hello all! Is there a class or maybe someone willing to teach me how to create clean seamless backdrops with the same aesthetic as the pic below?

I have a website along with ig and I would like to figure out how to use photoshop to create an awesome image like this! Thanks I’m advance.

Yes! Did you make that? The coloring a tad off but that’s fine. Just curious if this is through photoshop? How do I learn how to do that?

Yes.

The coloring is an exact match. The image I posted is just a screen shot and not the original file, so the color appears "off"..........but it's not. There is Blue and Red lighting used during photography in the original photo which affects the background. That lighting is not present in my reproduction.

Yes, this is a Photoshop forum.
How do I learn how to do that?
This was made with simple Ps techniques.

Background:
Solid Color Fill Adjustment layer with the sampled color.
Added Gradient Overlay via layer style.
Added Pattern overlay (Paper Texture) via same layer style.

Slanted Rectangles:
Create with Rectangle Tool.
Duplicated two extra times with Cmd/Cntrl + J.
Added a Gradient overlay via layer style to each rectangle.
Added same Pattern Overlay with paper texture like the background via layer style to each rectangle.
Moved the rectangles into positin with the Move Tool.
Rotated using Free Transform (Cmd/Cntrl + T).
Grouped the Rectangle layers.
Added a layer mask to the Group to give it top and bottom slant.

There are some other minor subtleties that can be added but that's for another time after you become more experienced with Ps.
 
Thank you so much!! Really appreciate your detailed response. Do you think this image was shot with the same gray background like a gray paper and then the stripes were added in photoshop after? Or possibly was the pistol pictured on a white background and then totally replaced by new one? I am sure its hard to tell, just trying to figure out how I should handle my product photos when i shoot them!

You're welcome.

I believe that the BG was created first and the subject was then photographed later under specific and dramatic red and blue lighting.

I seriously doubt this but it is possible.

Well, it's not really hard to tell. If this was a subject shot on a white BG and then added to a graphic BG, there would be some tell tale signs that I don't see in your sample image. I think you should create the backgrounds, print them off, then photograph the subject on the BG with intentional lighting.
 
Thank you I will try for that on my next shoot and see how it goes.

Same profile did this next image…
Is this a motion blur?

No.........this is a "dragged" or pixel stretch effect that has been warped. This entire BG for the subject was created in Ps and the subject was probably photographed on a solid colored BG and then isolated with a layer mask technique.

Thank you again!! I am going to be practicing all weekend :)
