Hi there!
I just recently added more content to my webpage and completed my gallery section with realistic model photography and I though, why not post a blog post too? :)
So here I will share 3 quick tips on how to take great shots!

So here I will share 3 quick tips on how to take great shots!
1. Have a clean background! :)
I personally think this is sooo important, a messy background will really make the photo less eye catching and very distracting to look upon.
Especially with model horse photography, were normal sized objects in the background will immediately destroy the realism of the photo. In this picture I held the model up with my hand so that I got treetops in the background, with light shining on the leaves.

2. Low and up close! When taking photographs of model horses, be it Schleich or a Breyer, you need to get in the same level if you want it too look realistic. I personally use to take out some sort of blanket with me so that I can lay on the ground, wich often offers the best perspective, but you can also use something like a bench to place your model upon which also help to get the background looking in the same scale. |
3. Manual settings I reeeaaallyyy recommend taking the time to get to know your camera and how the manual settings work since it will be of great aid when taking pics. Using the manual settings will give you complete control of your camera and greatly increase the chance of getting the the photo you would like. With your camera you will get a manual that will explain all functions but I also recommend that you simple take your camera, and try! Try how changing the settings changes the photo, and how different light, affects how the settings works and are used. |
Last, but not least, my best tips to you is PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE! :)
