Step into the vast, sun-drenched landscapes of the Savannah with this stunning collection of 55 digital backgrounds in the Savannah One Collection. Inspired by the warm, dry terrain of Africa’s open plains, these backgrounds provide the perfect setting for enhancing zoo photos—especially those featuring African wildlife. While many scenes capture the golden grasses and arid earth, I have also used my artistic license to create a stormy mood in some, adding drama and intensity. Additionally, a few backgrounds feature small water puddles and ponds for added visual interest and variety.

For an added touch of realism and atmosphere, consider pairing these backgrounds with The Screen Overlays Collection—a set of 27 overlays featuring elements like dust, fog, rain, and starry skies, designed to enhance your final artwork.

Mask your subject's photographic background away to blend right in with this variety of scenic backgrounds, creating new works of art featuring your favorite subject(s). Though these were designed by me to be used with my animals and birds, they can also be used with people and other subjects. You can also use these backgrounds as the beginning for your digital paintings, whether hand painted or painted in various digital software.

Use these backgrounds "as is" to add a painterly feel to your photographs by placing them on a layer under your subject and masking away the subject's original background. Using your transform tool in your software, you can stretch them and position them exactly where you need them for your art. These also make wonderful beginning backgrounds for your digital paintings!
