You agree to terms of use upon download which include not sharing, selling, or re-packaging these documents in any form to be used as stand alone products. You may use them within your artwork, but please don't repackage and sell them as standalone transparent files. I have seen my backgrounds sold as backgrounds on Etsy before. Please don't do it.

Backgrounds, textures, collections, or any files downloaded from this site (including the online library) MAY NOT BE UPLOADED INTO ANY AI (artificial intelligence) programs such as but not limited to Midjourney, Dall-E, NightCafe, Images.ai, Deep Dream Generator, ArtBreeder, StableCog, DeepAI, StarryAI, and/or FOTOR. This is agreed upon download. You are encouraged to either use the backgrounds in your photographic edits, OR to use them as painterly bases to take into a program where a human user controls the brushwork in the digital painting such as Adobe Photoshop or Corel Painter for a client file (subject over top of the background in a flattened delivered file). 

The Backgrounds and Backgrounds Collections may be used as layers, or textures while editing your artwork for both commercial (ie: photography studio needing to change a backdrop in their portrait subject's edit) and personal use. The backgrounds/textures may not be (modified or not) shared, repackaged, resold, copied, or redistributed in any way to be distributed as backgrounds/backdrops/textures. This is agreed upon download. Backgrounds may not be sold, licensed, or distributed in a way that permits Licensee’s end users to extra or access the backgrounds as a stand alone file or PRINTED. Each purchase is copyright protected and only available for a single user. All backgrounds remain property of Heather Michelle Chinn.

Passages Digital Backgrounds Collection @2023 Heather Michelle Chinn


While the reference guides posted here don't show you the detailed beauty and variation between each Passage, this Collection features iterations of color harmonies painted at high resolution "drop" style. This allows for exponential opportunity while editing - use the vertical, horizontal, or even flipped files. You'll notice in the high resolution downloads the subtle variations between each file. No two are the same. 

This Collection was inspired by some of my all time favorite backgrounds stemming from the Curated Collection. I wondered what would happen if I added more layers? And they evolved into a grande collection of "Passages." 

If you desire more bokeh in your background simply add your favorite blur such as Gaussian blur, and then add a small amount of "noise" or grain to match the subject's original capture photographic noise. I've written ideas how to use my backgrounds in my blog posts here. 

Below, you'll see details from this Passages Collection. While they are encouraged to be used in personal and professional client edits, they must be delivered in a flat manner with a subject in front selling as a portrait - not being sold as a background. You'll find this detailed in the terms of use at checkout and here. Upon receipt of payment, the store will automate a link to the email you used at checkout so you may login online and download the high resolution files. 

A variety of texture is layered in these high end digital backdrops from subtle mottled sponges to hints of wax to flying flecks of Autumn.
