Halloween is just around the corner, and what better way to capture the magic of the season than with photos of adorable super hero’s and scary pirates? Whether you have little ghosts, ghouls, or furry friends dressed up in adorable costumes, there are plenty of opportunities to create lasting memories.
Here are five tips to help you take amazing Halloween photos of your kids and pets:
Lighting is key
Opt for natural light whenever possible. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can create harsh shadows. If shooting indoors, use soft, diffused light. Lighting is the key to every photo. Halloween is a great time to play with shadows to create a dramatic affect.
Get down to their level
Take photos from your child or pet’s perspective to capture their unique viewpoint. Not like the above photo!
Background matters
Choose a background that complements your child or pet’s costume. A pumpkin patch, a spooky desert (here in AZ), or even your own backyard or front door can be great options.
Capture the details
Don’t forget to zoom in and capture the intricate details of your child or pet’s costume.
Have fun!
The most important thing is to enjoy the moment and create lasting memories. Let your child and pet have fun with their costumes, and snap away! Remember a photo transports you back in time so make it one everyone wants to remember.
Happy Halloween!
From you friendly neighborhood photographer!
