Day 201: Pre-Shoot

Do you know what goes in to a photo shoot? Some might think they do. The photographer shows up, or you visit their studio, and think the magic happens. Not so. So much thought goes in to a photo shoot, well at least for me as as I can't speak for every photographer out there. But a lot of thought goes in to one shoot. I like to reach out to my clients & see what they would like for a photo shoot, any special spot? Special pose? Ect, ect. But I also like to throw in my ideas from time to time, and this session that I am doing, and I did just that. Also we need to think of lighting, a very important part of the photo shoot. The perfect time to have a photo shoot is in the morning, or in the evening before sunset... sunrise/sunset. No harsh shadows! Props.....thinking of the perfect prop for that session. So, really a lot does go in to a shoot before it even happens. And a lot goes in to it after as well, editing can take hours, or even days!! And not every photographer can get the same shot, as each has different eyes, and editing abilities. It's really an art in itself. A vision from the photographer that comes to life! I'm proud to say that this is my vision I had for my vintage picnic shoot!! I may rearrange things a bit, move a few things, but this is it. :D I just need to add the cake, and the balloons!! Oh, and the model!!
