristina Nicole had shown the surfaces in action. In June of 23 I placed my first order and have been a fan since then. I have to studios almost all of the surfaces that have launched since June the carry case extra diffusers etc… All of which are excellent products.

Jennifer P

The designs looking so realistic as if I had a REALLY nice kitchen or floors or some cool design feature. I also love how hardy these surfaces are. And the color was so bright and nonboring.

For client shoots

I love the high quality design and variety of options to select from.

Chou X

I think your marketing is great! I first saw you on Instagram years ago, but could never justify the expense (I am a cookie designer). But, I finally made the plunge and love my surface! It has taken my cookies and photos of cookies to a whole new level.

Jody A.

It completely upped my game with product photography, I loved the options, the professional quality & the outcome of my photos

I wanted to level up my photography. I sell luxury candles and wanted my pictures to reflect that.

Sarah D

The need as I started a new business.

Vivian C.

I needed it for better pictures for my blog

Jenn F

The backgrounds looked beautiful and the set up looked easy

Sandy T

I wanted to take better business photos. I wanted them to look professional and inviting. I knew the Replica Surfaces would get the job done.

TiffanyP

Better photos

Suzy T

Met the need for my task and I liked the variety and flexibility of pairing options.

Molly S

Ease of use and portability

Andrea L

I needed a way to have excellent quality product photos for my new business without hiring because I literally can’t. I’m a start up. RS was top of the list.

Chasity R

I ordered marble surfaces as part of the kickstarter. I was looking for realistic marble looking backgrounds for food photography.

Paige A

I was looking to upgrade the photography of my shop. I loved the quality and options available. I also preferred to purchase from a US based business rather than a shop on Amazon that is not based in the US

Jean B

As someone that takes images of small things I really needed a small studio space with versatility in small places.

Rusty H.

Based on recommendations from friends and I happened to hit a sale that made it more affordable.

Michelle P

Seemed like the perfect solution for my comic photography needs. Wanted something that would be consistent

Jen H

I was having trouble figuring out product photography as a new business owner and surfaces seemed to be the answer

Gayle L.

The quality, durability and the ease of use of the Surfaces.

Patricia C.

I came across your page on Instagram last year. I am a candle company and I loved your surfaces. After, trying different backgrounds I finally made the decision to invest in two surfaces and it took my pictures to next level. I loved the way my photos turned out using your background surfaces

Jason P.

Suggestion from a friend (Gabe W.)

Jacqueline B.

I was curious about the products and need backgrounds for small product photography

Bill W

Honestly, I needed a background for product photos and loved the options Replica had available along with the stand pieces.

Kiery W

Interested in small backgrounds for baked good photography. Replica Surfaces offers a product that seemed to fit what I was looking for.

Darcy S.

Unique product

Joanne V

I ordered the surface and the studio because it was something I felt like I needed. My apartment doesn't have a lot of 'good' wall space and thus seemed like, and was, a good solution.

Erin D

Seeing some of the photographs being posted in the VIP group made me finally hit checkout. The surfaces were so realistic!

Taimi M

Needed a quick and easy backdrop

Robin M

I wanted professional looking photos without being a professional

Megan I

I was looking for more realistic surfaces to up my photography game and Kristina Nicole highly recommended your company. It took me a long time to finally invest in them, as I did have other backdrops and the price was so much more than I wanted to pay. I'm so glad I finally took the plunge and purchased them. I'll never go back now.

Erin B

Surfaces that looked realistic but were easy to move, handle, and store!

Hannah H

I was struggling with getting good backgrounds for my (at the time) jewelry business. I was struggling with photos in general. I finally decided to purchase surfaces when my mix of scrapbook paper and white backgrounds was just NOT working.

Katie H

Need for product

Jenny y

I ordered early in Replica days... my small business needed a photo upgrade and the surfaces were clearly better than what I had been using.

Jess M

The ease of being able to set up a photo and it look professional

Valerie R

A promo code and your You Tube Videos

Deborah R

Type of design/white vintage wood option

Lindsay S

I was trying other rolled surfaces and having a hard time making things look professional. The design seemed novel and what I needed for my small non-professional setup

Noël N

It popped up on my social media, forget when or where exactly. I have a product business, I'm not a great photographer and I definitely do NOT have a photoshoot friendly home (thanks kids and husband). Being a candle biz my customers can't smell through the screen so my photos really need to sell my product. The surfaces have really helped me be able to do some of my own photos - which saves me money and hopefully makes the items more appealing to customers.

Michelle S

Had issues with my ebay photos for years and took the plunge

Sarah W

Testimonials from other booggers

Amanda W

I was looking for an easier way to take quality photos of my products for my online store. I stumbled upon Replica Surfaces on Facebook and I knew it was exactly what I needed for my business. The surface designs are also an eye catcher.

Lynetta J

Dana j

Saw them recommended in one of my product photography groups

Julie A.

I started a candle company a year ago and I mainly sell online. I knew the quality of the photos were almost as important as the quality of the candles because it's how I introduce my product to you. Taking a nice looking photo is pretty hard for an amateur I quickly came to realize. Replica Surfaces make it so much easier for me to get a great looking result. I'm no where near great, but I'm so much better and that takes a lot of stress off of me!

Stephanie V

I saw the surfaces on Instagram and had to have one. My space at the time didn't provide anywhere to take pretty pics of my products so the surfaces were perfect.

Terica J

Loved the quick and easy setups for product photography for my small business

Elizabeth F

We ordered them to use for our media pictures on social media's and websites. We have a friend that recommended them to us and we really enjoyed the idea and have loved them since we opened the box.

Bristol N

First I saw a video ad and then all the videos on the site and bundle made me want to purchase. I've been looking for ways to help me sell product.

Alicia C

I needed to present my cupcakes in a better way. I saw Replica Surfaces advertised on Instagram and saw how beautiful the pictures came out using the surfaces, so I made my first purchase. Sales are up!

Gina C.

I wanted a solution for taking product photos. After stocking the website and Facebook for quite a while I was finally convinced that the studio might be something I would really enjoy.

Sarah P.

I needed to upgrade my cookie photos for my FB page

Corky C

I saw someone using them and I was looking for something like it. Nothing really stands out about the website tho.

Angelica C

I was in the process of launching my small jar business and I wanted something to recreate kitchen countertops and backsplash as my background since my kitchen isn't the prettiest. I tried to create my own and ultimately didn't work out for me. I searched high and low for backgrounds until I found replica. It was pricey when I first saw it so I waited until Black Friday to purchase a bundle. It was worth it!

Patricia L

I was looking for exactly what you are selling for my products on my website. I would looking for professional, fresh, clean backgrounds for product shots. I loved the whole package offering, thought it was a match. Website is one of the best ones out there.

Natalie L

A way to advertise my products in a stylish way.

Miosotiz C

I loved the colors and Kristina Nicole's recommendation

Cindy P

We wanted to offer product photography, and this seemed like the solution best suited for our small office which also allowed for mobility for client shoots in other locations.

Virginia B.

As an early adopter, this was a very new product that easily solved an old problem. They were expensive, but I wanted to invest money in my business.

Sarah D

We wanted a dedicated place to photograph my partner's products, and replica had designs we liked way back when they first started

Kai B

I loved the idea of portable surfaces that were beautiful backgrounds, easy to care for and store.

Carol B.

I don't have a lot of space so having the studio makes it easier. I don't have to set up a temporary solution every time I want to take product photos. Plus I was impressed with the quality and professionalism of the surfaces.

Joellyn W.

I loved the design options and the quality.

Candice C.

Saw products on IG. I have a small Etsy shop and needed for product photos.

I liked the quality and variety of the product - I wanted all backgrounds that would work together so I knew I wanted to stick with one brand.

Adrienne B.

I have search for great backgrounds for years. It was the weak part of my business. Then I came across your products and I was sold!

Jo N

I had been hand printing kitchen towels with my hand carved stamps and had literally been photographing on the same square of flooring. RS made it so easy to change up my photos, move around my house to maximize the lighting and to stylize each towel.

Lynn T

Great reviews online and a need for a clean surface and background in my house to do photography of flowers plus things to sell on ebay

Doris C

Wanted an easy and portable way to take product photos

Abigail J

I had been considering the surfaces but when the studio came out and a sale I pulled the trigger. It also happened to be around my birthday so people were asking for my list at that time too.

Regina W

I attended the Next Level Laser Conference in Dallas.

Virginia R

I was starting a few business during the pandemic selling hand made jewelery boxes and was looking for backgrounds to use. Replica was the company I found from I think a YouTube add

Andreas S

I initially saw the video describing Replica Surfaces.

DoreenB

Beautiful finish

Niki M

Stunning photos. Easy to store and use. Discount code.

Sabrina F

I have a very small space to photograph our chocolate products. The replica studio and surfaces have made a huge difference in how quickly I can photograph. The studio on wheels has taken the stress out of product photography. And the surfaces? No more playing around with unmanageable poster boards. I can switch between options in a blink of an eye. It helps my very fresh photography creativity flow much easier!

Sharon W.

The ease of not trying to find a specific look or background that looks good and stays looking good through many uses!

Tarina M

Neutral but interesting backgrounds for my jewelry pieces that were easy to keep clean and would last a long time. Worth the investment

Jennifer T

I was looking for a way to improve my photos for my baking items and stumbled upon RS IG page. I've been shopping with RS since 2019! Its amazing how far you've come

Jocelyn D.

The patterns grabbed my attention through advertisements on social. The reviews helped push me to my first purchase. The build quality and vibrancy of the product keeps me returning.

Doug P

Liked the look of the Surface

Sandi B

I saw your Facebook ads or post. From there I was hooked

Tammy T

I needed to upgrade my product shots & after doing research, your products were at the top of the list for quality & value.

Sandi H.

I was looking for backdrops to improve product photo images. Fell in love with the variety of options, the quality/sturdiness of the surfaces, and how easy they were to assemble.

Marilyn R

I loved the variety of beautiful surfaces, the quality and the many different things you could use for it!

Shaina H

I saw it in IG and it was beautiful

Maria G

There was nothing on the site that made us buy. The head of Marketing at our company was of the opinion that your surfaces were the best. This was based on word of mouth, essentially, having contracted with many influencers/photgs/recipe bloggers and asking the ones with the best images what they recommended. So, after years of having no budget and making our own backgrounds, like DIY set decks, and despite the cost which was high IMO, we bought a few surfaces to see how they would be to work with.

Danielle R

Loved the idea of an easy at home photo backdrop. Love the variety.

Ashley K

I was frustrated trying to make do with my own backdrops. Often they were flimsy and hard to work with. I saw your product and it looked like a great solution.

Laura S

The fact that they are waterproof and could be used for food photography- and that they were non reflective. At the time I wanted to up my level of the photo I was taking

Jenna G

Jaime at the laser conference

Daura B

I had done a lot of research and really liked this product and values.

Heather D.

I heard about RS many years ago from Mandy (Baking with Blondie). She posted an IG story of the surfaces and I was intrigued. I had never seen anything like it. At that time, RS had a handful of surfaces. My husband helped me pick my first two surfaces and we chose Weathered Wood and Concrete. I immediately started using them and loved them. I was sold!

