Inspired by movie and TV posters, this portrait style is about selling an illusion. Generally, these are shot with a grey or green background and they all about creating a series of images that will have other elements like backgrounds and effects added to them using Photoshop.
How it’s done
We set up a grey or green background and light it sympathetically with the type of picture you want us to create. We’ll direct you into a series of poses that will seamlessly blend with the backgrounds and effects when they are added later.
This style works best for
- People who want a portrait that is in a location or scenario that would be difficult or impossible to do in real life
- You if you are looking for a piece of digital art.
- For advertising campaigns
- For stand-out social media posts
- For imaginative types
- For you or your family, if you have ever wanted to be a superhero a fairy princess.
- Products as well as people.
What should I wear?
- These types of shots have to be specifically staged and the outfits and props are vital to selling the illusion. Choose them carefully and everything will look real.
What should I bring?
- A storyboard of ideas for what you want to achieve
- Props and outfits to match the scenario.
- Your acting ability – you need to lose yourself in the character or scenario you want to create.\
