Photography Styling Challenge

 

I love styling photo shoots. It infuriates me when I look at photos and see details that were overlooked during the photography session. I wanted to create instances that I could hone my skills and eye for styling, that were more formal, more elaborate, and more visual than my day to day blog posts.

Inspired by all the photo challenges out there, I thought I’d create one of my own. The purpose of this photo challenge was two parts:

1. Being my own stylist for a photo shoot.
2. Learning how to use my camera to its fullest extent.

The challenge is over now, but here were the rules:

Rules

1. No editing can be done to the photo other than edge cropping.
2. Camera equipment and tools of any variety may be used to assist in the photography.
3. Select 1-5 of your best photos, of the same subject matter, to be blogged.
4. The same concept must be blogged at the same time by all participants.
5. The only text acceptable for each photo is your watermark.
6. All shoots must be newly styled as of the first Monday of June 2013.

*All concepts were open to interpretation of the photographer.
