Design a Garden Studio

For a photography enthusiast, the garden is not just a place to relax and enjoy nature, but it can also serve as an excellent set for a model folio shoot. In my case, I have transformed a portion of my garden into a beautiful pop up set for shooting model folios.

Designing the Garden Set

The design of the set is simple yet effective. The roof of the set is made of a translucent material which is designed to filter harsh sunlight, providing a soft and natural light for the photos. This allows for more control over the lighting of the scene, reducing the risk of overexposure and creating a more flattering light for the models.

Another feature of the set is the black fabric that is used. This fabric is designed to increase the shadows in the photos, adding depth and drama to the images. The contrast between the light and dark areas of the photo can make the models stand out more, highlighting their features and expressions.

Hand Painted Canvas Backdrop

One of the standout features of the set is the hand-painted canvas backdrop. This backdrop adds a unique and artistic touch to the photos, creating a beautiful and intriguing background for the models. The colors and patterns of the backdrop can be changed depending on the theme or concept of the shoot, providing a versatile and creative tool for the photographer.

What Will You Create?

Creating a set in your garden for model folio shoots can be a fun and rewarding experience. You can experiment with different materials and designs to create a set that suits your style and needs. So, what will you create in your garden?