Jeanette L

Was looking for good surfaces for a client project

Amy M

The amazing quality and thickness of the boards and the fact that they clip together

Megan H

I came across multiple ads and finally clicked on it. I had been looking for a good photo system for the products I make and fell in love with the portable photo setup on wheels! Honestly, I think that's what sold me on trying Replica! It was the best investment I've made and I love the different boards (also the backs of them😊).

Cydnee J.

Its been so long, I dont remember all the details. I will say joining the Facebook group and seeing the photos being made using the surfaces really helped. We have a Jamaican catering business and I wanted the pictures we put online to look professional although part of our business is homebased. Your surfaces were just big enough and affordable enough. I have to say I seem to be a sucker for the surfaces featuring "lights".

Leteta S.

We heard about the quality. We originally did a DIY option when we first got started, and saw a lot of recommendations that Replica Surfaces was a much better option.

Courtney M

Product photography and the need for a solid backdrop product

Stephanie M

I loved the versatility, multiple options, and convenience the Surfaces provided.

Amy S.

I needed better backgrounds for my product photography

LeeAnn A

Before and afters

Rachel D

The wide variety of backgrounds available immediately piqued my interest, and seeing them in action via stellar user review photos ultimately sold me.

Rachel G.

At the time this was a new and unique product for me that I knew would be useful with my still life photography.

Mary B

I was thrilled to find a product that was so simple to use. I was bored with my plain, white, and frumpy fabric for a backdrop. Replica Surfaces made such a huge aesthetic change in the photos I produced for my online sales. The visual interest helped to increase my sales!

Kim R.

Some really great chats with Mandy, the fact that it was a local business, the VIP group. I run DFW Craft Shows and supporting local folks is important to me!

Tania C

I am a food marketer and photographer. I saw the surfaces and liked that they could stand up with the use of the stands. Other surfaces were flexible and would need to be clipped to various stands. The hard surfaces that were interchangeable were interesting. I've ordered many and now also have the studio as well.

Jessica L

How incredible the photos were.

Katie Young

I needed great backgrounds for food photography and product photography. I found Replica when the brand was pretty new and loved the look and options which have only kept expanding since.

Megan C

Your Instagram posts and how-to videos

Sharon H

We wanted to take professional-looking photographs for our website but as a mom and pop shop with over 1,000 different products paying for a professional photographer to come in was way beyond our budget. Replica Surfaces has given us the ability to take photos in house with our cell phones and have them look great! The investment has been well worth it!

Mandi F.

I loved the endless possibilities that they would provide me in order to make professional look photographs for my products. They seem very well-made surfaces, with gorgeous backgrounds plus the possibility of obtaining the studio later on (which I already have, yay!).

Michelle R.

The photos on the website gave me the encouragement to grow my photography with the backdrops.

I fell in love with the ease of use.

Marci B.

BF sale finally got me to buy. I was in desperate need of a dedicated photo space in my studio. It wasn't practical trying to chase natural light in a townhouse on a newborn's sleep schedule. Now every piece is photographed immediately when finished instead of putting off the task to the last minute.

Brittany A

It was their appearance. Sure, they were beautiful and your reviews and strong following were noteworthy. However, the top reason is they looked real. I knew they would be ideal for photographing my baked goods for the website.

Antonia N

Same sizes

Tracey R

The ability to move the Replica Surface Studio to different lighting conditions.

Candace P

The ease of using surfaces vs floppy vinyl backgrounds

Debbie W

The potential to take better photos.

Deborah K

They looked durable and didn't take up a ton of space and could instantly improve my food photos

Meredith W

I don't have a good background area for photography, and I wasn't excited about how working with paper backdrops was going/the easy of the paper backdrops ripping/getting dirty. I was drawn in by the way the Replica photo examples showed people creating scenes that were elegant, bright, textured and colorful, and I _really_ liked that I didn't have to figure out how to make them stay upright.

Clare L.

The surfaces looked realistic and I wanted to dabble in photography for advertising since I am a Communications major focusing on social media marketing.

Natalie J

I reviewed several surface products similar to RPs and the professional quality website and videos helped me overcome some sticker shock and go with RP. Im happy I did.

Jeramie G

How beautiful and hyper-realistic they are. Seeing examples of how each surface is used also helped in the decision-making process

Claudette B

The convenience and simplicity of making a photo looks nice and professional

Jenna A

Took a photography class with iamgottahave cakes and saw how she used the surfaces to take photos to the next level

Gwendolyn J

I have struggled for years trying to get a decent background system together. Something was always a deal-breaker...until I saw Replica Surfaces...I'm not sure how I first learned about Replica Surfaces (friend?, Facebook?). But I know after looking at the catalog, browsing the tips, and looking at the different combinations these were the surfaces I wanted to try. No fussy set up, easy to store and tons and tons of different options.

Carla M

To have better photos to publish on social media and my website.

Ana C.

heidi w

I wanted a high-quality surface that also looked realistic

Amanda N

Sold on the concept - clear need for something beautiful, interlocking, and portable

Alexandria S

Wanted to improve website images

Dorothy

It's hard to remember because it's been a few years, but ultimately I think it's because other bloggers that I respect recommended Replica.

Chantel p

The ability to take better quality photos of products quickly and easily. The STUNNING back/"floor" surfaces.

Pamela A

I needed a backdrop for my senior project. I was making a cookbook.

Iris A

I bought my first order after several Facebook friends raved about how great these products are. We were in the process of getting our website up and needed a better option for product photography so we opted to dive in and ordered a whole pile of replica surfaces.

Amber C

Needed to take more professional product pictures

Kris W

To have a nice/easy background for product photos

Brittany A

A cousin of mine gave me two replica boards that she wasn't using anymore so I can use it for my backgrounds for my small business. I fell in love after that, and I've been ordering ever since.

JF

I want to evoke a feeling from my customers. My surfaces offer an aesthetic background through which my customers can see my products in their homes.

Connie C

Needed great backdrops for product/food photography

Sabrina H

I was so worried to spend so much on a background and convinced myself that I could find similar things to use to mock up. Then I took the plunge and ordered my first bundle! It's been unbelievable!! Incredible game changer. Fast forward to now, and I have 2 Replica Surfaces carrying cases, FULL of repeated surface purchases, special black protective sleeves, PLUS diffuser, studio, and I just hopped on early preorder for Gleason! SO happy I took that first plunge, and so looking forward to all the goodness to come!

Charity T

I saw them on Instagram and was intrigued with how easy and professional they looked as well as the many different looks you can get when mixing up surfaces.

As an artist, I needed a way to display small paintings in beautiful settings for marketing purposes. Replica Surfaces provided a portable, professional option for photographing my work in situ. I have definitely seen an increase in clients and people who enjoy viewing my art.

Exceptional variety of surfaces along with teaching how to utilize the product for best results! Products and education!

Stacy L

Beautiful backgrounds and quality, especially the ability to clean up

Meta R

Loved the selection, and that it's a Texas company

Edith L

I am a photographer for a historic hotel, The Peabody Memphis. I needed to level up my food/cocktail photography. We always used the hotel as our backdrop, because it is iconic. However, during certain times of the year - it gets difficult to do this. Too many guests milling around to set up a photography studio. With your backdrops, I can now photograph at my own convenience.

Stacie S

I love your product and wanted to increase the end product as it relates to my product photography. I loved the holiday pieces you had and purchased one.

Nicole R.

I was ready to get serious about my product photography

Amantha T

The reputation and so many customers totally bragging how awesome R Studio is!!

Desire to photograph collections & creative art with great backgrounds.

I saw a surface that was perfect for wedding flatlay styling that I just had to have!

Julia S

I wanted to change from vinyl to a better standup board and replica has all the options of surfaces i want

Chelsea C

I purchased for the first time way back at the beginning of Replica! The ease of using replica surfaces (lightweight, easy to store, stain and water proof, rigid) were all things I wanted in a photo background. I loved all the pictures showing how they can be used, but also loved that there was a photo of "just" the surface, unobstructed.

Victoria B

I can't afford professional photos so I need something that I could do on my own but still looks professional

D'Andra B

The room settings were unique!

Susan W

1st needed backdrops for pictures of my baked goods. After researching the different companies that offered backdrops. Mandy stuck out! The product designs are amazing, I loved the story of where you came from, to where you are now! I ordrered my 1st RS, and was/ am hooked. When I needed customer service I could tell that quality and satisfaction is important to you! I love and resection a company like yours!

Gina S

I had been buying poster board at craft stores to get backgrounds and surfaces.

I was needing a blank, white, and seamless space to photograph products

Kendra M

It was recommended by a creator I follow, and then there was a sale that “spurred” me on

Becca A

I followed your email list for 6 months before purchasing.

Kandi S

I liked the sturdy material (to use one surface as a vertical drop and another as a flat-lay) as well as the design aesthetic.

Josh B

I need a convenient way to make product photos with different options and I just didn’t know where to start. I ran across RS on social media and I’ve been a fan and customer ever since.

Tiffany N

I think I originally came to know about Replica via Instagram, checked out the site and l bought a bundle. Seemed like good quality for reasonable price, especially in a bundle.

Audrey D

Ease of photographing stock

Belinda S

Seemed like an awesome (and simple) product that’ll make my life easier.

Eliette Stall

I wanted to take my product photography to the next level. I had watched a few videos on the use of the Replica Surfaces so I decided to do my research. After looking at Replica, and quite a few other companies, I decided to take the plunge. I purchased the studio and a few surfaces, I haven't looked back since.

Myrishia M

My pictures weren’t up to my standard. I was originally using tiles and I hated the reflection. Before that I used decorative paper and those didn’t look good at all. I think I googled photo surfaces and you popped up. I waited to order because it was definitely an investment but I followed on social media and was seeing all the customer photos and made the jump.

Paige P

I knew that replica surfaces would help improve my photography for my small business--and it did!

Natalie S

I saw a surface that a friend had ordered and found that it was much nicer than the foam core that I had been using.

Katie M.

The white subway tile! I needed a kitchen background.

Terra B

I wanted an easy solution to take product photos

Stacey S

I made my first purchase during a sale. The price of them was initially a little high to try them out without knowing the quality first. Since then, I've purchased more surfaces at full price.

Heather H

I wanted to be able to make my product photos look more professional without paying a professional. The quality of the pieces plus the tutorials helped me do that.

Buffy B

I faced challenges with messy backgrounds while taking product photos due to my kids. Your studio and surfaces provided a solution, making photography more efficient and less time-consuming. That what made me to placed my first order, and now my studio has become an invaluable asset for my business.

Lakshmi priya C

There was a sale going on and I've always been interested in trying them! I follow you guys on Instagram and like seeing the surfaces in use.

Christopher G

I liked the idea of having a clean look in multiple styles and easy to store

Gina K

My wife

Joe L

More substantial surfaces

Diane V

Social media

Tina Smith

I wanted to improve my product photos/mockups for my own business. I had been using things like foamcore and a wooden tray to create the look, but I saw that Replica had the looks I was after in a larger, cleanable surface, and that appealed to me. I guess the fact that they could be wiped off appealed to me a lot, and then the feeling that I was doing something for my business also gave me a push.

Jessica S.

I saw a video with the Replica Studio and knew I needed it because I was constantly taking over my dining room table. I wanted a dedicated area to take pictures.

