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.
Created by a Professional Photographer, Trusted by Creatives Worldwide
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!

Nice quality backgrounds. Easy to download. Have used them already successfully.

I’ve long admired Alana Lee’s editing and so when I saw this headshot background collection I had to give it a try. The variety of overlays is amazing but even better is the video tutorial teaching you how to use them to get the best results.
