Studio Tips

Light and delicate colors are suitable for family, individual (for example, during pregnancy) or wedding photo shoots.

For the “Love story” style, calm tones are suitable with a dilution of bright decorative elements (greens, balls, red hearts, etc.).

For boudoir photography, any play of color elements, both light and dark, is suitable.

• Style;

The most common direction is the hi-tech style. It is often used for filming various talk shows, photo shoots of married couples or other individual programs.

The retro style has receded into the background, but fans of the "old fashioned" style still delight themselves with amazing photographs. Some models choose this style for portfolio (always looks good).

• Space;

Small rooms - subject shooting or individual, spacious - design ideas for any kind of photo shoots.

• Light;

Most of all, photographers prefer to use rooms with daylight. This helps to more accurately display in the photo every contour, down to the smallest detail, of the object being shot.
