Working with a necklace

In a previous blogpost I talked about using hair as a prop, but we can go one step further.
Make sure you have some different necklaces in your studio and let your model play with it, you can start a little bit simple.

Some images from Sharon

Today some images from Sharon I shot during a workshop small flash.

I love the look of the shadow on the background, a lot of people are afraid of shadows but for me they create the mood and let’s be honest without shadows there is no three dimensionality 😀

Working with hair

Today a small tip that can really boost your photoshoot to the next level.
When you work with a model that has longer hair (and a strong color really helps), don’t forget to play with the hair in your shots. A portrait can be great but at one point you’ve probably had enough of standard portraits, now as soon as you start seeing hair as a “prop” you can get some really interesting shots.

 

In this blogpost a few shots I took from our model Marie during a workshop, it’s a very simple light setup and as you can see, when the subject is interesting enough…. 😀
