>>You should do a step by step post of how you do your photo shoots... Or at the very least share a vid. I know you are a youtube fiend, we can embed those here.

Well, I am working on a video going through a shoot step-by-step, but I'm so friggin busy these days I will likely never finish it. Sometimes I feel like I'm just spread way too thin

So, here's a quick photo illustration of my set-up....

I use a black backdrop and photo props. I have a set of umbrella lights that I use periodically, but not too often. I should use them much more often, but I'm too lazy to set them up.



I take a few practice shots, moving the prop either closer to the background decor, or further away, depending on how focused or blurred I want the background to look.





You can add some color to the background to spice things up. Rainforest/jungle flowers?


It's all in the imagination, those are cut up dish rags :D



Examples:








You can even go directly on the actual background props. These turn out better if the snake is inside/behind rather than perched right out in front.


The nice thing about ATBs is that it never gets boring shooting them :lol:
