10 Fashion Photgragphy Tips
1. Update you equipment often.
We all know that with every new day, something new is introduced in the world of technology. Make sure you stay up-to-date with the latest photography equipments for better results.2. Create harmony.
In order to create harmony, you have to make sure that everything
compliments each other. For instance, your background should compliment
your model’s look. Everything that you are using in photo shoot should
go together so that final picture comes out really beautiful.3. Make the photograph reflect the products beauty.
Remember, the entire effort you are putting in for a particular shoot is
to promote a product. In any case, your location, background or model
should not overshadow your client’s product. As a photographer, you have
to bring out the beauty of the product. If you are a good photographer,
you will not only make the product look beautiful but entire image will
speak for itself.4. Style your Model correctly.
As a fashion photographer, you should take interest in the make-up and
styling of your model too. The entire look of your model has to
compliment your location and off course the product. Have a meeting with
model and your makeup artists as well to define the kind of you look
you have in your mind. Now, this does not mean that you have to band
your head every now and then with the styling and makeup. As mentioned
earlier, one meeting with the model and makeup artists and you are done.5. Select your Models correctly.
It goes without saying that models are an integral part of any fashion
shoot so you have to focus a lot on selecting a suitable model for the
shoot. Do not just get a model because she is famous or you can afford
her. Finding the right model is very important so go through lots and
lots of portfolios and then decide.6. Location of Photography
Selection of location totally depends on the kind of fashion shoot you
are going to have. It could be of a clothing line, accessories or shoes.
So, select a location which will highlight your client’s product. As a
matter of fact, you can try any location as long as you are able to
create proper moods and expressions. Here, your model will play an
important role as well. Your model should be able to portray the role
well. Depending on the product, you can have an indoor or an outdoor
location. For more convenience, you can even shoot in your own studio
i.e., if you own one.7. Experiment with different lighting and shadows.
Lighting and shadows
are supposed to be simpler things in fashion photography. However,
there is nothing wrong in experimenting with the lights to bring out the
best from your shoot. The effect of lighting also depends upon the
location of your photo shoot. Be sure to make the correct use of
lighting's according to an indoor or outdoor shoot.8. Get inspired from things around you.
You do not have to go through each page of every fashion magazine to look for inspiration. If you are actually passionate about photography, you will find inspiration in things around you. However, observing fashion photos can help you a lot in understanding fashion photography and its techniques. Technicalities of photography can be observed via fashion magazines and they can inspire you too. But, make sure you find inspiration in things around you.
9. Brainstorm carefully!
No fashion photographer walks into his studio having no ideas at all. You must have a vision of the image you want to shoot and for that you need to sit, think and brainstorm about your shoot. In order to bring out the beauty of any photograph, you need to make sure that you create the whole ambiance for it. Preparing before your shoot is one advice that every fashion photographer will give you. When you have ideas, you need to make sure that they are properly executed.
