When planning a subject photo session, you need to prepare for it properly. Thus, the photographer should have a system of tripods to be able to work from several angles. It is important to have several light sources, as well as softboxes or diffusers. Consider in advance how the post-processing will take place, whether you will do the retouching yourself or outsource this task.

What can be used as a background?
The background in subject photography is as important as the subject itself: it sets the overall mood, but should not draw excessive attention from the viewer. Different materials are used as a background: wood or chipboard, a sheet of absorbent cotton of a suitable shade, stone or its imitation, black slate board, textured fabric, laminate or linoleum, kraft or wrapping paper, plaid or carpet. Shooting on the background of chromakey – a monochrome green background, on which then with the help of the program is applied the desired picture. If there is no desire to spend time on the choice, you can shoot objects in a softbox, and then at the stage of post-processing cut them out and place them on such a substrate that the customer chooses.
Properly set up the camera
Post-processing can correct any imperfections in the pictures. But a properly set up camera will reduce the amount of work for retouchers, which means less time and money.
- Manual mode and aperture priority mode are suitable. The more it is opened – the greater will be the effect of blurring the background.
- Use a low light sensitivity (ISO) so that there is no strong digital noise in the photo.
- Do not rely on automatic white balance, adjust it manually so that the real shades are not distorted.
- Favor an external flash. It gives soft shadows and calm light and shadow patterns, and does not create the visual sensation of a “flat photo”.
