Shooting Stock Images at Home

PayrollCustomerServiceIt is a lazy, Sunday afternoon and my Wife, Amber, asked me to shoot a few photos for a LinkedIn post. Well of course!

A few hours later, we shot six corporate lifestyle photos in our living room. We used a white background, a black background (see photo above) and used our coffee table as a desk for a few “office shots.”

Photo Booth

I was asked to shoot photos at a woman’s dinner event during the Christmas season. My set up was simple and effective; I used two umbrella modifiers and a five-foot reflector at the feet. Along with a festive backdrop, our shots all turned out pretty well! Next time, however, I plan on using a center strobe to fill in shadows.
