Inês Maia Posted Monday at 09:08 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:08 PM (edited) Hi Damien! I would like to request your help, if possible I'm going to do photo sessions for mother's day and, attached is my scenario (just a quick phone photo). Is there anything i would need/could do before the shoots to help me in post, with the extension of the backdrop? Thank you so much in advance!

Damien Symonds Posted Monday at 11:41 PM Share Posted Monday at 11:41 PM Bigger backdrop. Seriously. No matter what it costs, it will still be cheaper than the editing nightmare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inês Maia Posted Monday at 11:54 PM Author Share Posted Monday at 11:54 PM aaaaaand if that is not an option right now? 😅 maybe get the big flowers completely inside the backdrop would help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted Tuesday at 12:28 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 12:28 AM It's a start. Now get rid of the wrinkles. Every wrinkle in that backdrop will equate to another one on your face, because editing a set like this will age you by ten years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted Tuesday at 08:07 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:07 PM What will your lighting setup be for the shoot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inês Maia Posted Tuesday at 08:13 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 08:13 PM Natural light. I'm very limited in terms of material, since i'm starting now with studio shoots... I did a photoshoot in this room a while ago and i think it went well (https://www.instagram.com/p/C7uRoQwoWLD/) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted Tuesday at 08:19 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:19 PM Well I hope it's a lot better than this. 2 hours ago, Inês Maia said: The mixed temperatures of the light is AWFUL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inês Maia Posted Tuesday at 08:22 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 08:22 PM Yes, this was just a quick phone photo just to have an idea of the whole set, with white curtains half closed 😅 I'll also try to borrow a softbox from a friend. that would be way better right?

Damien Symonds Posted Tuesday at 08:24 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:24 PM You have to avoid mixed lighting at all costs. Whatever that takes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted Wednesday at 08:14 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 08:14 PM Definitely get the softbox if you can. Just make sure you have heaps of time to experiment with it before the real shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
