Why should I choose Replica Surfaces? What makes them the best way to photograph what I create?Updated 9 months ago
What a great question, thanks for asking! Let’s start with what Replica Surfaces aren't. Replica Surfaces aren’t backdrops. They’re a complete experience that helps you achieve your goals…as long as those goals involve taking gorgeous photos.
The experience starts with our products. Browse the catalog and you’ll see a curated collection of Surfaces designed personally by founder Mandy Gleason. Mandy is a business owner, product photographer, and photography educator who deeply understands what other business owners, creators, and photographers need in a Surface. The variety lets you mix and match to suit your brand and style. Plus, we release a brand new Limited Release Surface Collection every month so your photos and social media content can always stay fresh. As one Replica fan told us, “Limited Releases are the most exciting thing Replica does.”
Using Replica Stands, you can hold any two Replica Surfaces to create a wall/table effect. You get free Stands when you bundle two or more Surfaces by the way. To make your in-home photo experience even easier, more efficient, and more fun, roll the mobile Replica Studio wherever the light is best. The Studio has all the features a home photographer needs (like wheels and height-adjustability) and the reviews are mind-blowing!
But our products are just the start. To take photos you’re truly proud of, you may need a photography “coach”. That’s where our YouTube channel comes in. There, Mandy teaches you impressive-looking-yet-EASY-to-do photography techniques that work with your phone camera or DSLR camera - styling, lighting, shooting, and editing - it’s all there! And it’s all free, of course.
If you enjoy Mandy’s teaching style but would prefer a more comprehensive, start-to-finish course, our Photo Formula Course gives you just that. It helps you enhance every step of your photoshoots so that by the end, you’ve created your own photoshoot “formula” you can physically hold in your hands and apply to every photoshoot going forward.
So now you have the tools and the skills to take the photos that help you achieve your goals. What about friends and mentors? Come join our Facebook VIP Community! There you can share your photos, ask for styling or photo advice, and bond with over 12K other business owners, bloggers, and photographers of all skill levels. I know Facebook isn’t always the friendliest place, but this Community is the exception - there’s a good chance it’s THE mot supportive and inspiring group you’ve ever been a part of. We celebrate you, wherever you are in your photo journey. Plus, VIPs get early access to new Limited Release Surfaces and products AND Mandy hangs out there regularly so there’s a good chance you guys will meet.
*finally takes a deep breath* So yeah, Replica isn’t a backdrop. From the moment you build your bundle until you take your first photo, we’re committed to helping you make it happen. Whatever your “it” is.
