Matt Granger – Creative Home Portraits

Finding THE SHOT in a small home location is not easy – but the challenge can yield some really creative results. The clutter in a living room may be messy – but it could also work as a great prop, a foreground or background element, or be simply framed out of shot.

The presence of mirrors can be challenging, but with careful posing and angles, you can create some cool multifaceted images that take advantage of them.

In this 10-part 95 minute 4k video series we show you how to identify potential shooting locations in a small home, how to pair outfits and poses to each location, and how to select the best angles and focal lengths to create clean and inventive portraits.

Throughout the shoot we take advantage of the available window light, make adjustments to turn nasty overhead lighting into an asset, and also add simple off camera lighting to the shot for dramatic results.
