Let’s walk through an outline of this class, which features an overview of a few of the skills and insights that you’ll learn throughout it!
Sounds simple, right? The project is actually more multifaceted than you might think. To capture and produce professional-level shots, you will need to learn the logic behind blending people and backgrounds. You will also need to learn how to edit fashion photos, which can be challenging.
No matter where you live, there are hundreds of scenes for your subject, including fields, beaches, streets, and rivers. Any setting can enhance a photo that might otherwise be bland. In addition, you will learn another related skill that will serve you well: scouting a location.
As you attempt to take different types of images, you might need to switch lenses. For example, a wide-angle lens might be more ideal for capturing large, natural backgrounds. However, a smaller lens is usually best for close-ups.
As the shoot continues, remember to improvise. While you’re packing up, a sunset might strike your model in an interesting way. If so, don’t be afraid to snap more photos at the last minute. Bring other outfits so your model can quickly change looks to suit changes in lighting and scenery. This situation is a great opportunity to practice both fashion photography and product photography.
In addition, you will see some examples of cropping and contrast. These skills can be valuable for producing an excellent portrait of a model or non-model.
