Our Photogram Surfaces(TM) are photo-realistic, lightweight photography surfaces.

They deliver many highly desirable “surfaces” allowing you the freedom to shoot on “marble”, “stone”, “wood”, “Venetian plaster” and more, wherever, and whenever you want.  We challenge you to tell the difference between a photo shot on the real thing versus on our Photogram Surfaces(TM).

No more heavy back breaking surfaces! It’ll be your little secret that you didn’t have to drag the piece of marble, or the tree trunk into your photography studio!!

This is Yu Photogram Surfaces(TM) are painstakingly curated from thousands of images submitted to us from a global network of photographers so that you can have unique exciting surfaces.

They are printed on a 1/8” substrate that is flexible, and durable, and can be stored in a minimal footprint.

They are non-glare, matte finish, rigid, stain resistant, 100% waterproof and made in the USA.

Our Photogram Surfaces(TM) are printed on one side.

Pro Tip: Flip you Photogram Surface over, and voila – a neutral white surface to shoot on.

Images are printed at 300 dpi on our 1/8”substrate Photogram Surfaces(TM).

Our Photogram Surfaces(TM) are 36 in. X 24 in. allowing you plenty of space to not only shoot top down, but also get very creative angle shots. They are also great for Hands & Pans videos!

When you receive your new Photogram Surface(TM), it may look different than the surface as seen on your computer or phone.   This is due in part because monitor screens are calibrated differently.  Here at This Is Yu our Photogram Surfaces(TM) are professionally calibrated to achieve the deepest, richest and most authentic colors.

We want your boards to arrive safe and sound. Even though our boards are durable, we pack for peace of mind.  We ship the boards wrapped in brown paper, taped to  oversized heavy cardboard to protect the corners. Then, this interior package is placed into a heavy cardboard shipping box with additional packing paper. But, if the package arrives damaged, please contact us at carole@thisisyu.com right away, keeping all original packaging. We require photos of all damaged goods requesting a refund or replacement. If you cannot provide photos of damage, we will not issue a refund or replacement.

Yes, please do, however, you must add props to your photos. You can not sell a photograph of a blank This Is Yu Photogram Surface(TM) as a stock photo.

No, all copy, images, graphics, audio and video from our website are protected by copyright laws and belong to This Is Yu.  HOWEVER, please share, tag, tweet, pin, or like our pages, posts, ads, and other social media.  You just can’t, without our written permission, copy or use our designs, or products for sale or for any other purposes.

Your This Is Yu Photogram Surface(TM) is stain resistant and waterproof.  If needed, please clean and dry them with water and a light detergent such as Dawn dishwashing liquid.  When using the surfaces around dyes, or paints please be careful to avoid contact.  (For example, if you’re photographing a food containing red food coloring, or nail polish.) Do not allow bleach or other harsh liquids such as alcohol or nail polish remover to come into contact with the surfaces. 

We cannot accept returns if you stain your surface.

Our Photogram Surfaces(TM) are great with normal wear.  For storage and transporting the boards, we suggest a travel portfolio.

When arranging your props to be photographed use care not to drag items across the board – so that you don’t scratch your Photogram Surface(TM).  Be extra cautious the you’re photographing super heavy, pointy, or sharp items.

Do not place hot or cold items directly onto the boards.  Use some protection, such as a pot holder, silpat or silicone mat so the boards don’t, bend, get burn marks, or melt.

Do not eat food that has been placed onto your Photogram Surfaces(TM).  Even though they are stain resistant, they aren’t food safe.
