Family Portraits – Moments Captured for Future Generations to Cherish

August 18th, 2010

Family moments are best cherished through memories and capturing them at the right time may not be possible always. However the creative thinking behind family photographs brings with it the leisure to capture those precious moments for generations to cherish and say” that’s my lovely family”!

Yes, increasingly people are getting conscious about family portraits nowadays. Well, when you have the great idea you would want it to be the best at any cost. Few tips to bring out the best in your family portraits would be:

Preparing for the portrait: A very important aspect is to make the family ready for the shoot. What describes your family; Is your family known for something special; any game in particular? If the theme is based on a common liking of the members, the photograph brims with energy.

Choice of Attire and Color: This is equally important as the attire or its color should not distort the onlooker’s attention. While same color might be monotonous, dark contrast is not advisable. The color of the attire should not clash with the background. It is better to have the color complimenting each other. Preferably for children, make sure they are comfortable with what they are wearing.

Deciding the Location: Sunlight or the camera light plays an important role while shooting hence it’s important to first decide on the location - indoors or outdoors. If outdoors, make sure sunlight is not glaring into the lens neither it is too shady. Depending on the season, the attire can add value to the photograph if taken outdoors. Choosing a particular season is advantageous for those families who share a common interest in a particular game, that can be made the theme of the portrait and the family members would be at their self-best.

For example if your family loves to play beach volleyball, opt for beach photography; keep the dress code as white shirt and blue denim that compliments the sky and blue water.

Make sure you take multiple photographs and to ease out the in-front-of-the-camera look, crack a joke just before clicking.

While posing, do not follow a pattern try to make angles, make sure the shoulder of the person is not at the same level as the camera. Pictures where people pose in triangles or have their head tilted look good as the members are closer to each other; to bring in more variety you can choose for sit and stand pose too.

The mantra behind the best click is to ease the situation so that the camera doesn’t miss to capture the 1000W natural smile of each family member which is far more worthy than a fake smile.

Fashion Photography Studio – The Abode to Capture the Perfect Shots

August 18th, 2010

Fashion photographers can create magic in a studio with the help of different setup and lighting. Some photographers feel more in control in a studio since different effects can be created which may not always be possible in an outdoor shoot.

However, studio fashion photography requires a lot of pre-production preparation. It is very different than outdoor photography where a natural scene can be clicked. In a studio on the other hand, a scene or an effect needs to be created.

Apart from having technically advanced equipment, the studio needs to be equipped with props and other materials so that various kinds of backgrounds can be created. The ceiling of the studio should be at 13-14 feet height to avoid the cramped look. All the other facilities required for models and other artists to work in the studio should also be present.

Different kind of fabrics can be used in the background to match the theme of your shoot. You could use net, white fabric or satin to create effects. However, the clothes of the model should not merge with the background. They should be the focus.

Props can also be used. You could use a chair or a pillar on which the model can lean or even a mirror. Mirror as a prop creates a story in the photograph.

When we talk about lighting in a fashion photography studio setup, the photographer has various options. Lights can create different moods in a photograph. Also keep in mind the angle from which the light is falling on the model so that no shadows are created unless intentional.

The basic lighting system a studio can have is the three – point lighting system. It has the core three lights – key light, fill light and back light. The key light lights up one side of the model. The fill light is placed in at a longer distance and diminishes the shadows. The back light makes the model stand out from the background.

Warm lights or cool lights can be used based on the color temperature required for the shoot. Make sure that lighting bulbs, stands and other lighting equipment is available. You can also have a part of the studio where there is natural sunlight giving you the option to use it when required.

To get a warm glow on the model, a sheet can be hung on either the right or left side of the model and beam of light should pass directly through the sheet. This will diffuse the light from extremely bright and will give the model a smooth appearance. If the key light is too bright, reflectors can be used.

Fashion photography is all about clothes and beauty. The lighting and setup should always work together so that the essence of fashion photography studio shoot is not lost.

Fashion Stock Photography – Click to Sell

August 18th, 2010

Fashion stock photography includes those photographs that have not been clicked for a specific client. These photographs are usually used for marketing, advertising and designing or by someone who may have use for the photographs.

Instead of going through the expense procedure of hiring a photographer and models, many websites, advertising companies and professionals take advantage of stock photographs that are available. There is a variety of fashion stock photographs that can be bought through the internet.

There different kind of licenses for fashion stock photographs. For example, a client can take the royalty free license. This allows you to use the image for a limited number of times which could be maybe 6,000 times for a pamphlet. If the client want to make further use of the photograph then he need to pay more. The photographer is the owner of the image so the client does not get the image specifically for your use. The image can be used by others as well. Another kind of license is the ‘right managed’ license where the client has to pay for each use of the image. This turns out to be more expensive but it also gives you the exclusive right for that image for limited period of time.

Stock photographers need to have a collection of versatile pictures for the client to choose from. The photographs should be of good quality and should attract the viewer.
