Last week, we discussed how to compose spiral staircases<\/a>. In this post, let\u2019s see how we may add mystique to glamour in fashion photography.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe story<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nHave a look at this image I shot in Sydney. Walking along in Elizabeth Street, one of the main shopping areas in Sydney\u2019s Central Business District, I spotted this eye-popping decoration in the show window of a designer store. The crisp paper arrows around the outfits forced the prospective buyers to drool over the sleek lines of smartly-crafted pr\u00eat-\u00e0-porters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adding mystique to glamour challenge<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nIn Fashion Photography, mystique enhances the glamour. While props and sets can give a vanilla shot, the true embellishment comes from adding a dash of pizzazz by getting the viewer to do a double-take.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Adding](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.travelure.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Show-Window-1-768x1024.jpg?resize=696%2C928&ssl=1\")
<\/a>Adding mystique to glamour – Show window in Sydney – Shot 1<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe shots<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nBy itself, the garments draped around headless mannequins were a sight to behold. I snooped around for the possibility of a powerful frame. From an angle, a reflected building grid that occupied my blind spot filled the vacant areas of the frame. A stark layering was visible and was adding the much-needed added dimension to the frame. Shooting from the front is not always advisable. Finding a proper angle in such scenarios helps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Adding](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.travelure.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Show-Window-4-819x1024.jpg?resize=696%2C870&ssl=1\")
<\/a>Adding mystique to glamour – Show window in Sydney – Shot 2<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nI chose a vantage and shot a few frames that had a pronounced reflection of the buildings across the street. While the traffic was playing spoilsport, minor editing helped cut out the disturbance. I used the graduated filter and darkened the traffic clutter. The resultant shots had the drama associated with fashion photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let me know which of the two shots you prefer and why. It will add to my learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
