Lighting

The perfect lighting sets the atmosphere and offers you a firm basis for a professional-looking photo. If you prefer outside lighting, then sunset or sunrise would be the most propitious time. Try capturing photos beneath a porch or in complete shade. For inside lighting, you need to observe first which windows in your house receive the maximum light. You require light penetrating through a window which doesn’t seem too unpleasant and that offers you sufficient light to undertake a photoshoot without using the flash.

So these were some of the tips making use of which you can carry out an amazing photoshoot! If you have an amazing photoshoot of your baby that can inspire other young parents, do share with us at info@venuelook.com Or add your ideas in the comments below. Cheers!
