How to take Fashion Accessory Photography
Fashion, like design, is all about the details. If your fashion accessories are looking sleek then your photography will look sleek as well. Sometimes it can be difficult to take good fashion accessory photography because we are used to taking portraits and it can feel funny to have a person in your picture but the focus is not on him or her. Here are some of my tips when it comes to taking fashion accessory photography:
- Talk to your model and make sure he or she knows what you’re doing, where you’re focusing, etc.
- Show them how you want them to pose to show off the accessory (literally make the pose yourself).
- Ask the model how he or she would naturally show off the fashion accessory.
- Think outside of the box and show off the accessory in a way you have never thought of before.
Although fashion accessory photography seems similar to regular portraiture, it’s pretty different. I love to look at Shaun Alexander Fashion Photography for inspiration.