Alex S.

These surfaces were recommended to me by my content creator coach

Kaylee F

The images were beautiful and realistic looking. Plus the responses from others about the quality made me want to try them! No looking back - they are amazing!

Leisha B

For an entrepreneur like us, new on a particular industry, we knew like Mandy that we needed to know how to take pics to sell our products otherwise we will not be able to success, Replica for us is a reliable company that offers just what we needed to start our new journey

Betty B

I was curious to see if these surfaces were clearler and better quality than what I was using previously.

Amy L.

I’m a photographer who shoots food so I thought they would be good for business

I saw there was a promo on this group and I’d been wanting to check out the surfaces

Jade C

I wanted a nicer background for taking photos of my cards and enamel pins...I was using a piece of cardstock that looked like woodgrain before :)

The quality and size of the surfaces, the free how to videos, and the bundle discount.

The beautiful examples I kept seeing in the FB group

Christine K

The quality of the product and how easy it looked to set up

Julie M

This brand was ultimately the highest quality option on the market for backdrops. I also loved all the customer photos and reviews. Seeing such strong support made it easy to click pay.

Ashlyn Y

Beautiful Surfaces & Simple but efficient studio

Stacey B

The quality. I tried a couple other surfaces from other companies and they scratched and were too shiny

Brittany S

I was really inspired by the photos I was seeing online and I sensed that the surfaces could really help me elevate my product photography

Maxine O.

Improve my product photography for increased online sales and a more professional look.

Mandy W

I already knew the quality of Mandy’s products from her previous company so I realized right away this was a significant upgrade and would be amazing.

Lori R.

I loved the surfaces and wanted to use them for my laser business. I thought it make staging my photos much easier.

Jennifer W

I was looking for something more professional for my products for a background than the piece of cardboard I was using. Replica Surfaces looked like they would be perfect.

Bev C

Seeing other baker’s beautiful pictures using the surfaces on Instagram!

Olivia P

I have a mostly-for-fun food blog and surfaces were a cheap way to diversify my photo staging.

Erica B

Highly suggested by a lot of peers and I enjoyed the photo results I was seeing from a couple of them.

Shannon G.

I had not seen anything like it in the market yet. A small, portable, easy to use backdrop I could take anywhere.

Mayra O.

Ease of creating a clean and modern setup for product photography. I love the true to life, realistic surfaces and not having to fuss with rolled/printed material.

Amanda B

To be honest I just knew it was time to finally invest in to better product photography! I had wanted to get some for months and then I believe you guys were doing a sale and so I finally decided to invest in my product photos. I'm SO happy I did!

Nick H

I loved how compact, sturdy, and cleanable the surfaces are, and how I could transform my not-so-pretty space into a different style at the drop of a hat.

Kendra B

I needed good backdrops for product photos for my small business.

Jennifer M

4 or so years ago right around when I was launching my business, I kept seeing RS ads on Instagram. The rigidity & light weight of the surfaces and the fact that you could create a table/background with the stands really grabbed my attention, as that meant I could photograph anywhere, no matter what chaos was outside my scene.

Becky C.

Was starting in product photography and I don't have the most picturesque kitchen.

Jackie C

Love the looks of completed photos

Leslie a

My kitchen is ugly. I needed backgrounds that looked professional for my baking.

Sara M

The backgrounds were nice to look at and good quality

Kaila K

I wanted to be able to take pictures of things that I bake

Jen F

I wanted a backdrop for brand collabs and have seen replica surfaces on social media

Megan O.

wanted to take nicer photos of my cookies

katharine c

The customer photos in the group. It was great to see how the surfaces helped professions and amateurs to take better pictures.

MP

The need for better backgrounds for my product photos. Making them myself was cumbersome and they never looked that great.

Christy R.

The need to take my etsy photos up a notch

Kristy C

I needed a better set up for photos and this was recommended in several Facebook groups

Kristen P

The styles/options of backgrounds being offered.

Jessica W

Honestly I started doing more product photography and I was having a hard time finding/making backgrounds that worked. I can't remember how I first heard about you but I remember thinking the little connectors were the key I was missing so that I could have my backgrounds anywhere I wanted them and didn't need a wall.

Courtney M

The functionality of the table

Jeannette H

Honesty I loved how the surfaces looked and how it made photos pop. Replica kept showing on my feed so I attributed to very good marketing, a polished website and the hype from other customers.

Sheyla M

Quality, beautiful, highly realistic

Sharon N

Professional website and photography. The Surface designs were eye-catching and showcased the type of products that it could be used for. Recommended by other candle makers. I also like that new designs are always being released. Access to Replica Facebook Group.

Katie C

Replica Surfaces was crucial in helping me elevate my food photography when I started my food blog. The product quality, the beautiful design and design and the customer service are top notch.

Natasa R.

I wanted Gloss White to serve as the background for my paperback book editions’ covers! The quality, the size, and the durability made them perfect for my vision.

Dallas D.

Love that they are lightweight and extra large for my video needs.

Megan G

Was taking photography courses with Click Photo school and enjoyed macro classes and still photography

Helen K

The quality, community on FB, and designs

Jessica G.

You had the designs I was looking for, and the reviews were helpful in making my decision. I believe you were also running a sale at the time.

Kaitlyn A

There was so much information and examples of uses it made everything plenty clear and made it exciting to start using your product.

Randee M

I tried to make my own backdrops for a while using contact paper on boards but these designs were so perfect and all the accessories that make them so easy to use was such a draw.

Lindsay K

What drew me to Replica Surfaces was a need for nice backgrounds to take photo to shoots on. The variety RS had to offer was significantly less than having to redo my floors and counters, so why not?! The additional services of support & ideas made the investment all the more worthwhile.

Ashley D

I wanted to get a best photo with a nice background

JD

I heard a voice inside while pursuing various company's surfaces that said something like 'now those are superb.' Then I heard the same voice another day. I had already bought some surfaces of from other companies but I bought some from you and now I only want to use yours. They are extraordinary. I think you catch the play of light and shadow in the ridges of the surface texture in the image so they zing in a unique way.

Andrea V

stunning photos

Sandrine Ribeirinha

As a content creator for social media, the surfaces really helped me elevate the professional look + feel of my content for reels. I work a lot with food and beverages so the fact that they are easy to be cleaned and aren't impacted by water spills is amazing. The free shipping and rewards programs are also something that I really appreciate because they entice me to keep coming back. I wish we could use rewards points in conjunction with sales/promos, but I also understand from a business owner perspective why that may not be allowed.

Amanda (Mandy) E.

Filled a need for photo backgrounds

Stephen R

I got mine because they went on sale and I had Shop credit.

Wendy B

I was looking for a better option for photography for my small jewelry business.

Leslie L

Kickstarter

Elizabeth L

Solved a problem: aesthetically pleasing product photos for marketing

Katrina A

Love how easy was set up and the surfaces are. Very well made

Vaidehi D

quality of photos using your backgrounds vs quality of photos / reviews of other brands on amazon

Rebecca R

I received Replica surfaces as a Christmas gift a year ago and loved them!

Kat S

The studio and 4 surfaces. I wanted something easy to move around to different locations. I love the surfaces and how I can change the mood of what Im shooting. The videos provided so much information and inspiration.

Linda W

I loved the fact that I could set up a mini photo studio that looked professional in a small contained space. I teach ceramics and wanted a way for my students to take photos of their work that looked professional. I love that fact that each Surface can be wiped off and cleaned, this is important when working with clay.

Julie S.

Ultimately I placed orders because I thought the surfaces would work for my brand. But as far as what your website did to influence me, the tutorial videos and example shots of different types of products motivate me to purchase or not.

Patricia B.

Loved the idea of a small realistic backdrop

Brandi C

I love the surfaces ability to style my products much better than placing those items around my home to photograph.

Catherine N

I knew it would make it easier to photograph my product.

Dale C

Quick backdrops to photograph my reseller items (ebay, poshmark and mercari) and items I'm giving away via the neighborhood Buy Nothing Group.

Penny S

I needed something better for my product photography that I could easily use at home.

Tara K

I loved the product and the simplicity of it

Cindy K

I wanted a surface that was affordable, durable, and beautiful to take macro shots of flowers and other items. Also, previous to it being Replica, I had purchased surfaces from Mandy while it was called Medium and fell in love with her stuff then.

Amanda S.

ease

Kristina B

I first noticed RS when I was Googling backdrops. I saw how realistic they were and how it could help my biz. I knew that I had to have it. I compared RS to another brand for a few months that had similar products. But RS was (is) waaay superior in quality, variety, and customer service. I also could not find any bad review about you. There were many surfaces that I wanted (literally all of them) but I couldn't afford it. So I saved for a bit (at that time you didn't have payment plans)....and then Lush View came out üòç Lush View changed my perspective on how I could photograph my products throughout the year. I had to have it!!! And I bought it on 2/25/22. Since then, I've been determined to buy RS for not only my standard brand/vision but for seasonal products as well. Your seasonal surfaces literally gave me many marketing ideas for every season and holiday! It's been the best professional decision I've made! Circumstances have kept me from buying RS for a year now, which cuts me deep, but I will eventually come back as soon as I can afford it.

Sarah M

Via Kristina Nicole's course, she was demonstrating your surfaces.

Susan P.

The beautiful surfaces and the education on how to use them won me over. And the mobile studio.

Lisa H.

I saw an ad on Instagram (i am an upcoming food blog), and have horrible lighting and workspace in my kitchen, so I wanted options

Grace R

Beautiful surfaces & ease of use

Tambra M

They had surfaces that suited my needs

Jerry H

Love the way surfaces transport you to an ideal place to show products in their ideal setting. The photos used to showcase the surfaces with actual products on them allow me to make great choices. They help me to understand what is possible and to imagine how my products will look using those surfaces. Sometimes I have been really surprised by the wonderful results using surfaces I would not pick initially! The website is easy to move around and find what I need. Ultimately, the photos showcasing the surfaces in use spur me to buy them so that I can recreate at home. The photography course is invaluable to help move me forward and to make that a reality. The how tos on the site show me behind the curtain and help me to believe I can do it too.

Kat M

What made me press checkout on my first order was seeing the ease of using the surfaces as well the capability of allowing me to take aesthetic photos without have an aesthetic location. At the time we lived in a small apartment, we were cramped and had so many ideas but nowhere to shoot .We had started a business , we are content creators as well and our limited space really held us back from doing certain things. The surfaces helped us to see that we could really create content anywhere regardless of our surrounding and make it look beautiful and professional.

Leah W.

I was tired of making my own surfaces

kerrys

Needed background for flower photography. Loved the easy of setup of the surfaces.

Kate L

I was hoping to find a surface I could photograph my jewelry on.

Corkie B

I wanted a surface board that represented my brand and was aesthetically pleasing for my business when taking photos.

Diana R

Photography and cooking are hobbies of mine. I wanted a quick easy backdrop for food and I saw your restaurant backdrop. I could not resist purchasing it. I have since purchased 8 more designs.

Kathy C

I love the versatility! I started using Replica Surfaces for product and food photography.

Ebony R.

I needed a larger background surface. No glare. Easy cleaning.

