Using Confetti as a Backdrop for Event Photoshoots

Confetti makes an energetic, vibrant backdrop for event photoshoots. Use slow-fall tissue confetti for longer suspension in the air, allowing photographers to capture more expressive shots. Position lighting to backlight or sidelight the confetti, adding sparkle and depth. Neutral or branded background colors help the confetti stand out. For portrait-style photos, throw or blast confetti behind the subject rather than directly at them to maintain clarity. Coordinate colors to match the event theme or branding. Confetti adds movement and joy to still photos, making the moment feel spontaneous and festive—even when it's carefully staged.
