Another OptionĪ light box (or tent) also works great. I didn’t use any fancy cameras (even though I may for the actual challenge), but instead just used my iPhone. I turned off the interior lights and had the light shine right on that foam board to the right.Īnd ta-da! This is how the photo turned out when I was finished. To the right, which you can’t see is a window. This is my set up based on Allison’s post. Finally, she turns off all the indoor light to remove the artificial lighting. She also recommends taking the photo earlier in the day when it’s bright and to also shoot by a window. Allison for Wonderlass recommends using only a piece of white foam board to help reflect the natural light onto the object you are photographing. It’s probably what I will be using for our challenge. As a result, there are several options I found that will help you get the best lighting for your photographs. Since this may not be an option for me I did some more research. Unfortunately, sometimes going outside isn’t an option. During my research I read that taking the photograph outside on a sunny day works best. Also artificial lighting, I have noticed, casts weird colors on the finished photograph. Natural light will help reduce editing issues in Photoshop. Many photographers recommend taking pictures using natural light. After some research, I also realized how important my lighting will be since it directly affects the look of my photo. That’s my personality and what I love seeing when I’m out in the land of the Web. As a result, I know that for my photo I want it to be bright, fun, and cheerful. To start this styled stock photo challenge, I did some research that most photographers may already know. Due to this, though we won’t win any prizes, we will win bragging rights (and that’s good enough for me.) While I am one of the latter, I am also very competitive.

We all have different photography skills, two of us are experienced photographers and the rest of us are more point-and-click, every day photographers.
