Variety of autumn photo zones
If it is cloudy and rainy outside, and you have planned a photo shoot in nature against the backdrop of bright autumn landscapes, do not be upset. The photo zone will help you out. You will learn the secrets of decorating a beautiful autumn photo zone with your own hands at home, in kindergarten, at school and on the street from this article.
What to use for decoration?
To create a spectacular background for pictures, you can order a banner from designers, rent a ready-made zone, or, by including inspiration, create a suitable thematic setting yourself. Making a photo zone with your own hands is not so difficult and expensive, if you carefully think over how to decorate a photophone. There are many options for decoration. Here is some of them.
-
Balloons. Today not a single holiday is complete without garlands and bouquets of balloons. They can be used to make autumn trees, weightless blue clouds and cute raindrops. The main thing is not to get carried away too much and remember that the balls are just a pleasant background, and people will occupy the key place in the pictures.
- Paper garlands. Fluffy pom-poms, hearts, and homemade paper leaves in traditional fall colors add richness and vibrancy.
- Growth flowers from isolon or corrugated paper - sunflowers, dahlias, asters, poppies - will become a necessary accent for a bright holiday and create a feeling of generous autumn color.
- Natural flowers. It is impossible to imagine an autumn holiday without fragrant chrysanthemums, variegated asters, solar physalis lanterns, red ears of wheat, scarlet bunches of mountain ash and red viburnum. Place pots with live chrysanthemums and vases with flower arrangements on the floor, place them on tables, bedside tables.All this wealth will perfectly convey the generosity and colorfulness of the autumn season.
- Autumn foliage. You can decorate a place for a photo shoot with wreaths and garlands, bouquets of dried flowers and foliage. Bring some creative clutter to your environment. Spread a heap of dry foliage on the floor, on the table, on benches.
- Vegetables and fruits. Huge ruddy pumpkins, pot-bellied zucchini, crimson bunches of hot peppers and multi-colored apples - such a colorful composition will decorate any place and create a real atmosphere of a holiday of a rich harvest.
- If necessary, replace vegetables and fruits with dummies made of plastic or foam. Mushrooms, pumpkins and zucchini can be made independently from frozen polyurethane foam.
- Baskets and furniture. Wicker accessories and vintage wood furnishings add style to the ambiance. Time-worn chairs, artificially "beaten" or aged wooden frames, crates roughly knitted from plywood, old-fashioned suitcases - everything will come in handy to create a special atmosphere.
- Additional accessories. Don't forget about them. Antique lanterns, candlesticks with candles, wicker jugs and wall panels - everything will be used. Homemade dishes will also come in handy: ceramic mugs in juicy autumn colors, clay jugs and village pots, picturesque Khokhloma. Warm soft scarves, socks, mittens, scarves and hats - all this makes the atmosphere at home sweet and kind.
- Textile. The drapery of light transparent fabrics will perfectly convey the image of a light golden autumn. Soft pillows, warm plaid throws, rustic woven rugs radiate an atmosphere of warmth and comfort.
- Hay. Hay bales add a touch of flavor to your photos. In an urban environment, it is difficult to stock up on such an exotic material, but if you really want to, you can buy hay or straw at a zoological store and create an excellent imitation.
Ideas with a place in mind
When creating a photo zone, be sure to take into account the peculiarities of the place where the photo session will take place.
In room
- In kindergarten. Not only a beautiful backdrop will help to decorate the hall for the autumn ball. You can decorate the ceiling and walls of the room with garlands and balls, hang autumn leaves around the perimeter of the hall, paint mirrors with autumn motives with gouache. The layout of a wooden forest hut, a composition of growth flowers, umbrellas look great in a children's theme.
- At school. It's a great idea to use your chalkboard as a backdrop for your photos. It is enough to decorate it around the perimeter with suitable accessories, and a wonderful background for memorable photos is ready. You can arrange an art space in the lobby, lobby or recreation area, where there is a lot of free space.
- At home. In home photo sessions on the theme of "Autumn", the setting plays a solo role. Warm clothes in light pastel colors, velvet blankets, flickering candles and bouquets of autumn leaves - and your photos will preserve the atmosphere of a wonderful autumn evening. An interesting designer find is to use picturesque jars of homemade canned food. It will turn out to be very appetizing and cute.
Outside
Where there is a lot of space, there is room for the embodiment of the most fantastic ideas. In the garden, in the country, in the forest, in the park or in the field, you can put volumetric structures and use the most unusual accessories. Benches and tables, ladders and swings, bird feeders and houses, fences and hemp: everything that seems attractive to you, feel free to use it in the frame.
Wherever you take your photo, don't forget about the crucial factors for successful photographs: the right light and a great mood.
A photo session is a holiday, which means that ensuring happy smiles and shining eyes on the faces of the participants is your main task.
Organization Tips
When starting to organize a photo zone, decide what will be required for its design, whether it is realistic to carry out your plans, taking into account your budget.
-
Remember that at least 3 people should sit quietly near the photo shoot area.
-
If you need a backdrop, consider the material and construction of the photophone.
-
The prefabricated photo zone made of light metal furniture fittings is easy to assemble and disassemble, does not take up much space. You can store such a base for a photo zone in your home pantry.
-
Backdrops made of wooden beams or plywood are heavier and cumbersome and require reliable fixation. It is more convenient to store and use them in large rooms or outdoors.
-
An original and budgetary theme is to make a photo zone out of cardboard, paste over it with wallpaper imitating a tree or brickwork.
-
You can apply to the case separate frames, suspended from the ceiling in the room or on the branches of trees in the garden.
If there is no way to create a photophone, use the objects and furnishings that suit you.
-
Doors and walls are suitable as a backdrop in the room, where it is convenient to make draperies from fabrics, hang balls, fix other decor.
-
Don't neglect the beautiful flights of stairs. This is a very creative option for a photo shoot.
-
On the street, in a garden or in a park, pay attention to fences, gazebos, swings, arches.
-
At the school courtyard or in your yard, make a photo zone of wooden pallets and stairs.
-
In the forest or in the field, lay blankets and bedspreads on the grass, and arrange the composition to your liking.
Don't forget about lighting. If the shooting will be at home, be sure to stock up on additional lamps so that the faces of the participants are well lit: they do not fall into the shadow and do not turn out to be overexposed.
Think over the construction of the composition. Spread the bright decor evenly to maintain the correct color balance in the frame.
Avoid too bright colors in the backdrop, otherwise your bright decorations and the participants in the photo shoot will dissolve into chaotic variegation.
When designing a photo zone for children, remember that not all kids like to be photographed. For a successful photoset, create a playful atmosphere in the frame, and surround the child with familiar objects.
-
Put fruit in your favorite car.
-
Dress up the doll in the outfit of the Queen of Autumn.
-
Make a funny scarecrow that you can hug and hold by the hand.
-
Create a light and relaxed atmosphere so that the participants in the photo shoot feel calm and natural.
