It is that time of the year! Hearts and flowers are piercing their way out from stores’ shelves leaving you no chance but to remind about upcoming, the most amorous day of the year – the Valentine’s Day. As it approaches, many couples are interested to capture this day in the best way possible so it could cherish them in years to come later.
Well, here at FD photo studio we know something about capturing the best way possible, that’s for sure. We like to call it “photographing”.
And here are 5 best ideas for your Valentine’s Day photography session.
Â
Drop the backdrop.
To create a lovely atmosphere we do not have to go far. We can just use tools that we have. Something as easy as piercing hearts or balloons or your significant other’s underwear to the backdrop and taking photos in front of it can be already memorable enough.
Â
Rain ’em Confetti!
If I tell you that confetti makes any setup look like a celebration, chances are I’ll be preaching to the choir. Having little pink hearts or name tags, or cookies, poring down on you from the sky is the marvel you want to live in … and be captured meanwhile.
Â
Decorative Lights
It is still a winter season so Xmas, New Year’s and Valentine’s Day led lights are in trend for this moment. Take it from your Christmas tree, hang it evenly behind the model, use a small F stop to blur out the background of the led little lights itself. Voila. You have done it!
Â
Use Art 3
That is a rather specific tip, not applicable to any other studio other than FD. For stage Art 3 we have done a lot of work so the stage might look like a never-ending Valentine’s Day fairytale. The rose wall, the Bathtub, the golden chair will all aid in creating a loving and romantic context of your photos.
Just Have a Baby
…in front of the camera. It always works, it always will. Babies are cute. Chances are even ugly babies might be cuter than you. So if you want a lovely, cute Valentine’s photo for the family collection, shooting your baby or somebody else’s (hopefully with full parents’ consent) will most definitely save the day and session!
P.S.
We monitor closely the work that our clients post on Instagram from the studio sessions and would love to see how creative you guys can be this holiday!
