Shooting with a white background is far from my favourite setup, but sometimes you have to 😀
When I started out with photography the white background was hot, and used all the time (I was always more a light grey fan). So of course I had to learn how to shoot it.
One thing that I learned after the posing books was finding the lines in a pose.
Sometimes it’s a nice flowing S-curve in a pose, and sometimes I loved working with triangles.
Now in all honesty I didn’t really look for triangles, it just happened that all the shots I really liked had some triangles in the poses.
It’s been interesting to go through my old work for this episode of Digital Classroom.
I thought it would be fun to dedicate a whole episode on the way my photography changed, but also my vision on my own work and the way I work with models, sets, lighting and styling.
Of course you can use the paper for many different things. We could have build a dress out of it, used it as a backdrop with loads of wrinkles and tears, or maybe on the floor with the model lying on or under it, in essence the sky is the limit. So the next time….
