About Us

The Imaginator Studio, founded by master photographer Alana Lee, is a collection of curated content and resources for creative photographers and digital artists.

Designed by a photographer FOR photographers.

I spent countless hours searching for digital backgrounds and overlays, but I kept finding poor-quality products or items that didn’t inspire my creativity.

Over the years I’ve created a toolbox of unique, high-quality digital backgrounds, textures, and overlays that I use to enhance the look of my photography images. I’m now sharing my curated collection, along with courses and business templates so that other creatives can create and grow the photography business they’ve always dreamed of.

Let your imagination soar! I can’t wait to see what you create!

Our Core Values

Wondering why you should choose us for your photography education and resources? These values underpin every course, product, template, and digital tool from The Imaginator Studio.

Our photography clients deserve the very best experience and results. So do you.

It can be hard to know what you are getting when you purchase a digital item because you can’t touch and hold it before you make your buying decision.

We give you the size and resolution of each digital asset upfront and provide detailed course outlines to help you decide if they’re the right fit.

We design many photography products and templates from scratch, while some are created partly or fully with AI technology. We get it. Some people avoid anything AI generated. We always disclose when AI is part of the creation process, so you know exactly what you’re getting.

Digital products should be high quality and easy to use.

We pride ourselves in sourcing and creating premium products of exceptional value, with a variety of variations in high resolution that will work with modern workflows and have versatile applications.

Whether adding creative essentials like sky and light overlays, digital backgrounds and backdrops, social media templates, business forms or photography mockups to your library, we are confident you will be pleased with our digital products.

We invite you to contact us should you have any questions and we’ll do our best to help find a solution!
