Transform your garden or any outside location into a stunning and unique portrait studio with just a large plastic dust cover sheet! In this tutorial, photographer Gavin Hoey will show you how to create artistic and dynamic backgrounds for your portrait photography using minimal gear.
Watch as the plastic sheet blows in the breeze, wraps around the model, and creates a never-ending array of photos that have shape and texture. The semi-translucent dust sheet blurs the background but at the same time allows the color to shine through.
Perfect for beginner and intermediate photographers looking to take creative portraits at home, in this video you’ll learn how to set up a plastic sheet as a background. Tips for working with natural light and how to use one light as a fill flash for location portraits.
