My name is Monica Chadha, creator of Rainbow Surfaces. I started out my food Instagram journey learning new recipes and food photography through cookbooks and online tutorials and quickly realized there was a huge gap in the market for small affordable backdrops for food hobbyists! After using vinyl and DIY boards to shoots for months, I set out in 2020 to look for artists who can paint canvas surfaces made specifically for food and product photographs that were realistic, textured, and durable. I am based out of San Francisco Bay Area and have a huge passion for artistry and helping other artists grow! It’s been an enriching experience connecting with artisans from my homeland India. Stay tuned for an artist spotlight coming up soon. Beautiful, useful products for our customers is a key to artisan empowerment. Check out our catalog for an array of selected backdrops.
My food Instagram page is @thewhitethali and I enjoy learning about new cuisines from popular cookbooks and Chefs. I also LOVE seeing all of your photos on Instagram and learning about what you do!
I teamed up with my son, Sunny Chadha, who enjoys coding, photography, and social media to help me create this beautiful online catalog we named Rainbow Surfaces.
With an eye towards modern design, all of our backdrops are unique and tailored. By drawing inspiration from current trends, our artists develop the new textures and paint unique pieces that you will fall in love with! In our collection you will find unique and one of a kind designs that are sure to make you HAPPY!
As a food photographer myself, I am extremely aware of how heavy food props and wood backgrounds can be and their storage footprint. When finding the perfect material for our flat lay backgrounds I knew it had to be lightweight and roll able. We promise you won't be disappointed with these portable backgrounds!