Susan G

You are the first surfaces I ever saw and I liked the selection of patterns/colors.

Janna G

I was looking for an easier way to take pictures of my bags and wallets indoors. I was wanting to add more interest to my photos versus just using a lightbox.

Heather P

I saw gorgeous photos on your ads on social media.

Carrie A

I was interested in learning if I could utilize the surfaces to create innovative photos more easily. Having other photo examples shown on the website to visualize possibilities was helpful. Knowing you also offered free videos was also interesting to note.

MC

I'd been swooning over the surfaces for a while, but I'm not a professional photographer and only have a hobby blog. However, eventually I decided if I bought 4 or 5 surfaces I'd have everything I needed to take my good blog to the next level. (Ha! 30 surfaces later) I was impressed with your design aesthetic, educational information, and example photographs. I used the bundle tool to save and after lots of consideration decided to invest in me. I feel like Replica Surfaces is more than a product, but a support system I can trust.

Lisa W.

There was a great sale so I felt good about trying something I was interested in but wasn't sure if it was worth it. It totally was!

Deja R

Oh gosh - I saw them and thought, this is the answer. I had been using another backdrops provider, but their backdrops weren't very large. I think your connection and communication with your audience and you try and answer everyone is one of the reasons I have continued to purchase.

Julie T.

Saw another consultant who used replica as background and loved the visual it presented for my pics

Dawn A

Was looking to improve my pictures

Kandice

YouTube reviews on build quality and Black Friday discounts

AK

Holiday promotion for bundles of surfaces + the studio was rather compelling. I already use V Flat's duo boards.

Liz T

I needed a background and it was on sale

Noa L

Word of mouth

Allie P

Needed to revamp our product photos. We were previously just taking it on a white table and removing the background.

Christine T

The styles you had and the stands to create a backdrop. I now have the studio, but the stands were a key part in my first purchase. I loved the basic backgrounds I started with

Amber M

I think it was a combination of seeing lots of ads, youtube reviews, and being inspired by the resources on the website and VIP groups. I was ready to up my photography game and there was probably a sale going on that was the final thing I needed to make the leap.

Emily G.

Ease of taking product photos for the non-photographer

Jamie M.

After seeing stunning photos for over a year on Facebook ads, I finally took the leap because of a sale that offered a larger discount than I'd seen before at a time when I had some available money to spend.

Kelly A.

On sale, examples of how to use, unique backgrounds

Sherri K

I saw the potential of using your backgrounds with my own products.

Kurtis L

I saw a quality product by a reputable and forward thinking brand. Reviews were top notch, and the collection I saw fit my needs at the time.

Roxana M

I'm in the process of opening up an Etsy shop and I live in a small apartment, with not a lot of extra space. I had purchased some photo boards off Amazon but it was a hassle setting them up to have to then put them away after use. I did a google search to see what was out there and Replica Surfaces came up. My immediate thought was "Wow, these look great but are REALLY expensive!!" So I filed that in the back of my brain and continued using what I had at home. But when I started getting deeper into opening up my Etsy shop, I kept thinking back on Replica Surfaces because I really want my shop to have professional-looking photos. So I researched the site again and that's when I noticed the Replica Surface Stand and again thought to myself, "Wow, that's exactly what I need for my small space, but also I can't afford that!!" Fast forward to Black Friday and I finally bit the bullet and invested in the system.

Sarah C.

Loved the idea of having a quick professional setup for photographing food and small items.

Lorraine S.

I needed a backdrop that looked realistic.

Kristina B

I was so happy and RELIEVED to find RS! I had been following you since the beginning and couldn't wait for my life to get easier with surfaces! I have an Etsy shop and always felt like I was behind in the product photography area. RS elevated my photos and brought new sales!

Michelle W.

I had been doing my photographs on a marble coffee - I was in need of more variety of backdrops and I also didn't want to continue staining the coffee table

Fiona D.

I'm a sculptor of miniature figurines and was looking for an aesthetically pleasing worktop background for my videos. Yours were pretty and the fact that I could use them for photos too was a plus.

Elizabeth Z.

I wanted better surfaces for pictures.

Dana A.

There was a design I liked.

Heather M.

I wanted to start taking my photography more seriously and thought the backdrops would be a great start.

Jasmine B

Recommendation from a fellow crafter who takes card photos

Tonya M.

I needed to step up my product photography and had heard lots of positive reviews in various groups I'm in for small businesses. When I received a small business grant, Replica surfaces was one of my first purchases!

Melody J.

Great products, good bundle incentive price.

Jason O

They're smaller than V-flats which is what I needed in my limited space

Hannah S

Wanted to improve the quality of my food photographs

Gwen N

Been a fan since Mandy had medium boards!

Tee M

For product photography of my blogs (fashion and food)

Sally RB

Wanted to learn product photography. The surfaces have a chic look to them.

Natasha W

Need for quick and easy photography backdrops.

Margaret (Meg) H

The idea of having a rigid surface that I could easily snap together but store flat. The photography tips and videos helped encourage my purchase.

Madison H

I wanted something smaller than a full backdrop for product photos

Anne K

The ease of use of the surfaces and how amazing they looked.

Gretchen N

I liked the variety of backdrops available and was looking for an easy way to make baked images look consistent from a presentation and branding standpoint (theme). I wanted something more than black, white and concrete which I could find on amazon. I wanted unique but able to brand

Tracy T

The beauty and details of the surfaces, the "accident" proof finishes, and the light weight ease of use.

Jasmine G

The quality and variety of backgrounds available.

Christian B.

I need help with my product photos. I like that the Studio is on wheels. I can move it to the best lighting.

Barbara S

A fellow artist was promoting them on her lives.

Felicity D

I started purchasing replica surfaces years on my old email lifenreflection@hotmail.com when I saw how the background clipped into the bottom surface. It was and still is genuis! I was tired of using huge backdrops on massive backdrop stands and finding ramble things to hold my vinyl backgrounds in place. They always kept rolling up on me!

Kristy H

I can have a variety of backgrounds for my product photo shoot. They are easy to use.

May W

Mostly the mobility of the system, but also the size, and the offered surfaces

Cristina N

The look of the surfaces and the recommendations I saw from food bloggers online

Breanna B

Great reviews. I wanted to "up" my product photography but so many backgrounds look cheap or fake. The reviews and real pictures gave me the confidence to try my first Surface.

Scott L

I wanted a more professional looking backdrop to use in my product photos.

Marci H.

It was sheet pan, which was what I needed at the time. I love the quality of your surfaces. My only wish is that they were just a little larger (30 x 30 to 36 x 36 inches).

PHIL F

Needed photos for a new business and saw videos of other makers using the surfaces. I thought they looked amazing and would work really well for my storefront.

Christy P.

Ease of product photography

Kendra C

Great reviews were most important to me

Andrea G

The idea seemed great for a background

Zarina D

I decided it was time to upgrade my eBay photos. Making them stand out from others with unusual settings and better lighting. My sales improved, and I have to credit the improved photos, making my items look better than the other person selling the same thing.

Katherin M

In the past, I struggled to stage photographs of items for online listings. I wanted my listings to look more professional than what I had been able to achieve without a professional background.

Sherry C.

The realistic backgrounds, the easy change of backgrounds when doing a shoot, the size which makes them portable.

Erin Z

I sell jewelry and was looking for a photography surface

Mindy S

The versatility of the surfaces, that I could use them for food, product, beverage photography and I could be as detailed or a minimal with my styling with the Replica surfaces as I wanted to be.

Melissa W

Photos in use, products in use. The surfaces themselves then products in front of the surfaces taken by photographers showing me what my photos could look like.

Tiffany B

I watched some YouTube reviews and read some reviews from your website. My goal was to find a small studio since I don't have a lot of room for taking my pictures and the studio and surfaces work great for me.

Gaby E

Attempting to change up the background for taking pictures of my beads.

BABATINA R

Needed space saving solution for food photography

Jennifer E

The quality, the build, and online presence

Ashley Edwards

im very visual - so if you show me nice photos of your products it doesnt matter how much you write about it. I need to see it

julie m

Staging recommendations and photo samples that demo what a difference it makes with the surfaces. Plus have limited spots where I can take photos but this makes it simple.

Ana L.

Was considering Product Photography and saw your webpage

Michelle M

A small portable studio was extremely needed for my photography.

Mary E

I saw an ad and thought it would be perfect for taking blog photos

Diana C.

I was impressed by the stunning and versatile options for surfaces on your website and social media. The beautiful examples of product photography staging inspired me to elevate my own work. Also, a friend of mine using your surfaces in their photos gave a thumbs-up, adding real credibility to my decision to order.

Christine L

The quality of the product and wanting to experiment creating more professional photos of my products.

Barbara N

High quality, leader in the marketplace

Lisa V.

I heard about Replica Surfaces from watching a video Terry White was doing. He used a couple of surfaces and said where he got them.

I had been looking for something like the surfaces, so I found your website and ultimately placed an order

Janie N

I love photography but was not at all happy with my product photography. My real backgrounds were not user-friendly, and I needed something easy, that didn't take up a lot of space.

Teri E.

After I tried to do a DIY background holder and it didn't work, my husband told me to buy a Replica one with a couple of backgrounds. It was my birthday gift.

Karen B

Seen someone talk about it on YouTube and seen all I could do with it for my products ! Seen the ease of using the backgrounds ! Especially love the Halloween ones!

Michele B

Marketing videos and repeating the message

Juli k

Beautifully designed backgrounds

Yuliya Z

The ability to set up my own photo area and change it out

Kimberly M

Instagram

Diane R.

I attended a camera store workshop that used acouole of the surfaced. I loved them and then looked you up.

Rhonda H

I'm redesigning my website to better fit how I want to express my art and the other stuff I offer - the 24k collection caught my eye and I immediately snagged Onyx because it was perfect, followed by Anchor because it was the exact style of background I was looking for.

Amanda H

I'm a baker and also aspiring florist. So I was using another brands backdrop and they would roll up and that grinded my gears. The options were limited as well so when I started looking for alternatives I found you!

Georgina T

I wanted to take better photos of the jewelry I create.

Cheri P.

Needed backdrop for my products

Furkan K.

Was looking for some kind of backdrop to take photos of my figures and couldn't find anything. I kept getting ads for replica surfaces and thought to myself these would actually work for what I need. I took a shot and ordered a pair and fell in love instantly. Perfect size for what I needed and the quality was great! I have since ordered 3 more pairs and can't wait to add more!

Chris A

I wanted to create more realistic backgrounds for my food photos and heard great things from my fellow food bloggers

Cyndy U

The demo pictures for each surface + the suggested pairings. For business product photos

Raven J

As an Etsy seller, I was looking for higher quality and more consistency in my photos.

Mindy M

When I saw the photographs that were taken with replica surfaces. I thought they could upgrade my own photos.

Kim M

Wanted my instagram posts to look wonderful and professional, RS Surfaces are exactly what I was looking for and more, I want all RS surfaces!!!

Choy C.

I needed solid, but aesthetically pleasing product backgrounds.

Ashley P.

Your product solved my problem

Esther S.

Saw your ads on Instagram and I was needing lightweight portable backgrounds

Michelle C.

The quality of the surfaces and the unique looks that could add sophistication and value to my products.

