What is a white CYC studio?

A white cyclorama, commonly abbreviated to a white cyc, 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 space. These unique design characteristics also help with lighting, as the curve minimizes unwanted shadows and produces a crisp, clear image. White cycs are used most commonly for fashion photography, branded photo shoots, commercials, and headshots or portrait photography. A white cyc studio 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.

FUN FACT
The most popular ads to use a white cyc studio are for Apple. The iconic photos of Apple products alone in front of a white cyc managed to achieve a sharp, modern look that quickly became the go-to for advertisers and brand managers!

Why choose a white CYC?

Whether you’re eliminating shadows or exaggerating them, adding a colorful filter or going for a more natural look, using a white cyc will give you your desired finished product.

Streamlined Set-Ups
Many white cyc studios will have a lighting grid pre-set to best capture the light bounce on the infinity wall. If you’re not interested in playing with lighting ideas, you can simply set up and shoot right away!

Frequently Asked Questions

How is a Photography Studio Used?

Professional and amateur photographers use photography studios for their purpose-centric features, such as a well-lit indoor environment, specialized equipment for photography, editing, and lighting, and a blank backdrop. These allow efficient, aesthetic, non-disruptive, and non-intrusive ways to capture the subject, whether it’s a product, an actor, or a promotional movie poster.

What are the benefits of using Studio Photography?

Studio photography’s main benefits include 

  • The flexibility to create diverse backgrounds
  • A more controlled workspace to maneuver the aesthetics of the setting
  • Comfort and safety for the models and creative staff with dressing and make-up rooms, washrooms, and rest areas. 

All of these are hard to achieve in location shoots where physical limitations of the location, hard-to-control lighting, and interruptions caused by the weather, traffic, and crowds can be challenging to manage.

How to Find the Perfect Photo Studio Rental?

Check for photo studios that are located near you to reduce your transportation and logistics costs. Inquire and compare their rates and packages, the size of the studios, the equipment they offer, the availability of amenities such as dressing rooms, parking spaces, editing rooms, as well as the availability of green rooms and cyclorama.

What are the Benefits of Using a White Cyclorama Studio?

Cyclorama or CYC allows for greater flexibility than traditional backdrops. You can easily shift from one backdrop setup to another with different props and lighting, giving you a range of aesthetics and themes.

Cyclorama allows you to play with light settings because of its clear and even white surface while letting the focus be on the subject without the need to edit the background. Cyclorama also offers an infinite background look, making the final product look professionally seamless and high-end.

How to Use a CYC Studio for Your Production?

To use a CYC studio for your productions, you need to first plan your shots to fully utilize the seamless background. Proper lighting is also a crucial step—soft, even lighting will eliminate shadows and create a smooth, endless effect. Next, you should design your set to blend in with the CYC wall. If required, you can use it as a green screen. Remember to experiment with camera angles and rehearse scenes in order to check visuals. Utilizing CYC studios well can enhance your production and post-production with special effects or virtual backgrounds.
