Make 'yourself' as interesting as possible! No social media 'filters.' Remember you are capturing yourself in a new & creative way. Though you may have someone else actually click the button - YOU must be in control & direct the shot.
Try some tips & tricks of creativity -
-
Change your perspective: Get on the floor, climb on a chair, tilt the camera at an angle
-
Play with lighting.
-
Introduce a prop.
-
Capture an emotion: Let loose and get silly. Maybe somber or even the start of a tear.
-
Try black & white - or maybe some BOLD color
-
Focus on a single body part.
-
Take a series of shots at once (flip book style).
-
Look for silhouettes and reflections.
-
Shoot through objects.
-
Use the sun as a light source.
No matter if you are looking for the perfect reference for your sketchbook or for that perfect shot with the camera, keep the following in mind:
-
Try a new point of view, get down low or stand above & over your subject
-
Think beyond the obvious & and be creative
-
Always be thoughtful of your composition - PLAN your space! Remember you MUST utilize MARGINS in your sketchbook