Audrey C

They were beautiful, sturdy surfaces that I could use for product photography. Far too many other surfaces I've tried from other companies were not made to last.

Jia T

Your gorgeous backdrops

Julie H

Wanted something that was light and portable for site shoots.

Nick B.

All of the positive things I'd heard from Kristina Nicole in her Maker's Method group. I also liked that the surfaces are hard.

Nicole C

I was searching for a way to "up" my product photography for my website

Maria R.

We run a gourmet food cog brand I wanted our product shots and recipe photos to look more professional. I loved that your surfaces were easily wipeable.

Jenny M

The reputation of the product and the helpful videos Mandy was putting out. I figured if nothing else I was supporting her.

Alisha S.

I had a conversation with someone that was using them

Kim W

My brand photographer brought her surfaces to my photoshoot and I loved them and the finished result. I ended up ordering more after our shoot!

Kelsie D

Covid did a number on my photography business. Doing product photography seemed like a good way to work without making people worry. These surfaces are so realistic! I can't stop buying them!

Christi W

Needed surfaces for a cooking blog & cookbook

Teresa L

I'd heard great things about the surfaces and had been looking at options. I don't have a lot of variety looks due to I sell manicures so more plain background is better.., I love "you" and how you really put all of it out there to help marketers with whatever they need.

Ann M

I needed a better option to take professional looking photos of my inventory for my website. I tried using sheets or a light box with different color backgrounds, but it didn't give me the look that I was aiming to achieve.

Karima G.

I wanted to be able to take better pictures of the products I make and Missa referred me.

Kristal H

I am a literary influencer and post pictures of books plus book reviews several times per week. The pictures are important to me and they can be extremely time consuming. I saw ads for Replica pop up on Instagram and decided to purchase some surfaces in hopes of making the photo sessions quicker and less stressful.

Christy T.

Highest quality surface can be used for food photos (even though shipping to HI cost me a lot...)

Megumi T

I've been looking at the site for a while. I'm going to launch my own website this year and I think these surfaces will help me to have a more cohesive and professional look to my photos.

Beth W

Want to take better quality photo

Stephanie C

We really wanted to up level our product photography for our small business. We have limited space working from our home so this was a good fit.

Jenna B

I own an Etsy shop and wanted to be able to take better product photos using just an iPhone (I am not a photographer). I saw a video of the surfaces on FaceBook and was intrigued so I went to your website and poked around. I liked what I saw!

Laura K.

Taking pics is a PAIN. I'm a one woman show so I don't have a lot of time to set up a fancy photo shoot. The backgrounds looked like the perfect solution as I did not enjoy using the vinyl backdrops that I'd been using. And they definitely are PERFECT! I quickly learned that the studio would be an amazing tool- and it was!!

Leslie M

I am a cake decorator and I needed a nice backdrop to take photos of my cakes

Aarikah J

Seeing all the images others took

Susan W

I have been seeing a lot about Replica Surfaces and have been trying to find the best way to do my cake photos and knew I needed to get backgrounds. I finally just went for it and purchased two Surfaces and I love how they take my photos to the next level but they are a little hard to make sure it's all in the photo without cutting something out.

Khrysta N

I wanted professional product photographs. I follow laser designers and they raved over the Surfaces.

Jennifer G

I wanted to improve my Etsy store product photos and loved the variety and quality of surfaces on the Replica website.

Kathy F

I first visited the website because I knew having some kind of background for my product pictures would take them to the next level. Actually building my bundle and seeing how easy it made the decision process secured me as a customer. The bundling tool really took out the guess work trying to match two surfaces to match my vision and is probably the reason I've never needed to return a surface.

Chantel S.

I wanted my photos to stand out

Renita M

To make my photos look professional

Amy M

Great idea for background in photography

Patti B

I run an Etsy shop, which means I'm always trying to improve my product photos. I initially started out using vinyl backdrops that roll up, but I always hated how they would curl and wouldn't always lay completely flat. This ended up adding more time to my editing time as I'd have to Photoshop bumps out. When I had initially shopped around for backdrops/surfaces for my photos, I wasn't sure if I was ready to invest more money in something like Replica Surfaces, but after getting frustrated with my vinyl backdrops, I realized it was worth it to spend more to get Surfaces and placed my first order.

Sara S

The dark look was right for my products. The boards looked sturdy and long lasting.

Andrea l

I did a search on "product photography backdrops" and clicked on a few of the results. Your website and YouTube videos stood out above others. It also helped that I saved money on my first purchase with you discount codes for providing my contact info.

Glenn U

I love the selection of textures you offer! They are so realistic and easy to manage.

Robyn G

I needed a clean white background and surface for a clent's product shot. As the item was to be sold on Amazon a true white background is required -- it was far more time efficient to shoot on true white -- provided by RS gloss white -- then to shoot and then isolate in post.

Marilyn G

Liked the idea of the product for photoshoots for my business

Zarina P

The beautiful background designs to elevate my photography product photos

Myra B

It was a while ago, but I think I saw an ad on Instagram.

Bettina O.

Examples of how pictures can be styled

Gabriella T

The surfaces, the whole concept and ease of photography

Aimee J

I needed something other than just a plain white background for my knitting and crochet crochet tutorial videos. I saw the garden window and thought it was just perfect.

Kendra S

I needed surfaces for food photography and I found a couple of surfaces that met my expectations.

Suma S

I was sick of using poster board and foam board for makeshift backdrops and started out with the white ones first. That's all I used for a year but they had already helped me level up my photos and once I purchased a few colored backdrops I really felt a shift in my overall work and marketing.

Cassandra E

I needed an easy way to photograph my soaps and lotions so my website was consistent. I needed it to be easy to store, easy to use, and high quality. Customer service is always a pain point for me, so good reviews for the CS plus good experiences with issues is a critical factor in my purchase decision. I do wish there were a phone number, I have had a couple issues which would have settled faster if there were a phone number. But if it is routed to another country, then it would not be satisfactory. I saw the photo course as reasonably priced, and so far like the course. I would like to see a few more choices in the vault for the discontinued boards.

Erin S

I had been on the fence for a while because of the prices. I finally caved when I saw a set together and knew I would be able to use it over and over.

Carol D

The educational Materials Available on social media

Jennifer N.

The designs were aligned to our marketing needs.

Luanne O

Was aware of your company and then soon after needed to take pictures for a small business and knew immediately your surfaces were going to work great

Amy C

I was looking for compact backdrops that were high quality and not flimsy vinyl that would likely arrive wrinkled

Kaylyn S

I was an OG Kickstarter backer! I had been looking for a sturdy, durable, portable product photography background for a long while. When I stumbled across Replica on Kickstarter, I knew these would be brilliant and life changing!

Kate F

You had a background that I've been looking for but couldn't find.

Ebonee B.

I had heavy back drops but I wanted to try something new

Megan R

I needed a large photo back drop. Your website showed ideas of how to use the boards and style items for photos

Julie c

I have used a similar company Erickson Surfaces in the past, but I was disappointed with the quality (surfaces arrived with chipped wood and paint), considering the price I paid. Replica was a breath of fresh of air!

HilLesha O.

Wanted to try another company for surface options.

Robert P.

The quality of the photos for my products. Different scenes provided.

Sarita W

I have an extensive photography background (training since high school with a BFA concentrating in photography), yet I don't work as Photographer. I've stayed very involved in photography, yet, space had always been an issue. Being trained in the traditional sense with traditional background stands and large backgrounds (more for humans) and even the small ones still too large for my space... any sort of tabletop work was always difficult for me. My job rules my life (I'm a coordinator in the film industry) and with much of my work from home, my small space's surfaces cannot be consumed with photography projects. I saw Replica Surfaces quite some time before I took the plunge as I still didn't know how it would work for me as I needed a place to be able to set them up. I guess I missed the debut of the Studio as I did not see when it first released.... once I did see it. That was the thing that made me finally pull the trigger. The Replica Studio is this amazing product that lets me have my set-ups, tests or whatever I'm working on and move it around to either a better window for natural light, more room or to just get it the heck out of my way (and even leave things set-up to some degree). Is the Replica Studio perfect? No.. but I love it! Are there improvements, I'd love to see, Yes! All in all, I'm extremely happy with the investment in it and in my Replica Surfaces. The Studio is just a fantastic tool for anyone with limited space. Not to mention, my favorite part... it lets you focus on what is important (pun intended), your setup and not worrying about what your background set-up is going to be, how it's going to work, what you are going to use for the actual background and so on. It just takes a ton of frustration out of the photography equation and was a total no brainer when I saw it!

Gina S.

I had been following you on social media for quite a while. I really liked the professional look of the surfaces and how they made others photos stand out. Being a jewelry base business, I have been looking for Waze to improve my photos on my website. I have been dreaming in your catalog for quite a while for various surfaces and finally settled on four, gloss, black, all white, and was really excited when cascade came out when I was doing my ordering, I also have a glass surface. Your website was really easy to maneuver and check out process was easy. I also spent a lot of time reviewing your how-to and checking out your YouTube videos. I really appreciate the ease of finding these items on your website.

Cheryl B.

Before I discovered Replica Surfaces I'd purchased several backgrounds/surfaces on Amazon. The quality was poor and sometimes the surfaces themselves were physically flawed. Before I considered purchasing something else, though, I really wanted to find a mobile studio so I could chase the light in my house throughout the day. Putting one together with existing equipment was possible, but clunky. When I googled what others were doing I came across the Studio setup and knew it was what I needed. The beautiful, high quality surfaces made the investment that much more worthwhile.

Joann S

I saw the transformation of others' product photos, and I really liked the training videos.

Sandra M

Quality of product

Dee A.

Needed a better way to showcase my art

Jeanne P.

Liked the window views for photographing my stained glass pieces when it is winter, so that I can have a summer scene. Also really liked the little stands that hold them together

Anne H

YouTube videos, tutorials, and recommendations from trusted photography coach

Samantha H

I wanted to upgrade my product photography

Karen C

As a new business I was struggling with how to best photograph and showcase my baked goods. Your surfaces are beautiful, creative and diverse. People and customers believe that I hired professional photographers.

Margo B

The variety and quality I read about online

Tina D

I wanted something that would make my photos look like they were done by a professional for my Etsy shop.

Kathy B

It was so long ago it's hard to remember! I loved that it was a board that I could take anywhere and I could have a consistent backdrop for all my photos. And that they're sturdy!

Heather R

I wanted to take more professional pictures for my shop

Kathy S

I was looking for some backdrops to take pictures for my food blog and I saw a post on Instagram about Replica Surfaces. They seemed perfect, so I ordered a few during a sale and I've loved them since!

Chelsey S

The realistic effect of the surfaces and the "promise" that it made that I could use it quickly to set up some product shots (mainly wedding details) that using actual wedding surfaces in cloth/linen/velvet were getting ruined by the wet roses/bouquets or dirty each use.

Johanna J

The great selection of surfaces paired with quality and price.

Adam K

Using my own backdrops of cloth or poster board was cumbersome and clunky. Setup took way too long. Things kept falling over. I wanted something easy to set up, rigid and portable to create my scenes. I didn't want to work so hard to create beautiful photos. Replica surfaces fit the bill.

