Right: Shooting from above makes the shot more interesting, and also makes her eyes stand out more (in an adult this will also slim the jawline down – which usually makes people look younger). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/82eff47a-b218-4657-857d-defffdd55808/Natural_Closeup_Portrait_Photography_5_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Slowing Down To Get Relaxed Face Shots - Make it stand out Top Left: Same position, but head leaning on folded arms, and shot vertically to give variety. Bottom Left: I have changed camera to shoot horizontally, and zoomed in Top Right: Asked her to raise her head slightly Bottom Right: Asked her to look straight ahead, and cropped the shot square. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/f1d2791b-5615-4102-a328-1cd0433d1664/Natural_Closeup_Portrait_Photography_1_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Slowing Down To Get Relaxed Face Shots - Make it stand out Top Left: Composed so Bethany is at the RHS. Centre Left: Now she is at the LHS. Bottom Left: Still at LHS but I have zoomed in and asked her to turn her head to the left slightly. Main Shot Right: Same as bottom left, but I have zoomed in slightly more and tilted the camera (note the slant of the steps behind her). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/c4ccfb44-cbf7-4eb1-85ea-6506dc7211ef/Annabel-Signature-Black-long.png Photography Training Archive - Slowing Down To Get Relaxed Face Shots - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/a2635709-5b82-4ed6-8744-e2dbb9284eae/Natural_Closeup_Portrait_Photography_2_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Slowing Down To Get Relaxed Face Shots - Make it stand out Left: Her body is facing to the right but her head is turned to me. Centre: Same position but I’ve asked her to look more to the side. RIght: I’ve said, “don’t move your head, but just move your eyes to me” – this is a good trick with adults as it narrows the face which adults usually prefer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/3a751031-2c09-4e88-b4b1-014b0e17c450/Natural_Closeup_Portrait_Photography_wide_750.jpg Photography Training Archive - Slowing Down To Get Relaxed Face Shots - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/eaf5acc0-3d37-4a3b-bac3-02653d450ca0/Natural_Closeup_Portrait_Photography_3_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Slowing Down To Get Relaxed Face Shots - Make it stand out Left: Almost full length, camera at slight angle. Centre: Same composition, but slightly zoomed in. Top Right: I’ve asked her to lean on her hand, and laugh at the floor! And I’ve zoomed in closer. Bottom Right: I’ve asked her to fold her arms, and then I’ve zoomed in and turned the camera the other way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/c986ff17-9608-4e74-8ffa-e42295de2251/Natural_Closeup_Portrait_Photography_4_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Slowing Down To Get Relaxed Face Shots - Make it stand out Top Left: Still looking at the space where I was a second ago! Which looks lovely from this angle. Top Right: I’ve asked her to look back at me, and recomposed by zooming out. Bottom: I’ve recomposed my camera so she is now on the RHS of the shot and zoomed in much closer. https://www.annabelwilliams.com/photography-training/archive/looking-at-backgrounds-differently monthly 0.5 2022-07-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/943bf9c5-2355-43c4-a9e0-ac99dfe34e8e/Corinne-0046x_wide_750.jpg Photography Training Archive -

CENTRE and RIGHT: I’ve now moved my position by walking to the right and shooting at a slight angle, where the light is softer on her face (NOTE: The shadow on her face on the LEFT shot caused by the tree moving in the wind) and I’ve also zoomed in closer to get a totally different composition. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/ed0c0ca7-6bd4-4fd8-b9cf-c49d6da3e4b6/Guide_to_Simple_Portrait_Positioning_8_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Getting Started with Positioning People - Make it stand out She’s standing in the same position in all the shots, but I have asked her to move her head, look away and then look at me, whilst zooming in, changing between vertical and horizontal, and tilting the camera in different ways. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/08975804-3f3b-4ad6-ac03-e50d9795f253/Guide_to_Simple_Portrait_Positioning_4_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Getting Started with Positioning People - Make it stand out I zoom in for the first shot (LEFT) and then zoom out for the second (CENTRE) and turn the camera horizontally.

Lingerie on Location! - Make it stand out Above: Experimenting with different angles (cropped in camera) creates a fabulous shape which shows off the lingerie perfectly. Note how the shot on the right is quite different from the first, not only because her head is cropped, but also because we have pushed the water towards her to blur the edges of the picture more, and emphasise the underwear. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/f9e83b4a-22b0-4b66-9332-e72df77ccd95/SilverKey-0204_wide_750.jpg Photography Training Archive - Lingerie on Location! - Make it stand out The golden light in the early evening is perfect for the colour of the lingerie, and the silk scarf drifting in the wind really adds to the picture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/f94cc51b-f2b5-4a2a-af9f-2d59c27e77d0/lingerie_11_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Lingerie on Location! - Make it stand out Different crops and slight movement of her head, helps to create variety in the shots. I am deliberately allowing areas of light space on the shots to add text to them later for advertising purposes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/379a509f-d6fe-423e-b513-7b35c11f6ca4/lingerie_5_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Lingerie on Location! - Make it stand out Running around and doing this several times results in some very natural, relaxed shots, particularly when she finally walks out of the sea (bottom right, above). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/5b6057a6-7a8d-4def-aba6-4ec113c4d23b/SilverKey-0016_wide_750.jpg Photography Training Archive - Lingerie on Location! - Make it stand out Once we’ve taken some standing shots, we then try running around in the water, and splashing, to create a more spontaneous feel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/058a452c-62e4-4c23-b1c7-820e08ef2281/lingerie_15_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Lingerie on Location! - Make it stand out Isabelle runs around in the sea, while I shout directions to her! Which was not always easy, because it’s hard for her to understand my very fast English and my French is terrible! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/91227fdf-2002-48ab-8cd8-35e067f1249a/lingerie_6_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Lingerie on Location! - Make it stand out These images show the different effect created by bright sunlight (left and bottom, above) and the shaded soft light you get using a reflector (top right). Left: I loved the 50’s feel of her hair and face in this position, so used a vintage preset in Lightroom to complete the effect. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/09c52356-1186-43f2-a104-9d1a2c7980d7/SilverKey-0083-2_900x683_wide_750.jpg Photography Training Archive - Lingerie on Location! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/79f9f5de-d8f1-4e4a-a3e2-4a103af859d4/lingerie_shoot_7_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Lingerie on Location! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/4cd9ccf4-3cd7-4237-9134-f893588c6158/lingerie_shoot_2_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Lingerie on Location! - Make it stand out Left: Isabelle and Alexa with hair protected for the speedboat ride. Centre Left: Cody with his Go Pro camera, capturing the action. Centre Right: The girls hang onto their hair, while make up artist Candon looks on. Right: Kimball trying to fit everything we need into his boat! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/dcc507cc-2c3e-452d-95c2-7d527abe81ac/SilverKey-0086-3_wide_750.jpg Photography Training Archive - Lingerie on Location! - Make it stand out The water is startlingly clear, and the textures and patterns of the dead wood, plus the shapes of the trees behind, make an amazing background to this shot. I love the fact that no one would ever normally sit there in their underwear! The more incongruous the better! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/ee45b9a8-aabd-4fd8-a839-875a6f214957/lingerie_12_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Lingerie on Location! - Make it stand out Left: This crop allows space for advertising text later. Bottom right: By turning her head slightly, it creates a very different shot. Top right: I can’t resist a shot of those gorgeous shoes on their own! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/dcd73f73-f806-477e-b542-076638f6f0a4/lingerie_14_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Lingerie on Location! - Make it stand out It took a lot of effort – but it was definitely worth it! Note I’ve used several different angles and crops to give variety for use in advertising. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/c4ccfb44-cbf7-4eb1-85ea-6506dc7211ef/Annabel-Signature-Black-long.png Photography Training Archive - Lingerie on Location! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/70db9b75-ab71-4eb2-b70d-3312dd28ef11/lingerie_shoot_3_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Lingerie on Location! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/5fecc4e9-3b1b-45db-a25c-bdcedde62bab/LINGERIE_16_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Lingerie on Location! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/91c83f0f-c7b4-41ad-9493-b032fd8f0d17/lingerie_13_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Lingerie on Location! - Make it stand out Alexa tried various different ways of balancing, while Cody paddled the boat in and out, so I could get the shots – not only did we have to be really careful when moving positions, we also had to keep her in the shaded area – as we couldn’t send anyone out with a reflector – it was around 6 feet deep just below where she was standing, and very soft, muddy sand. https://www.annabelwilliams.com/photography-training/archive/how-to-enhance-your-chances-of-winning-a-photo-competition monthly 0.5 2022-07-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/c4ccfb44-cbf7-4eb1-85ea-6506dc7211ef/Annabel-Signature-Black-long.png Photography Training Archive - HOW TO: Enhance your chances of winning a photo competition - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/43fc2db5-b5d2-4737-b69d-b3cc71e7d951/IDEA_photo_wide_750.jpg Photography Training Archive - HOW TO: Enhance your chances of winning a photo competition - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/c4d0e974-89f3-415f-9d7d-fbd0a98e4ff2/Screen_Shot_2013-06-10_at_17.43.00_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - HOW TO: Enhance your chances of winning a photo competition - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.annabelwilliams.com/photography-training/archive/win-days-personal-training-session-annabel-williams monthly 0.5 2022-07-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/c4ccfb44-cbf7-4eb1-85ea-6506dc7211ef/Annabel-Signature-Black-long.png Photography Training Archive - WIN a day’s Personal Training session with Annabel Williams - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/55c81b2a-55bb-4b8c-b155-b819ed3ac388/Erica-0146_wide_750.jpg Photography Training Archive - WIN a day’s Personal Training session with Annabel Williams - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/95e944dc-544b-4676-bf4e-c0e5fdcc7ecf/Screen_Shot_2013-06-10_at_16.24.59_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - WIN a day’s Personal Training session with Annabel Williams - Make it stand out Some of your pictures will be featured in a follow up blog later in the year, and one person will win a day’s personal training. https://www.annabelwilliams.com/photography-training/archive/i-charge-first-wedding monthly 0.5 2022-05-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/50a773d5-3116-47fe-ad80-4b6efc4edcc7/Bride_money_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - How do I charge for my first wedding?

