STYLING YOUR NEXT PHOTOSHOOT WITH DOT STICKERS!
As a professional photographer, I’m always on the hunt to create truly special images for my clients. It’s super important to me that each photo session is a smash hit, filled with creative images that capture the moment and push both me and my clients creatively. But as any creative knows, coming up with fresh ideas can be a real challenge. Pushing my work forward means I have to constantly innovate and think outside the box to offer something different every time I pick up my camera.
With this in mind, I wanted to share some insight into how I’m keeping my photography fresh and exciting.
I wanted to create something truly special for my clients, a show-stopping setup that would reflect their vibrant brand. So, I spent some time experimenting with colorful dot stickers and tested out self-portraits to make sure everything was perfect when they arrived. The goal was to match our aesthetics so seamlessly that it felt like magic!
The setup consisted of a white paper seamless backdrop and an assortment of dot stickers: 6-inch, 4-inch, and 1-inch in various colors. Even after covering the background with loads of stickers, I still had more than half left, so you can easily create several setups with different color palettes afterward.
You might think it took forever to put all those stickers on the background, but it actually took less than 10 minutes! Another bonus of this setup is that you can cut it, roll it up, and reuse it multiple times.
ALL THE
COLORS
Photographing one subject is a lot of fun, but photographing couples and groups is a challenge I love! There’s something magical about posing and balancing the frame that excites me! Now, when photographing more than one subjects in a background filled with color, you have to really pay attention to the colors and how they are playing with each other. In this case, all the colors together are an explosion of joy to my eyes!
Having worked with these clients previously, I knew they were going to bring lots of colorful outfits that were going to fit perfectly into the aesthetics of the background I created.
BLACK & WHITE.
So, what if colors are not your jam? Well, you can create the same set up using Black and White stickers, or you can even find them in muted, neutral colors! The sky is the limit!
The pictures below were made using 1 inch Black Dot Stickers, 1 Inch White Stickers, 3 inch Black Dot Stickers, 3 inch White Stickers on a White seamless in the background and a Black seamless covering the table. You can additionally add stickers to the clothing for extra pizzazz!
As photographers, we can never stop learning, experimenting with our craft, and pushing our work forward by striving to be creative. Whether it is by learning new light or camera techniques or simply styling a background with dot stickers. It’s all about thinking outside the box and providing your clients with fresh ideas that will wow their audiences!
