To maximize your lighting setup and time in the studio, consider doing two photoshoots in one.
Start with the simpler set, simpler hair and simpler makeup. The second shoot should have the more elaborate makeup.
Remember that it’s easier to build than to remove.
This strategy works even faster when the two shoots use the same lighting setup and backdrop, but of course feel free to switch it up between photoshoots.
Have you ever done 2+ shoots at once? What looks can you think of that would work well being shot on the same day? What shoot looks are complementary?
Can you guess what the second set in this double shoot was?

Artist burnout is real.
And to be honest, sometimes our response is to work even harder.
Take time to rest.
And when you start making art again, try something different.
Slightly new, or wildly different from the art you usually create.
Try a new technique, a different strategy, use different tools. Get your heart excited again.
How do you bounce back after creative burnout?

What’s your favorite accessory for photoshoots?
This handmade floral unicorn headdress was a first for the studio!
Most of the headdresses in the photography wardrobe are modeled after a demon, satyr or nymph aesthetic, so a unicorn horn was definitely a change!

What hair color do you think would pair best?

What’s your favorite way to source backdrops for your fantasy photography? This one is a ‘sigil’ floor mat that’s been framed by thrifted lace throws and scarves… not mention lighted by a few standard floor lamps from a department store.
It really can be that simple to create a thrifty, simple photoshoot that looks gorgeous!

Final images from the Golden Goddess alternative fashion photoshoot. It was such a pleasure to finally use the studio’s new 35mm lens, and try a different lighting setup.
This photoshoot features a handmade harness by Charlie’s Revamps and a horned floral headdress from the Blessed Shadows shop!
It’s been wonderful to practice lighting that’s better for showing off design, as I’m not a huge fan of photographing with high-key lighting.
I love those dark, sultry shadows, which don’t always go hand in hand with studio photography meant to inspire sales. Practice is paying off, so it’s nice to see a little more detail in those darker costumes like the one in this photo set.
Sometimes we, as photographers and creators and models, need to practice letting our designs stand out and not fade into the shadows, literally and figuratively.
