Creative props and controlling your light
In this episode of How Did I Shoot This One?, we’re thinking outside the pot! 😄
How do you turn a simple flower pot into a creative photo prop? And more importantly: how do you control the light to make the whole image work?
In this photography tutorial, Frank takes you behind the scenes of a colorful and slightly crazy studio shoot with model Felisa. We look at how creativity, styling, and studio lighting come together to create an image that is anything but boring.
Frank also compares two different softboxes — the Quicky and S26 — and explains how their design affects the spread, contrast, and falloff of your light. You’ll learn how to choose and position a light shaper based on what you actually want the light to do, rather than simply choosing a softbox because someone tells you it is the “right” one.
This is a practical how-to photography tutorial about creative props, controlling your light, understanding light modifiers, and getting more creative with the equipment you already have.
Sometimes the best prop is the one you never thought you could use. So next time you see something strange at a market or thrift store… think outside the pot! 😉
