With animals
Where without them! By the way, pets willingly pose for a photographer. It is impossible to sit them down (to lay them down) in a point of location, making them freeze waiting for the camera shutter to click, but “catching the moment” is not so difficult.
Dogs, cats, by the way, are quite photogenic, as evidenced by real photos of their owners with their pets. Praise the dog or cat, give him a favorite treat, and he will do whatever you want.
Black and white pictures
Such photos have a special, unique magic. Sometimes color distracts, prevents you from seeing the mood of the photo.
Portrait in black and white tones are naked emotions, inner state conveyed by mimics, gaze, subtle details.
Qualitative shots are obtained by careful work with light, but the game is worth a candle.
Holiday
The holiday was over, and there’s still props? It’s a great idea for a fun photo shoot using holiday paraphernalia. Don’t lose the good!
We put on funny hats, masks, false beards and mustaches and start fooling around. Throw balloons to the ceiling, hug, have fun. A lot of different emotions: sincere smiles neighbor with joy, trembling, excitement, pleasure, delight. We will not be stingy on display of feelings!
Dark Style
You’ve probably seen the photos of the heroes being shot against the background of mysterious ruins, in dark cellars, strange empty spaces.
A home photo shoot also gives you the opportunity to show yourself from an unexpected side. A professional photographer knows how to place light correctly to reflect the most important, conceptual details: a face, a spectacular accessory or an object.
You’ll have to show off your acting talents: play on camera drama, internal tension. You are sure to succeed!
With flowers
Nothing highlights a woman’s beauty, tenderness, refinement like flowers. No diamond crown or tiara can match a wreath of fresh flowers. Lush exotic floral arrangements in baskets, a bouquet of daisies or one of the elegant roses on a long stem – in each case different notes of your essence will play.
It is not necessary to rent an expensive bouquet for the day of shooting – use original potted or artificial flowers (modern products in the photo will not differ from the living even an experienced florist).
In retro style
Do you want to return to the past for a moment, to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the last century and to capture this miracle on film? Look in your grandmother’s chest: you’ll probably find a small hat with a veil, a long thread of pearls, a rare brooch or (with luck!) a mouthpiece!
It is not necessary to put on everything at once – “collect” the image with knowledge, looking back at the canons of a long gone era, try to immerse yourself in the image.
Do not bother organizing a special interior: let it be a simple chair at an empty wall or window.
Grange style
Do you feel the spirit of rebellion and confrontation of standards lurking in you? A photo shoot in the Grange style will help you look at yourself from a different angle.
It’s a style that combines opposing things, objects. It’s dominated by provocation – there are no rules, norms, conventions. Ruptured sneakers, shapeless chlamydia instead of the usual clothes, dyed in poisonous green hair and a guitar in your hands … and, for a moment, at this moment you sit in your own bath. How’s that for a twist?
An important nuance: although the concept is chaotic, creating a Grange image requires good taste.
In vintage style
The ideal opportunity to diversify the album – to complement its photo in a vintage style. Include fantasy and “go back in time”! Courageously try on images of Hollywood wives of the last century, hippies or punks. You do not have to work on the appropriate interior: think through the image to the details (makeup, hairstyle, accessories, clothing) and play the selected role.
Your emotions, movements, facial expressions, energy – the key to successful shooting in vintage style.
In the style of LifeStyle
The most “live” photo shoot. Family members do ordinary things in their homes, talk, show emotions. The goal of the photographer is to capture the best moments in the process of natural behavior.
This is aerobatics – not to miss a beautiful moment that will never happen again. In part, such a photo shoot can be referred to as a reportage shoot, which is better to entrust a professional photographer.
Couple photo session
The form of clothing – free, makeup and hairstyle – at your discretion, feelings and emotions – sincere, real. Proximity of hugs is not as important as the correctly chosen pose. The most advantageous of them will tell you an experienced photographer.
Excellent pictures will turn out in the bedroom by the window, on a matrimonial bed or in a cozy chair by the fireplace.
Conclusion
As you can see, home photo session has certain advantages over the studio version. Home interiors, coziness will emphasize your strengths, bring your own unique charm. And most importantly, you have the opportunity to capture important moments in life that dissolve into everyday life.
It may seem that a home photo shoot is inferior to a studio shoot in a number of parameters. But there are certain positive things that can only be achieved with home photography and are absolutely unavailable in the studio. So you should not ask what kind of photo shoot is better. It all depends on your goal.
Down with stereotypes! In the studio you will find a diverse, but, alas, limited range of interiors, decor and images, mostly stereotypical. At home you are not limited in the choice of ideas by the imagination of the decorator – the designer of the studio.
Feel at home, not as at home. At home you are in your element, not on someone else’s territory, where there are unusual laws and rules. This means that you will be less constrained, freer in the manifestation of emotions, which is best reflected in the photographs.
The entire wardrobe is at your disposal. Rented suits in the photo studio or the things you have brought with you are not just a limitation on the number of images. No one else’s costume will ever sit on you as naturally as your own thing, familiar and dear. And brought with you things may need ironing, and the process of changing clothes in the studio takes a long time and is not the most comfortable procedure. At home, all clothes are at hand, you can change in minutes, it is easy to replace an inappropriate accessory, to complement the image of some unexpected element.
Perfect hairstyle and makeup. You do them just before the photo shoot, controlling the quality in the same light as you would take the picture. You don’t have to worry that they will lose their perfection on the way, or that there won’t be enough time in the studio to work on their looks. Home-shooting will also allow you to quickly change the makepack to suit your image.
Time works for you. Since you don’t spend so much time changing clothes and choosing your perspective, you’ll be able to take many more different photo choices. And you’ll get tired much less!
