Beach Photo Tip

Ellie's Better Photos Tip #1: Don't Blend In!

Looking through recent photos, I have discovered a rule for dressing for a beach photo session. Our gulf coast beaches have the prettiest white sugar sand. This makes for a lot of light areas in photos. However, if you look closely, the sand does not show up as pure white in pictures but as a soft gray/brown.

My suggestion is to avoid wearing pastels if you are posing on the shore. Especially if you want some gorgeous black and white pictures. Truely white clothes look great. Jeans and dark/bright clothes are fine. Light colors and khaki sort of blend into the sand in pictures. Sort of like a beach-camo. Digg Technorati Delicious StumbleUpon Reddit