I have no idea how each individual is going to look until I position them and move them around. I started by asking her to sit on the seat (top left) and then asked her to lie down – first I positioned her with her back to the wheel, but didn’t like the shot, so asked her to swop over, and this suddenly made a much better shape with the curves of the car. I then asked her to move her body, then arms, then her face – adjusting little bits until I was happy with the shape that was created. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/0c85a7bf-4006-49f1-a382-7320d11889eb/how_to_photograph_couples_17_wide_750.jpg Photography Training Archive - Palm Trees, Pallets and a Pick-up Truck! - Make it stand out I loved the shape of Jamie’s profile and arm from the other side of the truck – and used the shape to frame the picture by moving Jess into a more prominent position, turning her face to use the light from the rear window, and keeping the focus on her. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/12f3b13a-23b5-4769-8749-8fe14eebdb62/how_to_photograph_couples_18_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Palm Trees, Pallets and a Pick-up Truck! - Make it stand out Next I experimented by cropping differently (top right) and then bringing Jamie into focus instead of Jess (bottom right). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/c4d8a9e0-1308-4264-a35c-d69d12e41eb4/how_to_photograph_couples_7_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Palm Trees, Pallets and a Pick-up Truck! - Make it stand out Top Left: Ask them to touch noses, rather than look into each other’s eyes – it usually results in a more natural expression, because they tend to burst out laughing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/531c3374-f5a8-44f9-9394-e5b1360c4cf5/how_to_photograph_couples_14_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Palm Trees, Pallets and a Pick-up Truck! - Make it stand out Each of the above images has been enhanced in Lightroom, using standard presets – which you can see by the colour of the car (top right is the original colour). Top Left is using Old Polar, which works really well on certain images (it can look awful on others – test it and see!). Bottom Left: Bleach bypass and Bottom Right: Aged. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/ed9dd4e5-7627-477f-bf8a-354a3d10834b/how_to_photograph_couples_9_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Palm Trees, Pallets and a Pick-up Truck! - Make it stand out I love the line of painted palm trees in the background (left). Centre & Right: Zooming in, changing angles and cropping, creates variety in the shots. So long as you move something each time, such as angle of his head, expression, etc. you can get a variety of shots without changing the subject’s body position – which makes it much easier and more relaxing for him. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/739b225d-9b18-4641-902b-7f7bcd78d96d/how_to_photograph_couples_19_wide_750.jpg Photography Training Archive - Palm Trees, Pallets and a Pick-up Truck! - Make it stand out Wow – what a gorgeous look! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/c4ccfb44-cbf7-4eb1-85ea-6506dc7211ef/Annabel-Signature-Black-long.png Photography Training Archive - Palm Trees, Pallets and a Pick-up Truck! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/9d959b30-e12e-45cf-9384-6799849dd63a/How_to_photograph_couples_8_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Palm Trees, Pallets and a Pick-up Truck! - Make it stand out It’s an overcast day, but placing Jess under the top shade of the palm tree softens the light and makes it more even. Note how the colours in her top work so well with the colours around her – the green of the palm and the yellow paint on the tree trunk. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/60b9c013-8487-4a21-b96b-e36993e35c0a/how_to_photograph_couples_10_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Palm Trees, Pallets and a Pick-up Truck! - Make it stand out The colours look great in these shots, particularly as her coral shorts work so well with the painted areas. However, the pictures work just as well in sepia (Lightroom: split tone), emphasising the shapes and texture in the background. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/949a84a7-3d1f-4740-a593-2a248c27e63d/how_to_photograph_couples_3_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Palm Trees, Pallets and a Pick-up Truck! - Make it stand out Left: They are standing still. Centre: Now they’re spinning round & I am snapping away as they laugh. Right: Zooming in closer for a different effect. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/48ec7605-7d2f-44c8-9350-77963b44c57b/How_to_photograph_couples_12_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Palm Trees, Pallets and a Pick-up Truck! - Make it stand out Chuck’s amazing truck makes the most fantastic prop! Top Left: I demonstrate how I want Jamie to sit. Top Centre: Jeff holds the reflector (whilst videoing!) because we need to bounce more light into the truck, as the overcast day has suddenly become dark and stormy. We used the gold side of the reflector to warm up the light (see bottom left). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/cf3efa35-4d65-4de7-8972-44014103b285/how_to_photograph_couples_15_wide_750.jpg Photography Training Archive - Palm Trees, Pallets and a Pick-up Truck! - Make it stand out One of my favourite shots!