Shannon G

Wanting to improve my photos... recommended by Kristina Nicole

Audrey F

The surfaces I've purchased help me with my mini photo studio... I purchased the RS Studio to make setups easier (and it has done that in spades)

Jane W

I needed sturdy and reliable backdrops for product photography

Traci L

Saw the ad on Facebook, researched the product and ordered two surfaces

Harry H

Before I placed my first RS order, I was depressed because none of my pictures looked appealing and I was ready to give up on my passion. I had been following RS for a short while and decided to take the plunge. I sent my first picture with my new replica surface to a friend for feedback and the first response I received was, "Did you hire someone for these professional shots?" Never heard a better compliment until then.

Kausalya G

I needed something to motivate me to take better product photos. Investing in a bundle made me want to try harder to be proud of the photos I take (and now I am!)

Meghan S

My images were bad, low light, boring surfaces, needed new camera. I really needed a background that was not a white towel.

Barbara H

Once I had enough money to purchase and also that you can pay over time with Shop Pay in 4 installments also made it a lot easier for me to purchase.

Hope H

Wanted to shoot product promotional photos for social media.

Meghan S

The background choices, the quality and the price point.

Derek D

Professional photos for luxury hotel and restaurants

Amy V

Frustration with taking product photos

Amy M

Seeing how the surfaces could help elevate my products

Amanda K

Having a consistent photo setup but with a variety of aesthetics to use as needed.

Heather B

Wanted to take better cake photos

Angel C

It was quite a while ago, I'm not sure! I'd been using small surfaces for inside a light box and I wanted something larger for larger pieces of artwork.

Beth C

I wanted to take product photos and saw your ad on IG

Dan W

I had seen the ads on Instagram for a while and was looking for a solution to my photography needs. I wanted to improve the quality of my photos and be able to create beautiful scenes. I began learning more about the Surfaces, reading reviews, and following the RS account to see if this might be a good fit for me. I was so impressed with the quality of the Surfaces when I got my first batch. I was hooked. Then I got my sister hooked on them too.

Michal C

Seeing that bundles were available. Offering different size surfaces regular and XL

Karissa R

The need for professional background for my products.

Catharine A

Needed to update my website and colored/decorative surfaces were more popular than white/gray/etc basic backgrounds

Kiyomi D

I've watched a lot of your YouTube videos on how to style and get the most out of the surfaces. Seeing other users in the Facebook group also helped. I was able to narrow down what I really needed to start. I bought on a Black Friday sale which brought the price within reach for me personally.

Lisa J

I wanted new surfaces to use for my photography business and the stands sold me. Before, I would prop my surfaces from other companies up with random objects. The quality and unique variety of designs were unlike other companies as well.

Jaleesa H.

Quality of the "replica" of concrete, cement, etc

Laura R

I want to make my photos as professional looking as possible by having the surfaces and only by using my iPhone.

Maricar M.

I need good surfaces to take my product photos. Replica has been highly recommended by other vendors. I was surprised how light they are. I do wish the location of the stands in the box was more intuitive. These are rather expensive though. In the end, it was discounts being offered that made me choose because there are other options elsewhere. With the discounts offered, it took about 40% off and that's a big deal when you're as small as I am trying to make ends meet.

Melissa G

I loved the idea of a rolling studio... so I bought into your ecosystem to get the most out of that investment. Also, I ALWAYS shoot with single color backdrops- but thanks to you, I can change the scenery without leaving my basement

Alain F.

Other friends/community satisfaction

Crystal A

Great reviews, YouTube videos showing how wonderful they are and seeing the AMAZING product photos they produce

Kasey M

Testimonial from a friend. I also liked that the surfaces are not flimsy.

Laura L

The gallery of photos showing how beautiful photography can be using the surfaces and the videos of how easy it is to use and swap surfaces.

Colleen M.

A food photographer made a post about your products

Maria C

I loved the portable way these are set up. From first look, I was like yeah I could set them up anywhere...

Heather D

Beautiful surfaces that solved a huge problem for me. Your products showcase my artwork perfectly.

Angela W.

Needed help taking professional-looking photos for Etsy shop

Jamie D

As a gourmet food business, I was searching for consistent and manageable photo options. I ultimately chose Replica for the size (making it flexible to transport across two locations), completely wipeable, and beautiful designs!

Kim W

Christmas sale. Looked for almost a year before I could afford the order.

Erica C

I needed a sturdy backing for my product photos.

Irene M

Looking to upgrade from DIY or makeshift backdrops, especially when I reached the point where I made it a goal to monetize my blog and start marketing my services

Cara H

A few years ago I had been eyeing some surfaces, thinking they would be super helpful for me to take photos of some of my art and crafts to sell. I showed them to my husband and he's the one that took the plunge and bought me the studio (you had just recently released it) and several surfaces during one of the big sales, either Black Friday or Christmas, I can't remember which. We looked for more affordable options, but Replica had the best looking surfaces, best selection and the community is great.

Letitia C

Wanting to up photo game at home for my biz- wanting lighter weight backdrops than slabs from Home Depot I had been using

Kara S

I wanted to take amazing product photos

Danielle P

Instruction and beautiful surfaces for a beginner

Shannon C

I wanted a clean, appealing surface to take pictures of items for sale. I tried many on Amazon and they were never quite good enough.

Maryann B

I needed consistent backgrounds for filming my content and started noticing what other people were using... the best ones I noticed were always Replica!

Angie A

My first order was as part of the Kickstarter campaign a few years ago. I wanted to order because the Surfaces looked so realistic and were something new compared to the lackluster rolls of paper or cardboard "backdrops" that were typical of the time.

Meagan M

I needed something to use as a background for product picks and a friend recommended you.

Maureen F

Video and real-life reviews of people using them with their honest/true feedback. Plus the general look and feel of them, then I got one and had to have more. Though I find myself, for my product, using the same ones over and over.

Michelle T

I needed a setup for photographing my crochet stuffed animals so I ordered the studio, several boards, and the case to keep it all together. I really like the designs of the boards for what I do.

Ashlee C

Wanting professional-looking backgrounds.

Tabetha S

Wanted clean background for photos

Mary F

I'm not a photographer. At all. But run a small business so needed to up my game with product photography.

Looking for backdrops for pictures

Brandy C

The design of the surface

Rose M

Something I needed, good reviews, unique surfaces

Valarie S

I wanted to be able to get good pictures of the handbags I make. I give them away or to orgs for fundraisers, so it's nice to have good pics to remember them by. I did end up testing for one bag designer and was able to provide great pics for her website.

Rachel C

I loved the selection of surfaces to choose from, and the quality seemed so lovely.

Kait C.

I first learned of RS through an influencer and saw that they are sturdy and I loved the different designs.

Diana D.

Reviews

Mary OBrien

I needed a new surface for food photography

Elise C

Previously I made my own surfaces out of materials from Home Depot. Your options were lighter weight.

Alexis P.

A friend was using your surfaces. She was having much better luck taking product photos with it than anything else. I needed something sturdy and clean that I could use to begin branding my photos.

Emily K

I am a wedding photographer and was looking for mats for my detail flat lays. I loved that yours have stands to connect two surfaces allowing for a backdrop. Also they are easy to clean.

Colleen Q

I take photos of my handcrafted cards and needed to up my photography game. I discovered Replica on Instagram and loved the look of realistic-looking surfaces for my flat lays.

Marie M

I was looking for a way to have better product photos and came across your items and fell in love...

Rachel H.

I needed a consistent background for my product listings that was easy to set up and move around. I was also looking for a simple yet interesting texture and found all of that with Replica surfaces.

Jessica L

I liked how you staged products using the Surfaces and wanted to create some myself.

Kimberly D

I first found Replica's website through Instagram and then when I hit the website was blown away by the product photos.

Sara V

The styles, quality, and durability of the background

Brenda F

Facebook ad and the background surface was beautiful

Deb W

That they were hard boards

Courtney A.

Referral from other jewelry sellers. Desire for a more professional, consistent background

Emily Z

Was looking for backdrops that would be easy to use and high quality. I have over ten now and find the quality great. Liked them so much purchased a studio. Recently but the upgrade kit for the XL size. Quality and ease of use makes it worth it.

Dennis N

I wanted to level up my product photography.

Justin F

Saw how it was used by others in my field

Jolene T

Quality, style, portability, ease of use

Annie F

The innovative backgrounds drew me in. The price was a shocker at first so I waited to order until there was a good sale. After that, I KNEW why I needed these surfaces - the difference between yours and what I was ordering from Amazon was vast! Now I'm drawn to the designs that work best with my product which was nearly impossible to photograph before Replica!

Lee W

I was just really curious about how good and realistic the surfaces would be in practice. Social media can be deceiving, so I ultimately just decided to try it for myself. The one surface that finally got me to order though was one that I really wanted to try the most, and one I thought I could use for multiple situations.

Denielle B.

I saw an ad on Facebook or Instagram years ago and joined the Facebook group. I loved that I'm local to DFW as I try to support small business when I can. I loved the quality and the unique product

Jena J

I needed help taking good pictures

Thembi J

I read all the great comments on how people's business grew when they got a surface

Priscilla F

I believe I first saw some Facebook ads and it was perfect timing since I wanted Surfaces specifically for my flat lays and the option to change the background up as often as I want. I loved the bundling option when I finally visited the site! Once my order came, everything was well packaged, the quality was great, and I came back for more!

Mary V

A video I saw with Mandy

Ilan Ronen

Beautiful surfaces and ease of use

Tina T

Sean C.

Wife's photography passion

Greg S

Needed some backdrops for product photos.

Jill H

Seeing your surfaces in someone's Instagram post! I was sooooo happy to know I wouldn't have to do major remodeling in my kitchen!

Jennifer G

Photo realistic surfaces that were wipeable (because I often make a mess)! Also the educational side of your business, helping us become better photographers.

Tasha K

I bought at the very beginning and was intrigued by both the lower pricing and the size and weight of it (thinner, lighter, and didn't take up as much room).

Taryn S.

Wanted to take more professional-looking pictures of our products

Isabel D

I was impressed by the surfaces and the brand in general!

Kat M

I always struggled with finding a place to stage photos for my cookie business. I really loved the studio that I could move out of the way, but keep staged. It is also nice that I can move it to wherever the sun is shining! I wavered for several months as it was a big purchase, but pulled the trigger during the BF sale.

Laura D

I wanted to take better photos of food I was making...just for me. I thought about my purchase for a long time and finally decided to buy a few.

Lynn N.

Matte look, variety of backgrounds to choose from

Jennifer F

I love the look of your product and your advertising caught my attention. Also, an extra bonus to be able to support a woman-owned business!

Kaitlyn C.

The quality of the items being sold.

Jason H

Surface Studio and starter Surfaces

Vicky H.

How big the surface was and the product pictures you all took with body care products played a huge role since I use them for my body care business.

Ariell A.

I felt the deal was affordable and I have a business need. That is ultimately made me from a lurker to a buyer

Peggy C

Firm backdrops as opposed to flimsy. The backgrounds are also unique.

Bridgette M

We needed an easy and professional solution for our product photos backgrounds and set up.

Carol L

How much quality and thought went into the products. I love the FB group and really appreciate how active you all are there in supporting us, answering questions, and delivering on what we need.

