But Susan also does something else as a career--she teaches photostyling. She shows others how to set up different photogaphs for product merchandising such as food, clothing, mannequins, etc. She actually has her own blog here, as well as her own website and teaching site!
The people you meet in your neighborhood! LOL!
I bought some stretch velvet and made "body socks" for my dress forms, covering them up so they looked a bit more presentable. I bought both black and grey. Then I bought a background fabric that was neutral in tone and could pick up light from different sources. This picture below is the result!
It's a bit tough being able to take photos without much room, but I didn't have to invest in a bunch of lights either--I simply redirected the clip lights I already had and brought out my desk lamp to light up the backdrop. I'm much happier with the results of the photos over what I was doing before--this kind of set up seems to elevate what I'm doing somehow... I'm very excited!! Thanks, Susan, for the inspiration!!
Until next time--Live life with Relish!
I can see the improvement in your photography already! Hope you'll share Susan's tips once class starts.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jane! I'm pretty happy with the results. I'm looking forward to the class! She's researching an online version, too, so who knows--maybe someday we'll be classmates! : )