Centre & Bottom Right: Zooming in with the 70-200 lens creates variety in the shots. Main picture & Top Right: Altering your camera angle by shooting from the ground, can make a dramatic difference – I much prefer the main picture where their heads are above the trailer in the background. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/87cceeef-ea55-4de4-9337-8ed0013f6626/how_to_photohraph_couples_12_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Palm Trees, Pallets and a Pick-up Truck! - Make it stand out Above, I’ve used a trick I often do to create a “windswept” look. The wind actually did blow at times which helped – but if you rely on the wind you often don’t get as good a result as placing the hair yourself. In the shots at the top (above) I have carefully placed several pieces of hair over her face, creating a look I find most people love. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/62765244-5cc7-4090-97f3-2ea4f3e1f869/How_to_photograph_couples_6_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Palm Trees, Pallets and a Pick-up Truck! - Make it stand out The colour of his t-shirt works really well with the background, particularly in the close up shot (right). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/b0dbccdc-4552-470d-9b5f-f98d14cb363a/how_to_photograph_couples_16_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Palm Trees, Pallets and a Pick-up Truck! - Make it stand out Top Left: I bring Jamie into the background of the shot. Right: Then I decide to change the look, and it takes me a while to work out the shot, by changing angles, zooming in and making slight adjustments to their positions until I’m happy with each shot. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/5eae5aff-5b9a-4ba7-9885-e6314df56c85/How_to_photograph_couples_11_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Palm Trees, Pallets and a Pick-up Truck!

Natural smiles (right and centre right) are much nicer than fake cheesy grins – you need to make them laugh, rather than let them say “cheese”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/4f16e830-ccf0-494b-931c-89d75f461f59/perfect_child_photos_1_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - The 5-Minute “Perfect Smiling Child” Shot - Make it stand out Let the children get involved in choosing their clothes; it all helps you to relate to each other. Clothes are colours and shapes which will enhance the picture – you are not often going to show the whole outfit, particularly in these face shots – so if they are happier wearing something they chose themselves – all the better, because you will get happier children. https://www.annabelwilliams.com/photography-training/archive/know-composition-right monthly 0.5 2022-07-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/75745654-78ed-42c0-afa5-f7a5c5478881/Annabel_Williams-99_Photo_Art_Ideas_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - How do you know when your composition is right? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/db50bcc8-1240-4d2e-bd1e-133abbd5b116/Annabel_Williams_-_Paul_Gardner_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - How do you know when your composition is right? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/26abfcfd-bfc6-413c-babf-f1361ae96ecd/Screen_Shot_2013-04-20_at_14.37.28_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - How do you know when your composition is right? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/4ac3df3a-5400-42e0-9dd8-132c88f2be2e/Screen_Shot_2013-04-20_at_14.14.53_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - How do you know when your composition is right? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/c4ccfb44-cbf7-4eb1-85ea-6506dc7211ef/Annabel-Signature-Black-long.png Photography Training Archive - How do you know when your composition is right? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/451d1941-01ba-45a4-8110-2657f88357af/Screen_Shot_2013-04-20_at_14.27.17_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - How do you know when your composition is right? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/a0b930d9-9d38-4d01-aeb4-4b74d7458977/Composition_wide_750.jpg Photography Training Archive - How do you know when your composition is right? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/11a29d1a-c512-4e47-932f-fe17492947f4/Annabel_Williams_-_Degas_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - How do you know when your composition is right? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/8dc3edba-54e9-4651-955b-593bd630606b/Annabel_Williams_-_99_DIgital_Photo_Art_Ideas_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - How do you know when your composition is right? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.annabelwilliams.com/photography-training/archive/3-hour-fabulous-bride-shoot monthly 0.5 2022-07-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/6434b96a-e2ea-4147-8115-55b39911fa0c/Annabel_Williams_wedding_2_wide_750.jpg Photography Training Archive - The 3-Hour “Fabulous Bride” Shoot - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/1ebd7d5f-2acf-4879-8688-70784a99f225/Screen_Shot_2013-03-07_at_16.30.11_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - The 3-Hour “Fabulous Bride” Shoot - Make it stand out I love the washed out, faded colours of this building – they make such a fantastic background!

It was blowing her dress all over the place, which really added to the effect. The shots on the left have been softened using the Lightroom Clarity slider. Right and centre – “Color Creative old polar” preset. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/e9ce71d0-ea94-4f0f-93fa-354674cf1af4/Screen_Shot_2013-03-07_at_18.39.21_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - The 3-Hour “Fabulous Bride” Shoot - Make it stand out The light in the pictures above is soft and flattering due to the top shade from the overhanging roof. I shot the “LOVE” pictures on the left, focusing first on the statue, and then on the couple, to create variety. I also angled the camera to make the shots more interesting. Bottom right: I asked them to stop dancing, hold each other tight, and asked Trevor to kiss Sophie’s throat – which resulted in a beautifully sensual shot. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/7b3edf28-c276-4f7c-851f-2a5f52c4d90a/Screen_Shot_2013-03-07_at_18.54.05_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - The 3-Hour “Fabulous Bride” Shoot - Make it stand out There is nothing like the glow of sunlight at the end of the day – it’s just beautiful golden light, which makes the skin tones look incredible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/542a8ffa-abcc-407d-8a86-d272276bddf5/Screen_Shot_2013-03-07_at_16.02.57_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - The 3-Hour “Fabulous Bride” Shoot - Make it stand out It’s not often you get the chance to shoot in such amazing light – this really was entirely ad lib! I was yelling instructions over the traffic and because this was 2 hours into the shoot, Sophie was used to just doing as she was told! Trevor couldn’t be in these shots because we had to leave someone with the car, on such a busy street! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/8dd7b51e-ce65-46d0-8361-ca06085dd896/Annabel_Williams_beach_wedding_wide_750.jpg Photography Training Archive - The 3-Hour “Fabulous Bride” Shoot - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/52f06520-bece-411b-b633-2a06d031a62f/Screen_Shot_2013-03-07_at_14.53.20_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - The 3-Hour “Fabulous Bride” Shoot - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/eda00813-2dc4-4b79-aa34-221b3a96d41b/annabelwilliams_wedding_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - The 3-Hour “Fabulous Bride” Shoot - Make it stand out I tried all sorts of things to get these shots; we just experimented and worked it out until it felt right!