Britney T.

Ease of use, cleaning, available designs

Lynda K

The setup. I also hoped for more flat lay surfaces in the future that went with the setup

Gina L

I had just lost my life partner to a car accident and I needed something to help me cope. I picked up my camera again and wanted something easy to use without having to make my own photo backdrops. I had seen posts in other groups about replica surface so I asked for a couple for Christmas.

Stephanie G

Knowing that I needed good quality surfaces at an affordable price to take professional product photos. And seeing others using replica surfaces and the positive reviews.

Kennedi S

Strong perceived quality/value + recommendation from another customer

Dave H

I had heard Replica surfaces recommended in the food blogging group I am in, and I was really intrigued by the way the clips let you easily connect a surface with a background.

Molly P

The realistic look and lightweight option that wasn't vinyl

Kat K

Sales play a big part. I have purchased things (the studio is one) at full price then regretted that purchase when it went on sale 2 weeks later. Now I wait to purchase till a sale is announced or when a limited series becomes available where I missed one I just have to have. Example- I'm anxiously awaiting Cabernet to come back.

Cherish B

Selection and quality

Barb C

I love how easy they are to use and I couldn't find any other product that came close to what I needed. When I was first starting out with social media marketing, I liked how user-friendly the ordering process was and that there is a support group for product users.

Melody P

I was drawn to the realism of the surfaces, and the variety of options for different genres of products.

K.Samone .

I saw your ad on Insta and then saw all the pics and options and loved the user-friendly site!

Hannah T

Friends of mine bought and used your surfaces. I was impressed with the quality of the photos. The surfaces looked like real backdrops. I wanted some for myself!

Christine W

I received an advertisement for your product and I knew instantly that it was something the company I work for could benefit from! I placed the order later that afternoon!

Nina P

I first learned of you through IG. I thought the surfaces were kind of pricey. I looked around at other less expensive versions, but they were not of the same quality that I could tell online and reading reviews. Then doing some more research on your product, I came across your Facebook group and saw there was a lot I could learn from the group and there were no negative comments about the surfaces or the quality. So when there was a sale, I took a leap. And now I'm all in!!!

Cheryl P

I saw a tutorial from Mandy on laying out food on a RS and then ordered a few to take photos of my cheese boards.

Abbey W.

Wanted nice backgrounds for my handmade cards

Brittany F

The unique designs and the quality of the backgrounds

Sarah P

Needed to use backgrounds for still life photography

Cindy G

Very impressed with the photos I saw on your IG account.

Angie P

I hired my photographer for wineVEIL product shots and she was using your products, so they were "tried & true"!

Lisa H

Seeing homemade items displayed on them.

Lisa M

I love the entire presentation of the website. The example imagery is fantastic and really shows what's possible with your products with some focused effort. I also enjoy the specials you've been running around holidays for extensive savings. Your marketing campaigns are efficient and I've been taking notes for my own brand. I'm very happy with my purchases from Replica Surfaces and the overall experience!

Ty R

For work. We take photos of products in-house a lot and we need some quick backgrounds options. I love the options Replica has.

Marianne Q

Testimonials/reviews/pics from previous users, obviously excellent customer support, available educational support materials, feeling of camaraderie among users and the company, the "personality" of the company.

Heidi H.

Having an assortment of backgrounds allows me to create photos that are beautiful and luxe.

Leketra W.

Quality of the backdrop

David M

I needed small, easy to store and carry backgrounds for photos. I also loved the option for scenic backgrounds rather than just textures.

Liberty V

The first time I saw your product was on Instagram. I loved the idea that I can move my setup around and up and down. And changing the background is so easy which was a great deal to me.

HamidehZ

I needed a clean pretty place to photograph my ceramics and I wanted my photos to look professional like they would in a catalog.

Samantha B

I was doing "make-shift" photos to help my sister sell items in a Facebook group she belongs to. I wanted them to be MUCH better...I investigated Surfaces....and it was exactly what I wanted and needed!

Deborah B

Because I'm a photographer and it seemed like a smart thing to do.

Bridie M

I work as a product photographer/videographer for a tea company and wanted to invest in some higher quality and more diverse backdrops. The product photos on your website using the surfaces were inspiring to me to start using those backdrops for my own products.

Haley S

I like the studio system.

Meagan S.

Photos that used Surfaces on someone's blog.

Dawn A

Quality.

Jill T

I'd watched several of the early videos and found them really helpful. It was hard to find places in my home to do product photography, and I really liked the selection of surfaces available.

Hannah H

I own a small business and wanted professional surfaces to photograph my products on.

Nikki M

I needed a stable mini studio. I was using poster board taped together and it was miserable.

Audra N

Durability and construction.

Shannon K

The visuals you use in your marketing.

Christina K

We needed a background to feature flowers for our flower business! Replica offered classy and simple backgrounds that worked great for our business.

Kelleigh S

I didn't like the vinyl backdrops I was using.

Amy K.

I had my eye on Replica for a LONG time (low-key brand stalker, if you will). I was obsessed with the Seafoam surface, but I was hesitant about the price. After trying cheaper solutions (floppy, rolled-up vinyl with sometimes poor quality prints), I realized I needed an easier, faster setup. Hard surfaces don't wrinkle or need to be secured at the edges or clipped in place. Plus, I just loved all the beautiful surface designs Replica was putting out. So I decided to spend the extra money, and I ordered a bundle of 4 versatile surfaces. I now have a pretty hefty collection... :)

Andrea F.

I wanted an all-in-one solution to make setup/tear-down easy, to easily follow the light where I needed to, and to have surfaces that were easy-to-clean, easy-to-store, and photorealistic.

Jenni F

Researching backdrops for food content creating and came across this brand.

Lisa L

Need a quality backdrop for photos and I kept seeing your ads.

Jackie D

I took an Instagram class and wanted to learn more about taking better photographs. The professor told me about Replica surfaces so I investigated and liked the products.

Sherie H

Convenience during photoshoot.

Rich J

We saw your Replica surfaces on Instagram, and you ran a sale which got us to buy our first 4 surfaces. We take product images for work, and have been struggling to find background pieces that don't wash out our packaging. We were excited at how easy setup was for the Replica surfaces and we found simple neutral backgrounds that we felt would perfectly pair with our products. (Our products have pretty bright colors)

Karlee W

I wanted a dedicated surface and area for photography instead of moving all around my house. I liked the idea of the thickness and quality of the surfaces vs thinner ones I had used before.

Katie C

Work - I wanted to demonstrate a new concept.

Keeley P

It would make my product photos show up better with more ease and I could hopefully attract more people to my products.

Carmen N

Been a customer since medium. I believed that this product would help me take beautiful pictures of my products.

Lisa G

I wanted a photo studio with lots of options that took up a small amount of space. I have the Studio, tons of Surfaces and two carrying cases. And now that I have used them a lot. I love the quick flexibility to try different options while shooting. Super fast to change and go.

Jeffrey A

The high quality of the products.

Summer T

Saw the value of what you offered and was one less thing we had to worry about and as new blogger.

Joe R

It was the pandemic of 2020, and I had to build a makeshift studio in my parent’s kitchen for a commercial photography class. I spent hours trying to find what I could use and stumbled upon your site. I fell in love with your work and the rest is history!

Mikaela D

I saw someone else used one on Instagram and it looked great. I specifically liked the white marble and rose marble. I am always looking for surfaces that recreate upscale surfaces that I'd find in my home. I bought a lot of the marble and wood surfaces. I would like the white molding to come back and the OG terrazzo.

Vanessa K

I really wanted to have legit backgrounds for my side hustle and I had seen yours advertised so often I thought I would give them a go!

Meghan H

Back surgery resulted in limited ability to manage heavy props. Replica studio and surfaces looked like a workable solution.

DiAnna P

A holiday sale.

Elizabeth B

Quality, selection, ease of use, holiday sale.

Brie G

I was influenced by @sugarpusher.

Krystin S

The quality and portability of the Surfaces, plus being able to attach 2 together with the stands!

Caitlyn K

Need a quick and easy, yet interesting space I can set up and take down with little to no effort.

Roy M

I bought the surfaces so I could provide better photos of my food for social media and website.

Mindy B

I struggled to take photos in the winter months since it was dark when I got home. I liked the backgrounds and thought it was a great way to keep my product images cohesive and on brand, while also providing great lifestyle backgrounds for customers to imagine the product in their homes. I like how easy the studio is to set up and I can quickly take photos when I have fresh product and I don't need to wait for the natural lighting to be perfect.

Letitia I

I was looking for a quality board to shoot my hand-made card projects for my YouTube channel and Instagram account. I stumbled onto your site. It took me a while to commit to the price of the boards, but once I did, I wanted more.

Cathy A.

Quality and durability.

Rachel H

I've always wanted to take beautiful food and drink photos "for the 'Gram" as the kids say (do they even say that?) My own kitchen table simply wasn't cutting it. That's when I discovered Replica Surfaces and their stunning, well, surfaces. I had a few in mind before I finally bought them. Now I have 100+ Surfaces!

Brett M.

Inspirational videos on how to do photo shoots with your products.

Laurie H

Gift for a photographer.

Chris S

I needed an upgrade from using colored paper and what was available for props in my office.

Dan V.

Loads of really great photos and reviews.

Rob G

Special discount that I couldn't pass up.

Jessica H

I was using vinyl backdrops. They were harder to store, often had creases, etc. I love the simplicity of storage and quality of the product.

Kelly R

The way the surfaces went together and were durable.

Tina D

I was looking to get started in food photography and came across Replica Surfaces. I liked that they were beautiful and durable. It also felt good to support a woman-owned small business.

Chondra A.

I wanted to up my food photography game for my food blog and social media.

Greg H

I was doing more product photography and the backgrounds were so beautiful. I also love supporting a small business AND as someone living in Texas, I love how quickly they arrive to me!

Lita M

I needed something easy to use but still made my product photos look good in my listings.

Suzanne G

Photography beginner; liked the backdrops.

Rosemary H

It's a perfect backdrop for my wife's crafting needs. I also use it to display my collections as well.

Michael R

I'd been drooling over the studio since learning of its existence. I just loved the idea of being able to roll a mobile studio in front of my balcony door when the lighting was right.

Bri C

The ease of use and setup, the brackets seemed pretty convenient for quick sets.

Melissa Z

Your studio! The fact that you can rotate it, change height - I thought it was genius!

Lisette E

It’s been so long ago, I’m not sure. I do know that I was using scrapbook paper as backgrounds, and small photo-box setups. When I saw Replica’s product, I wanted to try it. Not sure where I first learned about RS. I wanted to use the surfaces for my Getty Images photography. This type of photography was an expansion of the photography I was already contributing to Getty: travel, landscapes, sunsets, surfers, beaches, flowers, birds, etc. I knew that expanding into still photography and conceptual/idea photography would make me more valuable and offer a more diverse portfolio for Getty Images buyers.

Patricia M

I couldn't find a wide variety of practical/pretty surfaces anywhere else.

Jennifer H

Tired of cheap looking backgrounds that were overused.

Heather A

I liked the size, the realistic look of the concrete surface, as well as the durability.

Lynne B

Quality, variety, and ease of use!

Paula P

The non-glare surfaces that look realistic.

