Variety is the spice of life!
Your shoot doesn’t HAVE to be just one thing…
I so often get people inquiring about shoots and they don’t know which “box” to put themselves in. Just today I was talking to a woman who wants to do a shoot as a surprise for her husband, but she knows he will appreciate more of the “classy” type photos that leave more to the imagination, but she wanted to do some that were more “slutty”. (Her words, not mine, but I approve!) She was thrilled when I told her we could get a variety of photos!
Throughout your shoot, I’ll be jumping around to get different angles of the same pose as a way to get variety. One angle may produce beautiful glowing light, while another angle of the same exact pose will let things fall off into shadow to create some edgy mystery. We can also use your wardrobe to create variety. You don’t have to bring only lingerie and garter belts, you can bring oversized sweaters that hang off one shoulder, a fitted blazer with nothing but heels underneath, or you can opt to wear nothing at all!!!
We all have many different facets of ourselves that make up our personality. You can be BOTH a fully made-up vixen with false lashes and the whole deal AND also be a completely natural wood nymph. You don’t have to choose!
For example…
Check out this shoot below to see the different ways we created variety! The spice level is the same in all of these photos, but we used different types of lighting and different sets to convey that spice!