Centre and right: Video stills showing how difficult the light is, and why it’s crucial to set your camera to expose for the face, rather than on auto. (I’ve deliberately left the video stills untouched to show you what happens when it’s set on auto.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/35e1070b-cc1c-407d-80cd-964ed3a7832f/Screen_Shot_2013-03-07_at_17.22.41_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - The 3-Hour “Fabulous Bride” Shoot - Make it stand out ABOVE: The sepia shots are taken while she is actually walking down the stairs, but the shot on the right I asked her to stop in mid flow – shooting a full length shot from below makes people look much taller, which usually works well in a wedding shoot, as it emphasises the dress. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/e70613a6-65ea-4abd-95aa-33f5cf0f6e6c/Screen_Shot_2013-03-07_at_17.55.08_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - The 3-Hour “Fabulous Bride” Shoot - Make it stand out Not the sort of shots you would normally take on a wedding day, but when you’re doing a shoot like this, you can do anything you like! https://www.annabelwilliams.com/photography-training/archive/5-ways-make-bride-look-like-model monthly 0.5 2022-07-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/656e7437-2f53-499b-b08d-fa20e52c99e4/Screen_Shot_2013-03-25_at_11.26.05_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - 5 ways to make your bride look like a model! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/c4ccfb44-cbf7-4eb1-85ea-6506dc7211ef/Annabel-Signature-Black-long.png Photography Training Archive - 5 ways to make your bride look like a model! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/072ebf54-958d-4ab4-aafe-beb9ed94929e/SophieTrev-0066_wide_750.jpg Photography Training Archive - 5 ways to make your bride look like a model! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/69455905-df95-485b-a51c-c31ff43c1f8a/Screen_Shot_2013-03-22_at_11.37.38_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - 5 ways to make your bride look like a model! - Make it stand out A pre-wedding shoot is the perfect opportunity to “train” the couple to look their best and enjoy being photographed!

