Editing for mood hasn’t been a focus in the studio lately, as priority has gone to set dressing and costume design.
However, with Procreate Pocket and Mextures, it’s becoming a lot easier to edit photoshoots the way I used to.
What are your favorite photo editing apps and programs?
Makeup is a very important part of portrait photography, especially boudoir and glamour photography.
Not that a model must have a full face of makeup on, but that the makeup can make or break a shoot, as well as have shooting concerns.
📷
This eye makeup is very bold, and needed a light, bright set. When shot against darker backdrops, the makeup looked much more harsh, as did the photos themselves.
Harsher makeup can still be beautiful, it just may not fit the theme of the photoshoot.
Darker makeup needs a brighter light/set to cut harshness.
An overdrawn lip may look disproportionate at certain angles and perfect at others.
False lashes may only show up in certain angles.
As we do our makeup or provide direction for the makeup artist, we must keep in mind the set, the theme, the mood, and the angles.
I don’t know about you, but I don’t have as much time or space in the photography studio as I used to.
Gone are the days of using a DSLR, desktop/laptop editing, swapping out lenses and dressing a set.
(For now, at least)
As space and time get constricted, and camera phone quality continues to improve, the transition to shooting and editing portraits on a cellphone came naturally.
📷 📱
Editing doesn’t have to be complicated, especially on your phone.
So follow me as I do a quick, routine portrait edit for a flapper-themed boudoir photoshoot, shot and edited on an iPhone 6s.
This is the original, straight out of camera shot.
We’re going to run this through the convenient (and free) Lightroom app so that we have a consistent look throughout the rest of the shoot.
Boost the colors and contrast.
You can see where the backdrop ends and the studio wall is showing, so right in the photo gallery editing section we’re going to use the marker tool to fix that.
For the last step, we’re going to smooth skin, boost select details, and add some blur, reminiscent of a shallower depth of field given by DSLR lenses. For this, I use Facetune.
And here’s the finished portrait, shot and edited on a phone with simple tools.
We can get more complex later, but we don’t need to go all out when we shoot and edit portraits.
📸
When we lack the space, time, and even finances to do shoots with a DSLR,
camera phone photography and self portraits are a great way to make some beautiful work.