Missy F

I wanted a more professional look to the pictures of my baked goods. I also wanted to be able to take pictures that would not rely on my actual surroundings.

Jill P

I had seen your ads on social media and asked a few photographer friends who said they have some of your items and liked them. And I had a shoot coming up for which these would be perfect.

Paul N

I bake a lot of cookies in the hopes of someday starting a baked goods business. I love the quality of the surfaces as I learn how to photograph my goods and the video tips and tricks that Replica does help me learn as well.

Melissa C

I liked some of the unique backgrounds, especially with the look of texture. I utilize a specific type of background style, and there were some that fit my needs.

Kimberly S.

I wanted something that will enhance my photography as an influencer.

Clara T

The photos on your website really show the quality of the surfaces. Visually being able to see the Studio/set up in use with an actual person is extremely helpful.

Aberdeen L

I saw the studio solution and saved up to get it with several surfaces. The all in one professional, mobile setup is a game-changer for my business!

Dawn K

I needed new backgrounds for a food photography client. Your imagery is different from traditional sellers.

Tammy S

FOMO! Everyone seemed to be thrilled with their RS stuff!

Desiree T

My friend recommended your surfaces. I was just starting my business and needed to do some product photography.

Helida D

I saw the surfaces on a YouTube review by another user and liked them.

Rachel G.

Convenience & portability.

Kim E

Affordable, durable, recommended from a blogger friend.

Natalie T

The possibility of taking beautiful pics for my products without thinking constantly where it would look better.

Sandra R

The community you've built gives the surfaces added value. I never even knew about surfaces, but when your FB group came into my life, I knew my business could be elevated by a simple shift in how we took photos.

Naja H

I've needed a nice background for photos for so long. I have friends who have been using them for a while who recommended them.

Melissa W

I was starting an Etsy and really care about presentation of my products. I'd been seeing them all over for a while and loved the look but yikes on the price since I really needed 2. But I bit the bullet on my first couple after researching competitors and just feeling like replica would really give me the realistic look I wanted.

Diana P

I wanted to upgrade my at-home photo studio. I also needed tall enough and sturdy enough surfaces. I also love that they are lightweight because I was using marble surfaces. I kept getting Instagram ads and decided to go for it. The 15% off helped too!

Jonna N

I was impressed by the selection of beautiful scenes.

Tina W

I was using 12"x12" scrapbook paper before and while searching online found you on IG

Cindy H

I saw an aesthetic picture either through an Instagram ad or a Google search for photography backgrounds/surfaces. For the space I was working with at the time, and the great reviews and beautiful designs, I thought they would be perfect for taking professional pictures. They are! :)

Kiara M

Usability of surfaces - having the brackets to connect them was a big upgrade from my original setup.

Katie H

The choices in backgrounds. My initial purchase was because my wife was baking and used the backgrounds for pictures with cakes. Then she transitioned into using them for bookstagram.

Curtis H

I do a lot of brand photography and have always loved your surfaces! I was so happy with my first order that I have ordered a few more times! Your surfaces are amazing and make taking photos so amazing!

Kimberly P

Needed backdrops and surfaces for product pics. Loved the tutorials offered on the website. The sale helped boost the number of surfaces I ended up ordering. Confidence in the DIY process.

Rebecca P.

I wanted to expand my photography talent and add a new perspective to my portfolio.

Mark H

I loved the table and ended up placing a second order for the Surface Backgrounds which are amazing.

Katharina N

The quality of the surfaces (and the way they were shown) made me feel like I could take pictures of my products that would help them sell. I bought into the whole ecosystem and that these were THE BEST on the market. I didn't even look at other options.

Katie D

You had a new release with colors that I thought would work well for the brand I was starting to work on. I really didn't need the surfaces at that time, but didn't want to miss out on surfaces that would work. And then I got totally addicted. :)

Gabrielle D.

Quality.

AY

As a content creator with a lifestyle brand it is important to have quality products and services that make the content creation process more efficient.
The high quality photos of the Replica Surfaces and the high quality tutorial videos/ Instagram reels made me feel confident that Replica Surfaces would meet my needs.
There were many examples of how the surfaces could be used and I could look at the social media posts from other creators that use them in multiple niches.
I also received excellent customer service when asking questions before making a purchase. The team assisting me were fast, friendly and knowledgeable about the surfaces and my questions about ordering.

Arieanya B

The Surfaces were the solution I needed for my wedding flatlay photos. I loved their size, durability, image variety and quality. The ability to create a scene with two boards was an added bonus.

Miranda A

I absolutely love the massive catalog of designs. I felt like as a future-proof solution, I could essentially find anything I needed for product shoots based on the client/product.

Isaac C.

The look of the surfaces.

TJ P

I needed backgrounds for photographs. I had been using things that I cobbled together from Home Depot, thrift stores and Michaels. Replica Surfaces were the perfect solutionseven if the price point was high.

CariAnne H

We needed some great surfaces for picture taking of cupcakes.

Jack R

Amazing photos

A Hipelius

You were the recommended vedor for the surfaces I need to do the food photography that is a large portion of my income at certain times of the year.

Andrea J

Wanted a nice clean background for my pictures

Sherice B

The endless possibilities in taking gorgeous pictures of my products that I otherwise would have no idea what to do since I don't have a creative bone in my body.

Diana D

Wanted to improve pictures for selling

Monica N

Product photography

Christos S

I needed a strong, reliable surface for my images that gave that professional feel.

Kayla B.

Once I saw the Studio and Surfaces, I knew I needed them in my life. It's been a game changer!

Trish M.

I have a bridal bouquet business and have photos that I use as a portfolio for prospective clients, but the pictures not very good. So, I started looking for better backgrounds or a system, which would help me create a decent portfolio. When I came across Replica Surfaces I was intrigued. I liked the variety of images/surfaces and really liked that the surfaces were durable and easy to maintain, it was the cost that was a bit daunting. The deciding factor for my purchase of Replica Surfaces was the 'how- to' videos. As I am not the best at taking photos, I truly appreciate how the instruction videos are easy to follow and make sense.

Alfredda F.

Things that helped me:
1. Different styling with each surface showing potential and possibilities
2. The coupon code. Surfaces are expensive especially for a shop that needs to grow. That was the final trigger.

Nicolette L

A friend of mine referred me to your website. I was impressed with the quality of the site and the products. After purchasing several surfaces, I was super happy with the quality of the customer service. The products, helpful information/videos/tips and customer service are top notch! I got the feeling that whoever was behind this company really cared about the products and what they were offering to the public.

Catherine P

I loved the ease of use and the range of styles of Replica Surfaces. Seeing a variety of shooting examples for each surface gave me confidence in selecting surfaces which suit my style. Flattening & securing vinyls for shoots took a lot of effort, and storing them without creasing was a challenge. I often used floor tiles for their great textures and color options, but they were so heavy to handle and store.

Susan O.

I've been baking for a long time and never felt I had the perfect space or background to make the food stand out. When I discovered Replica Surfaces it enabled me to display my baked goods and food with confidence knowing it would showcase food in the best way possible. I'm still at this and learning, but Replica Surfaces gives me the inspiration to create whatever I want and knowing it will look great!

Melody C.

I was buying photo props on Amazon but I really wanted more design choices which Amazon did have. I seen some of your surfaces and I knew I had to have them. Now I'm hooked and buy when I have a little extra money to spend.

Becky S

It was the studio, I have a small space and a portable studio was exactly what I needed.

Carly C

I took up baking as a hobby and wanted to also take up photography to photograph my creations.

Raquel L.

The simplicity of the photo backdrop system

Sarah H

The quality appeared to be very high and the use and portability looked convenient.

Jill S

It was hard to take photos of my chocolates in my house because I didn't have good surfaces and backgrounds in any one spot.

Beth K

I have always had the worst kitchens (I tend to rent mostly) and being a sparkling wine cocktail creator, my drinks were not looking great cause the background looked terrible. I found Replica (don't remember how since it's been years) didn't even do any homework on competitors because there was something about the pics in the ads that just made me click purchase. I now have well over 10 surfaces, the studio and the light on order.

Vicki S

You were recommended by a friend. I was looking for high-quality surfaces that were easy to work with, clean, store, and transport. I think the click-together system was what really sold it for me originally.

Effie G

All of the tutorials and tips and videos that you have created to help execute on vision and give ideas on how to style photos.

Julia W

I am a food photographer and needed more surfaces/backgrounds

Jessica M

Easy set up for photographing my cakes

Nicole M

I saw how beautiful and crisp they are and I wanted to give it a try for my business

Reem El

I began posting book reviews on Instagram.

Linda D

I was really excited to see photos of what was possible with the Replica Surfaces. I also made the plunge early on with the Pro setup and signed up for the class. I was excited to have so many options. The surfaces are well made and I love the two storage bags I have purchased as well. Can't wait for my Gleason lighting system! It all just ties together so nicely.

Kara G

I saw a friend that was using them

Tammie O.

Needed for product shots for our business

Christine C

That it was lightweight, sturdy, and washable

Barbara L

Awesome reviews from fellow business owners

Lymarie J

It was early during the pandemic and I wanted to pick up food photography as a hobby/side hustle. I found RS after some research and picked my first two surfaces to get me started.

Danica E.

Seeing how the surfaces elevated product photos

Stacy O

I liked the surface colors and the fact that they would clean easily

Gwen P

As the Creative Director for a small business one of the things I really wanted to do in-house was be able to photograph our products. In the past we worked with outside photographers and while they did beautiful work, sometimes I wished they were maybe consistent in their setup, shoot at a different angle or question why all the product images except for one were in the same placement, etc. Being able to do that in-house meant I could shoot whatever whenever I needed as well. As I looked at different ideas and companies, Replica Surfaces was the one I decided to invest in. I appreciated the diversity of surfaces along with the various examples of how surfaces could be paired with others and the different subject matter being used to shoot with.

Victoria G.

I needed backgrounds for my baked goods to post on my website and social media.

Joy R

Trying out new things

Paul W

Loved the various backgrounds, portability, ease of use.

Diane P

Needed new solutions for product photography and found that Replica Surfaces were the best solution. And they have been!

Stephen G.

I was looking for a backdrop for my jewelry and came across replica in one of the Facebook groups I was in. I liked the fact that it wasn't cloth and I thought it would make photographing my products much quicker by swapping boards. I also looked at a lot of the review photos on how other people were using them and it helped my decision a lot.

Stephanie D

At the time, I needed an easy set up. I hadn't really heard of surfaces before, and Google brought me to you!

Jennifer D.

I had recently started my ecom biz and even though I had a bit of a photography background, product photography was a totally new beast for me. I was doing all of my product photography on white posterboard and had no idea how to edit and the fact that anyone purchased from me with those photos is a miracle.
I don't remember where I first found RS, but I was blown away by the simplicity of them and that they could replicate (no pun intended) the beautiful kitchen and bathroom backsplashes I wished I had in my home to use as backdrops for my photos, or create a completely new atmosphere with colors to match and compliment my branding, and could be moved wherever I needed them to get the best lighting. Paired with all of the information and resources RS put out about editing and styling and I was hooked from the beginning.

Krystina J

I liked the quality

Adam kg

well made

Adam G

I loved the designs and quality