Bottom right: I love the way the water makes shapes as Terje swims through it – I just asked him to swim up and down the pool slowly while I took shots. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/c4ccfb44-cbf7-4eb1-85ea-6506dc7211ef/Annabel-Signature-Black-long.png Photography Training Archive - Come on in, the water’s lovely! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/9945e6b5-632b-4d93-b0cb-97272aae721a/Screen_Shot_2013-01-08_at_15.48.42_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Come on in, the water’s lovely! - Make it stand out I love using shapes in pictures, and this house is basically a series of different shapes in a very neutral setting. The star shape of the palm tree contrasts with the square shapes of the windows, and tilting the camera makes the pictures more dynamic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/0d26fb75-f0e6-4040-b740-5225d0af1e6c/Screen_Shot_2013-01-08_at_17.12.17_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Come on in, the water’s lovely! - Make it stand out These are three different compositions of the same elements – there is no right or wrong – each one works in it’s own way. Experiment and see which shots you like best. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/50ec5c35-b26d-4931-ab48-0209ff381cea/Screen_Shot_2013-01-08_at_17.26.19_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Come on in, the water’s lovely! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/4e738e16-da1b-4959-af95-4ea99ecc6e4e/Screen_Shot_2013-01-08_at_18.02.52_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Come on in, the water’s lovely! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/807d621d-f2aa-48ca-bedf-9f762e98ff96/Annabel_Williams_wide_750.jpg Photography Training Archive - Come on in, the water’s lovely! - Make it stand out I deliberately chose this ripped and faded T-shirt because I loved the colour, and as soon as Terje put it on he just looked really relaxed, proving that even the oldest clothes can look fantastic in a shot. Next time your subject says they have nothing to wear, don’t listen! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/7520c40a-de76-4ffb-8d68-6657707333fb/TerjeS-0102xx_wide_750.jpg Photography Training Archive - Come on in, the water’s lovely! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/dfe00ce5-64fe-42ff-9425-98c3d1cf532c/Screen_Shot_2013-01-08_at_16.12.13_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Come on in, the water’s lovely! - Make it stand out It usually takes several attempts to get a good shot when the subject is moving. Just keep doing it over and over again, and shoot wide so you can crop later, as it’s tricky to get the person exactly in the right place in the frame, when you are shooting like this. Throw out the blurred ones and choose the ones that work! Using a wide aperture (F2.8 in this case) to throw the background out of focus will put your shutter speed up too, and help you to freeze the action. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/3f9251ef-5e75-4711-af32-fbf371ad26f4/Screen_Shot_2013-01-08_at_15.07.32_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Come on in, the water’s lovely! - Make it stand out The 3 main images above show how a few simple changes to his position produces 3 very different shots, and I chose the T-shirt as I thought the red would look good with the green chairs which I used to add colour to the background. https://www.annabelwilliams.com/photography-training/archive/valentines-day-is-here-again monthly 0.5 2022-05-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/94fc37bf-fd56-4004-99e6-753a9d22a956/Screen_Shot_2013-01-28_at_10.52.31_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Valentines day is here again! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/617264d7-4ce1-400a-b4d3-c11b0bc73a62/Screen_Shot_2013-01-28_at_10.49.50_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Valentines day is here again! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/5359e66d-8bc5-4dd2-b6ec-2dfc245683f6/Screen_Shot_2013-01-28_at_11.16.40_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Valentines day is here again! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/753d2869-8c61-4a1d-ac20-a6168c052e9d/Screen_Shot_2013-01-28_at_11.03.17_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Valentines day is here again! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/a2f76f2b-6d51-4090-86b8-0a81edcfa737/Screen_Shot_2013-01-28_at_11.25.10_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Valentines day is here again! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/8b34e835-05f3-4e92-8e12-edc311481ea3/Rachel_Nick0385x_wide_750.jpg Photography Training Archive - Valentines day is here again! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/c4ccfb44-cbf7-4eb1-85ea-6506dc7211ef/Annabel-Signature-Black-long.png Photography Training Archive - Valentines day is here again! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.annabelwilliams.com/photography-training/archive/how-to-find-beautiful-light-on-your-doorstep monthly 0.5 2022-07-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/426a1e37-bbc8-48b3-9d3f-69f34392edcd/Gavin-0298_wide_750.jpg Photography Training Archive - HOW TO: Find beautiful light on your doorstep - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/f409fa0a-41cd-4644-9da3-00bb7011fed7/Screen_Shot_2013-01-14_at_11.24.20_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - HOW TO: Find beautiful light on your doorstep - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/d65a66ea-e74c-44c2-a31d-3ee60352e02c/Screen_Shot_2013-01-09_at_16.01.45_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - HOW TO: Find beautiful light on your doorstep - Make it stand out Top left: Alice can be quite far back in this doorway because the house is very light. I am right in the doorway here, because there are steps up to the house and I want to be on the same level as her. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/8ca9ea1d-c54f-40be-82da-36e497e37b14/Screen_Shot_2013-01-10_at_13.56.53_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - HOW TO: Find beautiful light on your doorstep - Make it stand out For the images above we moved all the furniture out of the background and used the conservatory as a “set”, using the space and light from the open patio doors. (Note this conservatory has a solid roof, rather than glass which would not give top shade). I was standing on a small wall in the garden, so that I could shoot downwards and use the floor as a background. It was a dry day, and I could have shot anywhere outside, however the light is softer in the doorway, and it’s important to use the best lighting you can when shooting close ups. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/c4ccfb44-cbf7-4eb1-85ea-6506dc7211ef/Annabel-Signature-Black-long.png Photography Training Archive - HOW TO: Find beautiful light on your doorstep - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/00c14205-f690-42ac-874b-0b0b903cc041/Screen_Shot_2013-01-09_at_16.35.38_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - HOW TO: Find beautiful light on your doorstep - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/547046cd-6773-415c-a571-d41833b85475/Screen_Shot_2013-01-10_at_14.25.30_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - HOW TO: Find beautiful light on your doorstep - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/47e75726-8067-4d54-8571-b2154e11dda0/Screen_Shot_2013-01-10_at_10.28.03_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - HOW TO: Find beautiful light on your doorstep - Make it stand out Use the doorway to create a “set” for your portrait pictures. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/cb7aa740-c157-4053-bbf0-d11e52d87d90/Screen_Shot_2013-01-10_at_11.57.23_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - HOW TO: Find beautiful light on your doorstep - Make it stand out Left: Original image in Lightroom, which is fine as it is, but I prefer a brighter, more washed out look to my pictures. Right: I have moved the exposure slider very slightly to achieve this look (+0.65 – see sliders on right). The reason it is so easy to do this is entirely down to the fact she is sitting in soft, even light, and I have exposed for her face. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/f52b79a6-6a1d-497a-b9e2-753f878d6ec3/Screen_Shot_2013-01-09_at_16.17.54_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - HOW TO: Find beautiful light on your doorstep - Make it stand out Top right: Soft even light from the top shade of the metal barn doorway creates a flattering picture. Top centre: Using a gold reflector helps to bounce more light into her face and gives a golden glow, which warms the skin. Bottom left and centre: Same flattering light, but “aged” using Lightroom. https://www.annabelwilliams.com/photography-training/archive/how-do-i-photograph-my-yoga-teacher monthly 0.5 2022-05-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/ce8ed22d-2f2b-45d6-9764-7d79e74391c6/RebeccaYoga-0041x_wide_750.jpg Photography Training Archive - How do I photograph my yoga teacher? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/92ed03df-a9e7-4424-bf7a-23165a9d2ad3/Screen_Shot_2013-01-16_at_10.54.21_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - How do I photograph my yoga teacher? - Make it stand out If you can find a shape in the background – it can really work well with the “shape” of the yoga positions, adding balance to the picture. It does not have to be a palm tree – a beach hut or large piece of driftwood would work just as well! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/e2999ed2-7058-4377-9c7d-83970a701d64/Screen_Shot_2013-01-16_at_10.40.57_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - How do I photograph my yoga teacher? - Make it stand out Pictures like this work particularly well in black and white, and it makes them look artier. Leaving a lot of space around the subject, or using F2.8 to knock the background more out of focus, allows for text to be written on top of the image too. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/0d2d32ad-eb65-42b9-92c7-cde4bdf4b1ec/Screen_Shot_2013-01-16_at_10.41.59_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - How do I photograph my yoga teacher? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/c4ccfb44-cbf7-4eb1-85ea-6506dc7211ef/Annabel-Signature-Black-long.png Photography Training Archive - How do I photograph my yoga teacher? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.annabelwilliams.com/photography-training/archive/beauty-photos-without-flash-studios-techy-stuff monthly 0.5 2022-07-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/4979dbd9-6551-4b06-b909-25f5471f2c5c/Annabel_Williams_18_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Beauty photos without flash, studios or techy stuff! - Make it stand out Furry hats look great in pictures because they frame the face and emphasise the eyes. I have darkened the edges of the picture in Lightroom to emphasise the face even more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/a7d0be7c-7b55-47de-9415-47a1ba90c88b/LIBBY0498-2_wide_750-1.jpg Photography Training Archive - Beauty photos without flash, studios or techy stuff! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/138801da-4b18-4165-89ab-cb454aa367eb/Annabel_Williams-beauty_shoot_1_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Beauty photos without flash, studios or techy stuff! - Make it stand out Libby is a very pretty girl, but many people’s Facebook pictures don’t always do them justice, particularly when shot with harsh flash. We wanted to show her how she could look really amazing on photographs, given the right lighting and positioning. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/d20abc00-f52f-4fea-920d-019281e468fa/LIBBY0498-2_wide_750.jpg Photography Training Archive - Beauty photos without flash, studios or techy stuff! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/c07eefe3-6b42-456e-a685-230cd8bcb233/annabelwilliams_11_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Beauty photos without flash, studios or techy stuff! - Make it stand out You can see how close the reflector is because it’s reflected in her glasses above, and if you skip back to the earlier photos you will see how much her confidence has grown by this point. Another reason to allow yourself plenty of time to do a shoot. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/d54b335c-7117-46f7-96ad-126b179027e4/LIBBY0374_wide_750.jpg Photography Training Archive - Beauty photos without flash, studios or techy stuff! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/9d1e22c8-3dba-4ad0-a741-190431129632/annabel_williams_7_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Beauty photos without flash, studios or techy stuff! - Make it stand out For the images above we opened both doors and Libby was lying across the doorway with her head at the right hand side (as I look at the doorway). She is in the same position for all these shots – I have asked her to move her head slightly each time, zoomed in and altered the camera angle to create variety. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/bc6e6cb6-477f-4784-b31c-5890ad981a00/Annabel_Williams2_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Beauty photos without flash, studios or techy stuff! - Make it stand out The sketch above shows where Libby was positioned, and how I used the reflector to bounce light into her face. Light was also being bounced from the pale concrete floor. Remember it’s a really dull, rainy day, and the light is still beautiful because of the top shade, the reflector and exposing for her face. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/0f5b8d59-2b3d-4771-ac9e-90f9768377d5/Annabel_wiliams_6_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Beauty photos without flash, studios or techy stuff! - Make it stand out A reflector is essential here, as without it, half her face would be in shadow. On all these images except the top left, I am sitting on the windowsill by her feet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/7385a4ea-fb22-4485-8f86-5e765ccd05e5/annabel_williams_17_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Beauty photos without flash, studios or techy stuff! - Make it stand out Left: The background is dark because I have closed the hall doors to deliberately place emphasis on Libby and not on the background.

If it’s a very young child, and they won’t take it off – ask them if you can wear the hat and put it on yourself – this will usually result in them laughing at you, and you’ll get a great shot! If they have a teddy, ask them to put it on teddy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/e3aa4fb3-d838-458d-a5cb-152dd709b0a2/Screen_Shot_2012-11-08_at_09.49.09_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - HOW TO: Photograph children in winter - Make it stand out In most of these shots Stewart and Julie are running, which makes Harriet laugh, and I can use my zoom lens to capture lots of different pictures. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/0e99dfdf-346b-495a-910b-5a8d8bdb8517/Screen_Shot_2012-11-07_at_12.27.29_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - HOW TO: Photograph children in winter - Make it stand out Try turning your camera at an angle to make the pictures look more interesting. Ask the girls to twirl around in a skirt – because they’re having fun they will not notice the camera so much, and it will add movement to the picture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/6572c3b2-69d1-4d79-b024-8ded75b76559/Screen_Shot_2012-11-07_at_15.45.52_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - HOW TO: Photograph children in winter - Make it stand out Left: Try asking the child to spin around with the umbrella for a natural shot (best in those few minutes between each rain shower) – or try placing the child in the doorway of a garage or carport – concrete floors look great as a background as you can see above, and the children stay dry. Top Right: Clear brollies look really good as you can see more of the child. Bottom Right: Patterned brollies can also make a good background whilst keeping the child dry. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/4be1fa1d-5930-404d-8704-1e1a63191b73/Screen_Shot_2012-11-08_at_09.39.40_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - HOW TO: Photograph children in winter - Make it stand out Make everything a game! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/c4ccfb44-cbf7-4eb1-85ea-6506dc7211ef/Annabel-Signature-Black-long.png Photography Training Archive - HOW TO: Photograph children in winter - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.annabelwilliams.com/photography-training/archive/i-take-photos-little-girl-grandparents-beach monthly 0.5 2022-07-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/7db308c7-a257-492c-b491-60468211864e/Screen_Shot_2012-11-19_at_11.25.38_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - How do I take photos of a little girl and her grandparents on the beach? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/f4a00ec5-9f98-46fc-91df-fa855c4bb98a/2008_av0145_wide_750.jpg Photography Training Archive - How do I take photos of a little girl and her grandparents on the beach? - Make it stand out In the shot above, I asked the children and their mother to stand at the edge of the patch of water, and then when I was ready, I asked them to run through it to the other side, thereby giving them something to focus on.

