xo. Sof.
cool, but… what is it?
it’s a photoshoot over facetime or FB messenger
Yup, you read that right.
These virtual photoshoots were created in the height of the 2020 Corona Virus Lockdown.
They were used as a creative outlet and to have a way to still create artistic images while all being stuck at home.
Here are 3 blogs that went viral last Spring including working with Brittnee from Big Brother.
how does it work?
We book a time to video chat at night and the start of the call is all about us figuring out the light in your home together.
We take all the available light options and set you up a little area right in your home.
Then, shoot time.
how do I prep?
Get Ready. Do your hair, maybe some makeup, or not, no rules! These images are going to be less “glam” than the viral artistic ones. We will aim for a more professional vibe and simple look. We suggest wearing enough makeup that you are comfortable but maybe not your “Going Out” makeup look.
Relax yourself, grab a tea, glass of wine or whatever chills you out.
Find a place in your home where you can be uninterrupted for your shoot. You won’t be more than 15 minutes total.
the light tho.
Before your shoot your homework is to find anything that lights up that you can use in your shoot. Essential oil diffusers, flashlights, ring lights, twinkle lights and just regular bedside table lamps have been used in these shoots.
Sofia will walk you thru the lighting portion once you are on the call.
no hands
Please also make sure you have something to prop your phone up for the shoot.
Things that work well are iphone stands / tripods if you have one. Many have used some tape on the back of their phone to stick to something in front of them. The most winning setup seems to be a taped phone to a mirror in the bathroom.
Don’t worry too much, past shoots have used boxes of noodles, pillows and kids toys so don’t ya worry, we got this.
