Tuts+ Top Tips
- Try making a still life scene. There are tons of inspirational items at this time of year – bring in leaves, pine cones and gourds for a real autumnal feel.
- Remember the details. Group shots are great but if you’re thinking about creating a project, then remember to pick up closeups of decorations, lights and food.
- Get ‘behind the scenes’ footage and photos. It doesn’t all need to look perfect, so capture the frantic meal preparing, the kids running riot and the things that go ‘wrong.’
- Chances are you’ll have some soft, festive lighting. It can be difficult to photograph or film in this kind of light, so learn how to make the most of your environmental lighting and include flash or extra lights where needed.
- Be present. It’s fun to photograph holidays and events and the results bring back great memories, but remember to actually be there, engage, and enjoy yourself.
