Creating hero images for advertising using talent

Article12

It is always a fun day when I am booked to photograph talent wearing product. The studio is filled with people; clients, models, hair and make up artists and sometimes stylists as well. This is an image I shot for a Scoop Magazine full-page advertisement. It was a fun but tricky shoot. The placement of the hands and the jewellery had to be just right. Three hours after we started, we finally had the shot!  I had to work on the images digitally to sharpen the pieces and soften the skin a little, but in overall, what we shot on the night is what you see right here.
