Welcome to
The Journal
Welcome to the Chasing Stone blog! We’re so glad you’re here. Our story began in 2018 with a simple need for a portable, textured, stone-like styling surface. This idea quickly grew into the vibrant and diverse collection of backdrops and styling surfaces you see today. Each piece is inspired by my deep love and fascination for the natural world.
This blog is a place where we hope to answer your frequently asked questions, share tips and tricks, and connect with our amazing community. Whether you're a photographer, florist, or creative enthusiast, we’re here to support you and inspire your artistic journey. Alongside my passion for travel and design, I am excited to share insights and stories that can spark your creativity. Thank you for joining us and being a part of the Chasing Stone family!

How to Travel with Photography Backdrops: Professional Transport and Storage Solutions for 2026
Hand-painted canvas backdrops travel differently than any other studio surface. They roll onto a cardboard core, slide into a rigid tube, check as standard luggage, and arrive at your location ready to hang. Within thirty to sixty minutes of hanging under their own weight, the surface is smooth, the pigment is intact, and you are shooting. No steaming, no emergency prep, no compromise to the image. This guide covers everything a traveling photographer needs to know about transporting, storing, and setting up hand-painted canvas backdrops across car trips, flights, and destination assignments, including how Chasing Stone ships every backdrop from Jennifer's California studio and why that same method is the best transport system you will ever own.
