One of the most exciting aspects of a fantasy glamour photoshoot is the chance to create a unique character, to craft your own story.
To prepare for your photoshoot and make the most of this experience, it's essential to consider your outfit, theme, and character to ensure that you feel confident and comfortable in front of the camera.
In this blog, we'll discuss some tips and ideas to help you prepare for your fantasy glamour photoshoot.
Plan your character…
Think about the kind of character you would like to portray and how you can bring them to life through your clothing, makeup, and poses.
It is an opportunity to step out of your comfort zone and create a character that embodies your inner self or persona.
Consider your personality and the elements of the theme that resonate with you the most. Are you drawn to the strong, independent female characters, or the more vulnerable and romantic ones? This will help you create a character that is unique and true to your personal style.
Find reference photos for inspiration…
To start, you need to find inspiration for your fantasy glamour photoshoot. You can gather ideas from Pinterest, Instagram, or other sources online. Look for images that inspire you, such as fairy tales and historical mythology, draw on your own interests and hobbies, favourite books or movies
Spend some time researching different themes and costume ideas that inspire you. whether you're going for a classic fairytale vibe, fierce primal warrior, mythical goddess, or something a little more modern and edgy.
Remember that this is your chance to let your imagination run wild, so don't be afraid to be bold and creative
Plan your wardrobe…
Once you've settled on a character, it's time to start planning your wardrobe. Think about the clothing you will need to bring your character to life, Your outfit is a key part of your character. Consider borrowing items from friends, visiting thrift stores or costume shops, or even creating your own costume from scratch.
Look for pieces that are unique and make a statement, whether that's a flowing dress, a corset and leather pants, or a bold and colourful bodysuit. Mix and match styles and fabrics to create a truly unique look, bring in chunky leather boots and belts, floral headdresses, gloves and long cloaks.
Another fun idea is adding in face and body painting, even glitter makeup for some extra sparkle.
Props and Accessories…
Props can add an extra layer of creativity to your photoshoot. Think about items that would fit your theme, such as a sword for a warrior valkyrie or a wand for a fairy. Maybe you bring a crystal ball and tarot cards for a mystical seeress, or a human skull and cauldron from something witchy.
Props can help you get into character and add depth to your photos. You can bring along a collection of twisted branches to create a forest, or stacks of books to create your own library in the studio.
The right accessories can take your outfit to the next level. Consider adding statement jewellery, hats, flowers, masks to complete your look. Just make sure that everything you choose is consistent with your theme and your character. get creative and experiment with different materials and textures, look for materials that fit your theme, such as fabrics, lace, or feathers.