He works hard at the gym and this sort of effort needs to be shown off! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/49bc6451-d617-4360-8588-588d3a59e19f/ChrisW-0097_wide_750.jpg Photography Training Archive - Teens to Twenties - Make it stand out Not everyone would want to take their top off in a shoot, but by this stage he was really into it, and quite happy to do so. Particularly as another of his good features are his abs – as I said, if you work that hard, you deserve to look fantastic in a photo. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/58836977-6203-44f4-9ae7-df8ee0c35e63/Screen_Shot_2012-08-31_at_19.43.34_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Teens to Twenties - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/08b28335-e01b-4037-8ae4-c018db6d872e/Screen_Shot_2012-08-31_at_20.06.28_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Teens to Twenties - Make it stand out The patchy sunlight works well here, because he is young and has good bone structure.

It takes several shots to get one that works – you have to keep trying it out, and deciding where he looks best in the composition. I’ve then cropped it to a panoramic shape which I feel makes the shot more interesting. I’ve also kept him quite a distance from the wall to add depth to the picture, and the edges of the picture have been darkened in Lightroom to make the subject stand out more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/691a234a-8617-4d92-a4c3-071a0513f906/Screen_Shot_2012-09-01_at_19.15.11_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Amateur Photographer Summer Workshop - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/cfa72535-5c2c-467e-a50e-f0baed7ce8c3/Screen_Shot_2012-10-13_at_13.42.23_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Amateur Photographer Summer Workshop - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/75807099-c956-4fe9-9bf3-c6dbe510f5d4/Screen_Shot_2012-10-13_at_13.36.07_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Amateur Photographer Summer Workshop - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/0714c063-1e39-4582-af46-e09e4dca1e94/Screen_Shot_2012-09-05_at_11.04.36_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Amateur Photographer Summer Workshop - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/5b3a00cc-586e-4853-82c4-a8ccbbc12648/Screen_Shot_2012-09-01_at_20.46.55_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Amateur Photographer Summer Workshop - Make it stand out Left: This positioning would not be flattering for many people, but as Gus is very tall and slim, he gets away with it. The background is sharper because this is the 24-70mm lens, where the others are shot on the 70-200. Centre: Changing this shot to black and white accentuates the shapes in the background and because he is so far in front of the buildings, he really stands out, adding strength to the shot. Right: He is in exactly the same place in this shot, but the effect is nothing like as strong as in the black and white one. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/034d538c-d3ac-47e0-a0ea-16be5e03ee85/Screen_Shot_2012-09-01_at_19.10.27_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Amateur Photographer Summer Workshop - Make it stand out Simply changing a few things, like your position, or zooming in, or turning your camera the other way up – can result in a variety of different shots without having to move your model too much – so they stay relaxed and you get some great photos. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/493b6f37-8d3e-4a8e-8288-b076abd92755/AP-0025xx_wide_750.jpg Photography Training Archive - Amateur Photographer Summer Workshop - Make it stand out I have positioned Saroush about 10 feet away from the background which allows it to go out of focus and soften the lines. If he had been close up to the background the lines would have fought with the subject and made the image look confusing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/3eb76349-7917-45d3-a383-39492873641c/Screen_Shot_2012-09-01_at_19.30.15_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Amateur Photographer Summer Workshop - Make it stand out Top left: This is shot on the 24-70mm lens at F5.6 and you can see how the background is much more in focus than on the other shots, which are taken on the 70-200mm lens at F2.8. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/3c6ee47c-8149-448c-b743-dbac3e1e44dc/AP-0053x_wide_750.jpg Photography Training Archive - Amateur Photographer Summer Workshop - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/cfc3373e-7eed-41d6-a94e-fac79ca751d0/Screen_Shot_2012-09-01_at_20.08.39_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Amateur Photographer Summer Workshop - Make it stand out For the first few shots, I chose his bright blue faded t-shirt because it blended so well with the blue background colours (top) and contrasted with the red (bottom right).

The eyes are pin sharp in this shot, taken on a 70-200mm zoom lens, and the soft areas of the picture are created deliberately by shooting at F2.8. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/42844c4a-319c-4cbb-919c-0c7a6d92e6a8/2010av0031x_wide_750.jpg Photography Training Archive - Should I use a prime lens or a zoom lens? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/c4ccfb44-cbf7-4eb1-85ea-6506dc7211ef/Annabel-Signature-Black-long.png Photography Training Archive - Should I use a prime lens or a zoom lens? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.annabelwilliams.com/photography-training/archive/french-vineyard-shoot monthly 0.5 2022-05-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/baf204e8-a019-46d4-9836-63210637e88e/Screen_Shot_2012-08-16_at_16.07.34_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - French Vineyard Shoot - Make it stand out The glow of the orange setting sun is fantastic in the colour shot, and in black and white, the shapes and shadows are enhanced by the intense contrast. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/7399f1ce-e58e-4e0e-9835-ab7df838fb83/Screen_Shot_2012-08-16_at_15.30.11_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - French Vineyard Shoot - Make it stand out Centre and Right: Georgie is in exactly the same position in these two shots – I have just altered the camera angle, zoomed in, and asked her to keep her head exactly where it is, but bring her eyes to look at me – those few simple directions result in a very different shot from the first one. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/6c4ca97c-578a-45e2-ace9-d01bdefe6d80/Screen_Shot_2012-08-16_at_15.17.45_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - French Vineyard Shoot - Make it stand out Top shade is being provided by the tree, which gives the soft flattering light on her face, with occasional speckles of sunlight as the leaves blow in the breeze. The yellow wash on the shot on the right is a Lightroom preset – Colour Creative. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/afdca3a1-6067-4173-94d3-e028d65ce775/Screen_Shot_2012-08-16_at_16.01.39_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - French Vineyard Shoot - Make it stand out Standing straight on is not a good look for most people, as it tends to make them appear wider – look at the difference in the running shot, where her hips are not straight on – a much more flattering shape. However when the person looks like a model, they get away with it and straight on shots can look fantastic in a shoot like this. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/c4ccfb44-cbf7-4eb1-85ea-6506dc7211ef/Annabel-Signature-Black-long.png Photography Training Archive - French Vineyard Shoot - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/3969ee22-5a96-4cab-a04e-16f54ad780eb/Gavin-0477x_copy_-_966x727_wide_750.jpg Photography Training Archive - French Vineyard Shoot - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/b5ef3a1c-162b-47cb-bd75-c2c837f0f83c/Gavin-0469x_wide_750.jpg Photography Training Archive - French Vineyard Shoot - Make it stand out Because the vines at the edge of the picture are so close to me, they have gone completely out of focus, creating a very strong emphasis on the centre of the picture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/d3894230-54cf-48cc-a754-ca7d1c444268/Screen_Shot_2012-08-16_at_16.20.13_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - French Vineyard Shoot - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/615fee89-4826-4fb3-813f-9749d0bfe57b/Screen_Shot_2012-08-15_at_17.43.41_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - French Vineyard Shoot - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/298bd70c-8598-46ac-b413-0a622b6370ee/Gavin-0427_wide_750.jpg Photography Training Archive - French Vineyard Shoot - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/e1e9d6bd-f59f-48af-b5cc-45b63db1105b/Screen_Shot_2012-08-15_at_18.07.33_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - French Vineyard Shoot - Make it stand out I love the way Georgie’s knees and feet turn in on these shots – I asked her to sit down and turn her toes in, and this was the result, so I left it like that! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/f84a8b3d-6c5a-43fe-96a1-135c88469fec/Screen_Shot_2012-08-16_at_15.42.00_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - French Vineyard Shoot - Make it stand out Left and Centre: The blue sky was amazing, and you can even see part of the moon in the centre shot – just pure luck! Right: This shot shows how I have moved her into the sunlight area – the earlier shots were taken in the shaded area, which you can see behind her.

