This photo was taken in my sisters bedroom. She wanted an intimate holiday shoot so I brought lights and ornaments to spice up a plain background. It was a challenging shoot due to the lighting in the room.Time
This was taken in the afternoon, but I used no natural light.Lighting
I wanted to portray the love that a blended family has while giving it a cozy and warm holiday feeling.Equipment
This was shot on my Canon t5i with a 18-55 mm lens. I didn’t use any other equipment.Inspiration
My sister wanted a cozy holiday family shoot. I wanted to add fairy lights to give a warm feeling. I wanted to portray the love in this family.Editing
I did a little bit of editing in Lightroom to correct any lighting flaws since I didn’t have any of my lighting equipment.In my camera bag
I always keep a tripod with me as well as my camera of course! I also keep a telephoto lens and a few macro lenses.Feedback
I believe it’s important to play into your subjects strengths. For this photo I focused on the love of a family while adding holiday elements.
