What is a white CYC studio?
A white cyclorama, commonly abbreviated to a , is a large wall with concave edges that appears to have no corners. These curved walls are often called “infinity cycloramas” as they create the illusion of a seamless, unending backdrop. This ocular trick is created by smoothly connecting the ceiling and the floor, allowing subjects to be captured in a seemingly infinite . These unique design characteristics also help with , as the curve minimizes unwanted shadows and produces a crisp, clear image. White cycs are used most commonly for fashion , branded photo shoots, , and headshots or portrait . A is the most popular location for drawing focus to a central photographic subject, reducing noisy background images. While white cycloramas are typically left bare, they can also be lit to add color, texture, and depth. They can also be painted another color entirely, achieving the same infinity effect but with a different hue and style.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Are the Benefits of Using a White Cyclorama Studio?
- Flexibility for Multiple Setups: Easily transition between different looks for projects like fashion shoots, music videos, or product photography.
- Enhanced Lighting Control: The smooth white surface reflects light evenly, minimizing shadows and ensuring consistent lighting.
- Infinite Background Effect: The cyclorama’s curved, seamless design creates an ‘infinite’ background, ideal for high-end visuals in commercials or corporate videos.
- Professional Visual Quality: Cycloramas help produce a clean, uninterrupted look that elevates the production value of any project.
Using a CYC studio provides the flexibility and professional tools you need to create visually striking results, whether you’re working on photography, video, or product shoots.
How To Use a CYC Studio for Your Production
- Plan Your Shots: Before you start shooting, think about how you want to use the infinite background effect. The Cyc wall’s smooth, continuous surface is ideal for creating clean, minimalist visuals that put the focus on your subject.
- Set Up Proper Lighting: Lighting is critical when using a Cyc wall. For an even background, use two light sources placed symmetrically on either side of the Cyc to eliminate shadows. If you want to play with shadows or create a more artistic look, experiment with different lighting setups. The curved wall will give you flexibility with how light behaves.
- Protect the Cyc Surface: One important thing to keep in mind is maintaining the cleanliness of the cyclorama. The white surface is prone to scuffs and marks, so make sure to clean the soles of the shoes before stepping on the Cyc. Consider bringing a separate pair of shoes for models to wear only on the Cyc to prevent footprints, which can be time-consuming to fix in post-production.
- Position Your Subject Carefully: The placement of your subject relative to the Cyc wall can have a big impact on the final look. The further the subject stands from the wall, the more depth and separation you’ll create between the subject and background, enhancing the infinite effect.
- Be Mindful of Materials: If your production involves materials like glitter, paint, or liquids, communicate with the studio beforehand. These materials can be difficult to clean from the Cyc surface and may require additional precautions or approvals.
- Move Equipment Carefully: Avoid dragging heavy equipment, such as tripods or stands, across the Cyc floor, as this can cause scratches. Lift and carry your gear instead to avoid damaging the surface.
By following these steps, you can fully harness the versatility of a Cyc studio to create professional-quality visuals, whether you’re shooting fashion, product photography, or video content.