These are fun shots which are part of the overall shoot – so if some look more like snapshots than others, it doesn’t matter to me. They are all just part of a great day out! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/930141fd-6d6b-4956-82ba-14795605c869/Screen_Shot_2012-07-12_at_10.56.06_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Sweet 16 – Teenage Birthday Shoot - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/275893c7-2efb-4e86-b40a-eb194c05a0bb/Screen_Shot_2012-07-12_at_14.41.18_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Sweet 16 – Teenage Birthday Shoot - Make it stand out By chance, a large black storm cloud was approaching, which gave us an incredibly gloomy light and really enhanced the shots. The gorgeous blue effect here is a Lightroom preset – “colour creative – cold tone”; and the vintage look is “colour creative – aged look”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/a9da0ade-6559-47bc-bb59-dac0cfe5618f/Screen_Shot_2012-07-12_at_11.51.23_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Sweet 16 – Teenage Birthday Shoot - Make it stand out All the effects on the shots above are done at the press of a button in Lightroom – just using Lightroom’s own presets. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/a8a1a96e-d142-4c57-905a-9544da110499/Screen_Shot_2012-07-12_at_12.11.57_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Sweet 16 – Teenage Birthday Shoot - Make it stand out In the shot above, I have positioned them first to separate them – and asked them individually to stand, crouch, turn this way or that way – then when I am happy with the shape of them all together – I then get them to “pose”. At the same time I am checking that they all look good – so I might tweak them, if I am not happy with the way someone is turning for example. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/c4ccfb44-cbf7-4eb1-85ea-6506dc7211ef/Annabel-Signature-Black-long.png Photography Training Archive - Sweet 16 – Teenage Birthday Shoot - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/826eb064-655c-4080-89a8-880c23a4ab8c/Screen_Shot_2012-07-12_at_11.25.32_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Sweet 16 – Teenage Birthday Shoot - Make it stand out Top left: “Give me the look!” Centre left: “Say bananas!” Bottom left: “Turn and look at the sky.” Top right: I have repositioned the group to put Polly in the middle (the birthday girl needs to feel more important on some shots!) – Say “bananas” Bottom right: “Look at the sky” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/6d153b54-4391-422c-a7bb-cd8cb7ce0098/Screen_Shot_2012-07-12_at_11.57.24_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - Sweet 16 – Teenage Birthday Shoot - Make it stand out Top left: Shot straight on – with no tilt Top right: You can really see the difference when you tilt the camera very slightly to the left, and zoom in – makes the shot much more dynamic.

