Passion and Tips for Photography

Take a red lollipop. Red looks better in my opinion. Have the model smile and look at the lollipop as if she/he is about to take a lick. Don’t have your model looking directly into the camera. A red shirt on the model will enhance the color of the lollipop. If you have a backdrop use a white drop, you can even put up a white sheet on a clothes line or wall using tacks. This picture should turn out looking professional.

Go to a store or flower shop and buy some inexpensive flowers. Live or fake ones will work. Pinch the flowers off the stem on a few of them. Put some of the pinched off flowers around the model. Lay a backdrop or sheet down any color that will match the flowers is fine. Have your model lay on the sheet or backdrop. If you have a girl which this looks better with a girl have her hair flowing in back of her while lying down. Take the shot with the model in the view finder from right below the neck to a little past where the hair is flowing. You now have a great head shot.

Gather up some pillows about 4 to 6 will work. These can be any color. You will probably have the small round or square pillows dressing up your bed. Take them and lay them down on a backdrop or sheet. In front of a bed on the floor will work great. Have your model lay on the ground on one of the pillows with the others lying around them in different positions. Pastel or bright colors look great. As you are standing look down at your model. Center the model in the viewfinder. Snap the picture or a couple. Always take a couple of pictures of thesame shot so you know you will geta fantastic shot to pick from.
