About Us

Rataa began in 2020 during the first quarantine, when I discovered food photography as a creative outlet. As I explored the craft, I quickly realized how much the right backdrops could transform an image—but there were no dedicated options available in Sri Lanka.

So I started creating my own.

What began as a personal solution quickly grew into something much bigger. After sharing a few designs online, the response was overwhelming, and what was meant to be a side project soon became my full-time business.

As Sri Lanka's first handcrafted wooden food and product photography backdrop brand, Rataa has grown into a trusted name among professional photographers, home bakers, and leading brands across the island. To date, we have created thousands of backdrops, supporting businesses of all sizes in elevating their visual content and strengthening their brand presence.

Each backdrop is thoughtfully designed and handcrafted in Sri Lanka, with a strong focus on quality, realism, and usability—helping creators produce clean, professional visuals with ease.

As the brand evolved, so did our mission. Today, Rataa goes beyond products—we actively work with bakers and small business owners across Sri Lanka, helping them improve their photography skills and present their products more professionally.

Through mobile phone photography workshops, including collaborations with cake academies, we are helping train the next generation of entrepreneurs to create high-quality content using simple, accessible tools.

At its core, Rataa exists to make professional product photography more accessible—and to empower small businesses to grow through better visuals.
