They prepare for the New Year in advance, buy a Christmas tree, buy outfits, food for the festive table, in some cases, the photo zone is included in the New Year's pleasant chores. We will tell you how to equip it in our article.
Design options
Photo zones are organized in offices, kindergartens and schools, in photo salons, at home. In a word, wherever there is a need for them and appropriate conditions.
Thematic entourage can be different: the setting is made up like a winter fairy tale, a cozy evening by the fireplace, a children's party.
Let's take a closer look at how you can use some of the plot options.
With watch
The watch is a symbolic element for the winter holiday, because it is they who will tell you when to enter that very next year and not miss its first seconds. That's why the presence of clocks on the territory of the photo zone is very organic.
If this element is taken as a basis, it is served in close-up and installed in the center of the site.
There can be many plots for the surrounding design.
- Photozone in style provence creates an atmosphere of home comfort. To this has a comfortable rocking chair with a white soft blanket that looks like snow and turns into snow tinsel scattered on the floor. Instead of a bookcase, a staircase was used - a characteristic technique for the style of the French village. Decorations of flowers and spruce branches diluted the soft white background of the festive corner. A couple of alarm clocks have been added to the company to the big clock.
- Clock made up from many roses, look unforgettable. Three colors are involved in the design - red, green and gold, they make it so bright. The corner looks impressive, but not every outfit can be photographed against its background.
Light light airy dresses, black tailcoat, white shirt will do. But the variegated and bright shades will dissolve in the heavy tones of the composition.
With fireplace
Nothing characterizes a warm, cozy environment more than a fireplace - hearth symbol... And since the New Year belongs to a family holiday, a photo zone with a fireplace is more than appropriate.
In private houses, if there is a fireplace, other topics are not even considered.
But in an office or photo studio, a fake hearth is made.
- A Christmas tree is always installed by the fireplace., lay out gifts, imitate snow in the form of a fluffy rug or shiny tinsel. It is not easy for the Christmas tree to be near an open fire, but no one asks her opinion, the main thing is that Santa Claus from the chimney through the fireplace to get straight to the Christmas tree and lay out the long-awaited gifts.
- A sleigh with a convenient basket is installed in the photo zone for the baby as a New Year's attribute.... You can seat the baby in it and hold the first photo session in his life.
With balls
It is difficult to imagine a Christmas tree without balls, they are as organic for the New Year's holiday as garlands or snowflakes. The balls only seem simple, in fact, they are very diverse in texture, size, color and can become the main background for a photo zone.
- If you try, the area for a photo shoot can be decorate by 80% with balloons. As a background, they look like air clouds, ornate gold, silver or pearl beads. Even a Christmas tree is easy to completely construct from colored balloons, and all that remains is to lay out the fake gifts.
The balloons make the setting romantic, light, ethereal in fact.
- Having a lot of balloons different sizes and only a few shades at your disposal, you can create a beautiful composition for a photo shoot.
With tinsel and garlands
There is nothing more natural and easier to decorate a photo zone with garlands and tinsel. We do this every year with the entire apartment, decorate workplaces, prepare halls for children's matinees.
- In style loft you can arrange a wonderful Christmas tree from garlands on a pallet displayed against the wall. It will become the background for the photo zone.
- Refined and simple to make a light curtain directly on the curtains, complement the soft carpet on the floor with several elements - and the corner for the photo session is ready.
- Only on New Year's Eve can become the background rain wall, and no one will call you tasteless for that.
Children

The rest of the attributes are added according to imagination and possibilities: figures of snowmen, Santa Claus, deer, all kinds of imitation of snow and, of course, garlands are connected. Take a look at these examples:

What should I pay attention to?
During the organization of the New Year's photo zone, nothing is left without attention: the place, the background, the light supply and the constituent elements.
It is quite possible to make a corner for a photo session with your own hands, you just need to follow some rules.
A place
The site should be sufficient to accommodate a family in addition to New Year's attributes to create a group portrait, that is, have parameters of about 2x2 meters. The photo zone should not be located on the aisle or where it can interfere with the celebration: at the laid tables or next to the dance floor.
The presence of mirrors in the room should be analyzed, otherwise the photographer himself may appear in the photograph.
Lighting
Properly organized lighting is an important dominant feature of a photo shoot corner.The quality of the pictures depends on it. A well-lit place is chosen to create the scenery. It is important that the window is not located behind the photo zone, and it is very good when it is in front of it. In the absence of natural light, you should take care of artificial light; photographers have special equipment for this.
At home, you will have to use a flash.
Color spectrum
The color palette of the photo zone is divided into two components - the background and the tonality of the elements. Sometimes they coincide, and you can see, for example, a completely snow-white fairy corner. In addition to white, blue, gold and brown are often your favorite backgrounds. The dominant shade is filled with the greenery of the Christmas tree and colored splashes of garlands, tinsel, gifts.
The photo zone, stylized for the general interior of the room and matching in color with it, looks good. But the contrasting comparison of the place for the photo session with the surrounding environment looks even better.
