Pastoral Landscapes - Studio Collection #31

31 Hand-Painted Digital Backgrounds for Photoshop and Fine Art Photography 

 

Bring timeless atmosphere to your floral, portrait, and landscape photography with the Pastoral Landscapes – Studio Edition, a complete collection of 31 hand-painted digital backdrops inspired by the romantic landscapes of Thomas Barker. Created from real paint, canvas, and brushwork—not AI—these fine art studio backdrops carry the tonal depth, cadence, and authenticity professional photographers demand.

Each digital photography backdrop has been refined with classical painterly color sets—greens, olives, and soft complementary tones—chosen because they flatter every skin tone and integrate seamlessly into high-end portrait work. These painterly photo overlays give today’s studios a way to connect classical artistry with modern editing workflows.

Painted at monumental scale, the Pastoral Landscapes aren’t vertical sweeps — they’re versatile backdrops you can crop tall, wide, or square without losing a brushstroke of detail.

Why This Collection Is Different

Unlike flat digital background collections or AI-generated imitations, these backdrops are enormously scaled (up to 10,000px on the long edge), giving you freedom to:

  • Create multiple compositions from one file—¾ portraits, close crops, and full-length scenes

  • Produce professional wall portraits up to 40–50” with high resolution digital backdrops

  • Use as direct backdrop replacements, portrait overlays, or Photoshop texture layers for portraits, florals, and fine art composites

  • Offer your clients variety and multiple sellable options from a single painterly background

  • Where wallpaper sites offer simple digital enlargements, the Pastoral Landscapes Collection offers complete repaints — each work re-imagined and refined in brush cadence and color harmony, built as a discerning collector’s editing tool with archival integrity at its core.

Perfect For

  • Fine art photographers seeking authentic hand-painted digital backgrounds 

  • Portrait studios who need classical color backdrops that enhance all skin tones

  • Floral and landscape photographers adding painterly overlays to their editing

  • Professionals looking for multiple crop backdrops and flexible compositions at studio scale

 

What You’ll Receive

  • Includes 21 varied iterations of "Pastoral Landscapes" - painterly digital backdrops (JPEG format, up to 10,000px long edge)

  • Includes 8 Bonus Burnished Iterations - glowing, patina-inspired variations exclusive to this release

  • Includes 2 extra "Bokeh" Iterations
  • 4 - 8.5" x 11" jpeg guides for quick reference

 

Pro Tip (and a confession): As you’ll see in my quick video demo above, you already have a dozen usable crops and compositions before you even start editing your subject. Don’t judge the portrait itself—I haven’t edited her yet in that quick video take—but the point stands: the backgrounds alone give you variety that most digital packs can’t touch.

 

(portrait samples and editing software not included in download)

The Pastoral Landscapes – Studio Edition is the perfect complement to the modern studio, blending painterly tradition with contemporary workflow. These classical-inspired digital backdrops add timeless atmosphere and supporting beauty, seamlessly tying into today’s fine art portrait lines while preserving the authenticity of hand-crafted artistry. 

These are not narrow vertical sweeps — they are painted at such a large scale that you can crop them vertically, horizontally, or square without losing quality. Every sample you’ve seen in a tall format was simply a crop into the full backdrop.

These are not borrowed enlargements of Barker’s landscapes. Every backdrop has been hand-repainted, re-imagined, and patiently edited — crafted as original works designed for a photographer’s lens, not a wallpaper roll.

The Pastoral Landscapes – Studio Edition offers unmatched flexibility in your workflow. Use these painterly files as direct backdrop replacements, layered overlays, or textures in your marketing materials, giving your photography and studio branding a seamless fine art edge. 

Each landscape was painted at monumental scale — not just to impress, but to give you freedom. A single backdrop can unfold into multiple looks: wide, tall, or intimate crops, all holding their brush cadence and dreamy atmosphere.

Unlike wallpaper sites that simply enlarge Barker’s paintings, each backdrop in the Pastoral Landscapes Collection has been fully re-painted — not up-scaled, but re-imagined, re-worked, and refined through multiple iterations for the discerning photographer’s toolbox.
