How To Quickly Style A Model And Location For A Photo Shoot

March 14th, 2011

The guys over a Lighten Up And Shoot have created a quick video that shows how they quickly created some very compelling images of a model with very little work. I think its very easy for us to over-think when we are on a shoot but sometimes the easiest answer is the best answer.

I really like the cool mood for the shoot, they seems to have a lot of fun just giving tips away! Great bunch of guys for sure!

Awesome vid guys, I'm going to have to check out their site more often.

By the way, I think that one website add you have is a scam.

It says 60% off for us, but when I go there; it only shows 20% off. Should take it down imo.

@Mike, Hey Mike, no it's not a scam, Creative Motion Design is a sponsor of our site. The sale just ended and we need to change the banners. Thanks for pointing that out

@Eric - this is part 2 from Wednesday Rundown

@Matthieu - Music by Jeremy Buck and The Bang - JeremyBuck.com
(they were super cool to let us use their music)

I love the 2nd half of this shoot but is it me or did the first "non filled in" photo look way better than anything else in the first part of the video?

Totally agree.

@Stephen agreed. It's like Photography meets Improv. I heard they will be hosting a free 3 day CreativeLIVE class in the summer. Will def be checking that one out.
