A Few Comments from our Fans

 

I've been a member of SilverLake's forum for less than a year.

I started in photography over 4 years ago. Although I was creating good images, I was in search of creating better images. During my searches for improvement and classes, I came across SilverLake as a source for backdrops for the studio that my husband and I were building. While viewing the many stunning backdrops that SilverLake creates I also joined their forum for additional information. What a FIND!!!! Not only did I find an excellent source for backdrops, photography equipment, and software, I also found a wealth of information and many members that really want to help each other's photography flourish.

Thank you Travis and Paula for all your hard work to provide members with the tools they need to be successful in the Art of Photography.

Silverlake backdrops are by far the best quality I have seen in the industry. Silverlake is continuously coming out with new designs, they are on the cutting edge of what is "hot" in the industry. The people at Silverlake can't be beat, they are knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. Thank you Silverlake!

I have purchased three Silverlake backgrounds so far and I have been extremely impressed with the quality and versatiliy of the backgrounds. When I called customer service, Brooke was very friendly and extremely helpful. I look forward to many years of wonderful images created with your fantastic products as your great selection of backgrounds continues to grow.

Thank you,

Philip

The folks at Silverlake are the best, hands down! Any time I need to call, I get to speak to a real person and get friendly, helpful answers to any questions I may have. And purchasing their backdrops is one of the best decisions I've made for my business. My customers love how they look, and I love the quality. Silverlake will be my go-to place for backdrops in the years to come!

When I was first starting out in the studio photography business, it was just a hobby to photograph my own children. Searching for backdrops on ebay, I happened to come across one of Silverlake's ebay auctions. I was extremely impressed with the quality of the images that were produced with the backdrops and purchased two 10x20 backdrops back-to-back.

Once I received my Silverlake backdrops, I realized what wonderful quality they were and ended up looking up Silverlake's website. I immediately join the forum and began posting. I spent a great deal of time reading on the Silverlake forum as well as posting images for critique.

I have grown so much as a photographer through the help of the Silverlake family. I am now a full-time photographer with my own boutique studio. My studio is constantly growing thanks to the insight that I receive on the Silverlake forum. The forum members are always there when I need help, want to bounce an idea off of them, or just want to chat.

I currently own 20 10x20 Silverlake muslin backdrops and have a wish list a mile long for others. Purchasing and advertising Silverlake products is only a small part of how I can say thank you to them for all they have done for me!

Silverlake has changed my life forever. Their quality and customer service is second to none. Travis and Paula cared enough about my business that they made me feel at home and comfortable here as a Silverlake Forum Family Member. The care and love that they have selflessly shown, has changed how I view my business and not only made me a better person, but a better photographer as well.

I owe everything to them. I can't imagine a portrait session without a Silverlake on my backdrop stand.

Silverlake,
Your company is by far the best around. Your customer service is awesome. I've never had a complaint with your products, and if I needed help with anything you were on top of it 200%. Not only are you there to make sure your clients get the best quality products, you created an online enviroment with your forum to help these clients gain the best possible knowledge and options possible for growing and learning in this industry. Your forums have taught me so very much, and allowed me to create wonderful friendships as well. On top of that, you, yourself have jumped in to give advise, tips etc to help me. How many companies take time to type out information for a newbie photographer. Many times your company could have overlooked my millions of questions and simply told me to go do my research or take classes. But your company went above and beyond to help and to answer questions for me. I have continued to grow and learn for the last 5 years and I know that even more possibilitiesare available to me as Silverlake Forums continue to grow. Thank you for superior customer service, products and the chance to gain such great friends all in one place!

As a photographer and Studio owner, we were seeking a superior, classy, product to compliment our portraiture as we brand ourselves to be the "Art of Photography". This is why we have chosen the Silverlake brand of Muslin backgrounds. We have found that the quality and artistic features of the Silverlake backgrounds along with their exceptional Customer Service, provides a classy and superior product that we, in turn, give back to our clients.

backdrops

Travis,


The quality was obvious and we used the backdrop already for a wedding 2
weeks ago. Looked great. As our fledgling photo business gets going
better, we'll likely get a few more of your backdrops. Your business
gets a fair number of endorsements from folks in various photographic
discussion groups including the Nikonians group and also quite telling
is the absence of negative comments I've seen in them. Thank you. Bill Bryden

I'm so excited, I finally won this background. We just LOVE Silverlake's backgrounds. We have found them to be the BEST!

We really want to add this one to our current collection of Silverlake treasures.

This recent E-bay win is our 6th background from you this year. Can you tell how much we love you?

Thank you for your prompt delivery every time upon winning the auction. Silverlake Rocks!

Dear photo4u2,

Thank you for recommending the test shots WITH a body involved....the backdrop is much more dynamic on film than it is just to the naked eye. :) Works like a charm!! Thanks again for your prompt attention and sound advice.

Without you, Paula, Brook, and everyone else at SL and on the forum, I wouldn't be where I am today. You have been so giving with your time, advice, shoulder to cry on, and support. I can truly say you have made me who I am.

From the bottom of my heart I thank you!

Hello Brook,

Well, we were going to return it but now that I took some photos (I'm sure you've heard this before) it really looks different in the light with the flash so we are going to keep it. Thanks for getting back to me and for all your help!

Sincerely, Laura Fenley

Thank so much for the help...they arrived yesterday and look awesome! I really appreciate it and I'm glad I found you on Ebay. I'll be buying more stuff in the near future.

Happy holidays,
Tom Neal