If you go back up to the top of this blog and look at the first shots I took of Mary, you will see that, whilst they are lovely shots, she is much more relaxed in these later ones, because she’s been through a process to achieve this. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/a5c9c68a-507a-416a-b137-2e0b141fc9b6/Screen_Shot_2012-06-15_at_12.48.15_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - HOW TO: Position women to get photos they’ll love – Part 1 - Make it stand out NOTE – You can do as much retouching as you like, but I find that people do not want to feel the pictures are cheated – it’s far better to shoot them in the right light and just do a minimum of retouching, just to enhance the pictures. For more details on how much is done in camera, and how much in Lightroom – check out: Do you get the perfect image right in your camera? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/0df33b96-0bb6-4d80-a017-9f374feee90e/Screen_Shot_2012-06-12_at_14.28.02_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - HOW TO: Position women to get photos they’ll love – Part 1 - Make it stand out Shots 1 and 2 are virtually the same – only I have turned my camera up the other way on shot 2. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/a6b85faa-8f79-4d2a-82f6-304e96c58bf6/Screen_Shot_2012-06-15_at_09.58.02_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - HOW TO: Position women to get photos they’ll love – Part 1 - Make it stand out The shots above are all taken by positioning Nicola on the floor as shown in the video above. Careful cropping is vital, as sometimes positions can look awkward as a whole shot – but when you are only shooting a section, it doesn’t matter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/cc81e017-d3a2-4f65-bb4f-9d3274a4021f/Mary_Nicola-0044x_-_820x621_wide_750.jpg Photography Training Archive - HOW TO: Position women to get photos they’ll love – Part 1 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/d7997c06-0ad9-4e1b-ac91-8e9d6f5a3ebc/Screen_Shot_2012-06-12_at_15.02.00_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - HOW TO: Position women to get photos they’ll love – Part 1 - Make it stand out NOTE – All my shots are taken from above, this makes the eyes look bigger, and looking up at me helps to firm up the jawline. They are also taken with the camera slightly tilted to make them look less ordinary. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/c4ccfb44-cbf7-4eb1-85ea-6506dc7211ef/Annabel-Signature-Black-long.png Photography Training Archive - HOW TO: Position women to get photos they’ll love – Part 1 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/645dbdd1-a600-4a09-8548-2f1e4bdeedcd/Screen_Shot_2012-06-15_at_09.44.47_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - HOW TO: Position women to get photos they’ll love – Part 1 - Make it stand out NOTE – Every person is different – if you start with this basic position, then you can move around them to see where each individual looks best. https://www.annabelwilliams.com/photography-training/archive/digital-camera-magazine-interview monthly 0.5 2022-07-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/c4ccfb44-cbf7-4eb1-85ea-6506dc7211ef/Annabel-Signature-Black-long.png Photography Training Archive - The Digital Camera Magazine INTERVIEW - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/494d95d7-952c-4445-8b4f-e735e39f168a/Blog_Image_Template_-_1000x750_wide_750.jpg Photography Training Archive - The Digital Camera Magazine INTERVIEW - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/383cf9ab-bb35-4209-89c2-f17bbf22ead8/Screen_Shot_2012-06-08_at_14.23.33_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - The Digital Camera Magazine INTERVIEW - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/1ac36bfe-4316-47fb-ad4c-ea9da353bb53/Screen_Shot_2012-06-08_at_15.06.58_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - The Digital Camera Magazine INTERVIEW - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/0d1d74e7-3928-407b-bccc-c722adc5ec18/Screen_Shot_2012-06-08_at_14.02.03_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - The Digital Camera Magazine INTERVIEW - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/5f50d40e-8881-4e69-a559-f35f4b3ae1f4/Screen_Shot_2012-06-08_at_14.45.14_wide_320.png Photography Training Archive - The Digital Camera Magazine INTERVIEW - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.annabelwilliams.com/photography-training/archive/the-bath-house-shoot monthly 0.5 2022-07-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/58db2cda-ac4a-49dc-9683-dfbe932e45e1/Screen_Shot_2012-06-11_at_13.47.20_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - The Bath House Shoot - Make it stand out Try shots like these if you are doing a lingerie shoot too. Natural light is coming from the windows and the white duvet cover is a natural reflector. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/2d3eece5-de37-4505-a24d-3ff897304a07/Screen_Shot_2012-06-11_at_16.32.04_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - The Bath House Shoot - Make it stand out We got some really funny looks doing this shot. In fact one passing hotel guest thought there’d been an accident, and we were photographing a dead body! Sometimes I just don’t think about how things look to other people! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/c4ccfb44-cbf7-4eb1-85ea-6506dc7211ef/Annabel-Signature-Black-long.png Photography Training Archive - The Bath House Shoot - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/c8d7a315-8efb-4f55-a6dd-5f21b9a4be13/Screen_Shot_2012-06-11_at_16.30.40_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - The Bath House Shoot - Make it stand out Pictures 1 and 2 show how little natural light you need to take really flattering shots. I love shot no. 3 – just another day in the life of a hotel! And shot no. 4 shows why I’m the photographer and not the model – ha ha! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/ae6d94ec-c791-49a6-9c12-80f54bafdf6d/Screen_Shot_2012-06-12_at_11.24.41_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - The Bath House Shoot - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/d28a7f5e-8ccf-46db-b8bd-ae36dbed7120/Screen_Shot_2012-06-11_at_14.27.23_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - The Bath House Shoot - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/1ba56d62-aab4-40a3-be10-6bac50a9a651/Screen_Shot_2012-06-11_at_13.27.47_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - The Bath House Shoot - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/e507cd49-3905-4cf8-ba7a-6a13884e1ee7/Screen_Shot_2012-06-11_at_14.00.04_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - The Bath House Shoot - Make it stand out This chair is a fabulous shape, and we can do all sorts of shots in it. I just experimented, by moving her around until I liked the shot. I then created variety by changing my angles, and zooming in and out, whilst asking her to lean on her hand, look over here, bring your chin down, etc. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/b9d61d74-6651-4917-9d70-e1d9ce89d7f5/Screen_Shot_2012-06-11_at_14.42.47_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - The Bath House Shoot - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/3dca4db8-a021-4960-9dc1-81ba65008e99/Screen_Shot_2012-06-11_at_18.00.04_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - The Bath House Shoot - Make it stand out This is the perfect example of “shooting in a doorway” – something I am always saying on this site! The doorway has top shade, and lots of sunlight flooding in, but I have placed the model in the shadow area – just look how beautiful the light is. It works every time – even in a normal household doorway – it doesn’t have to be this high, and it doesn’t have to be this sunny – just try it! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/61176fe9-3756-4ddd-9c72-fa68c5fdeb41/Screen_Shot_2012-06-11_at_16.08.38_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - The Bath House Shoot - Make it stand out These shots are all lit with natural light from the stair window, with the help of a reflector. The white jump suit could only be shown 3/4 length because the model was so tall the trousers stopped just past her knees! And we had to keep her crotch out of the shots because that wasn’t a great look either! She certainly suffered for her art in that outfit! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/d1d753c5-9df0-49af-9fcd-9ef0e2137754/Screen_Shot_2012-06-11_at_20.11.40_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - The Bath House Shoot - Make it stand out It’s always fantastic when you see the pictures you shot go on the front cover of a brochure – it just makes you feel great! After 25 years, it still gives me a thrill every time! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/d26d6f5d-28ea-4f98-a0bd-7071879d9b09/Screen_Shot_2012-06-12_at_10.57.48_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - The Bath House Shoot - Make it stand out Every time we went through the clothes, I found something else I wanted to shoot! That’s the beauty of thinking on your feet. So long as you’ve done all your preparation, you have time to think and be creative when something really inspires you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/64fd714c-e19f-4bd2-ab03-b1570d14c1e3/Screen_Shot_2012-06-11_at_17.06.29_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - The Bath House Shoot - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/016738c1-3c82-488c-9b65-81a3eb8fadf4/Screen_Shot_2012-06-12_at_10.21.54_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - The Bath House Shoot - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/d3300769-5073-4c72-982b-6140a3be6e39/bathhouse0212-2x_-_880x667_wide_750.jpg Photography Training Archive - The Bath House Shoot - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/3285617d-dd7c-4ed3-90f7-e8e75d3f22e2/Screen_Shot_2012-06-11_at_17.23.34_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - The Bath House Shoot - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/337bff07-d45e-412b-83b6-a014ef67a81e/Screen_Shot_2012-06-11_at_17.41.49_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - The Bath House Shoot - Make it stand out Top left: Ruta has such long legs, I wanted to shoot from the floor to make them appear even longer, and using the lines in the background and the pole in the center of the room makes her seem taller too. Bottom left: Note the layout of the actual room. It’s amazing how dynamic you can make a shot, by shooting from the floor to include the ceiling (top left), and tilting the camera on an angle to alter the perspective. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/99dafa4b-976a-4935-9220-4710af684114/Screen_Shot_2012-06-11_at_17.03.38_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - The Bath House Shoot - Make it stand out Sometimes when the wind catches this kind of hair, it looks wonderful! Ruta is sitting in the shade and we are using a gold reflector which gives her skin such a beautiful glow. I haven’t Photoshopped the blue background – it’s an accident because the reflector is casting such a bright gold light in the foreground the grey background is underexposed and just turns blue! I love accidents! https://www.annabelwilliams.com/photography-training/archive/the-naked-muse monthly 0.5 2022-05-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627e466a79247b260c18a6bd/f6b2138b-ff43-4e8a-b998-343133cfbbff/3_of_max_wide_750.png Photography Training Archive - The Naked Muse - Make it stand out All these images were taken indoors in natural light, using the very small windows of the house, and a high ISO (1600), with occasional use of a reflector to help bounce the light.

I placed the reflector on the bed to bounce as much light as I could, used a high ISO (1600), F2.8 to blur the background, and held the camera very steady! RIGHT: Andrew is facing the light and I am standing with my back to the window.
