I like adding backdrops and bases to frame photos of minis. I’ve had a few but, my old red sky was small and I wanted a space backdrop and an urban base.
The new backdrops were painted in dollar store canvases with cheap acrylics.
I made the urban base out of a dollar store wood frame and random bits in a bin.
The construction was pretty slapdash. This isn’t diorama quality but just enough to make photos of minis feel less empty. Similarly, the paintjob is not flashy. I avoided the urge to add colorful points of interest to the base, to make sure focus stayed on the minis.
A few examples with combinations including new backdrops.

Hell yeah square bases for Space Hulk! Always upsets me to see those minis wasted on round bases for 40k.
Those backdrops are nice! I tried out a Kill Team board as a sort of rocky cliff face backdrop but it was too obviously just a board… might have a go at making something like yours!
