News and Insights from the World of Greeting Cards

Posted by at 30 January , 2009

Stuck indoors and running out of ways to entertain everyone? How about a model photo shoot? From newborns on up, any day is a good day to capture a moment in time by taking a fun photograph of someone special. Try your hand at this creative and free activity by engaging the entire family in the fun. Here are some tips for a great day behind the camera that is sure to result in something quite special.

1. Get Ready. Charge up your digital camera and get a memory stick that will allow for hundreds of shots so you’re ready to click away!

2. Lighting. One of the most important elements in a successful photo is the lighting so choose a location that allows for natural light. Close to a window is good.

3. Backdrop. Drape a sheet over some chairs and extend it down and across the floor. Your subject can sit or lie on top of it. A solid background allows the model to be the focus of your attention.

4. Clothing. Dress up or everyday wear, choose clothes to make the photo shoot fun and the model comfortable. Stage quick outfit changes to keep the fun going, just like a real photo shoot.

5. Perspective. Take shots straight on, from overhead, lying on your stomach and shooting up and some from every angle imaginable. You and your model will have fun and the resulting shots will be entertainment. Take some smiling, some serious and some just goofy for variety.
