So, I tried to make a home photo studio area using a thrifted sheet that I keep meaning to turn into a dress, and all the lamps we have in the room, plus the tripod.
The result: mediocre at best.
At least my outfit was super cute!
but it wasn't shiny like the pictures made it look:
And the only way I could keep my eyes from becoming huge flashes of light was from not looking at the camera, which, frankly, makes me look a little too wistful.
Outfit details:
Lace shirt: Ross, part of a dress combo
Dress: thrifted Avenue skirt turned into a dress
Boots: Target
Headband: etsy, ages ago, forget which seller
Curly hair: courtesy of sponge rollers worn overnight!
How do you awesome photo takers take indoor pictures that turn out so great? Glasses-wearers, how do you keep your glasses from reflecting the flash?

Your lace blouse! Your outfit is super cute and I do like your new hair now!
That outfit is the epitome of cute! I adore you in it!!! I know what you mean about indoor photos & glasses! We try and take pics slightly from above me to avoid the glare.
My kitchen gets the afternoon light, so I try to take pics in there in the afternoon if I am home. You can also do some adjusting in the "post-production" phase to correct for underexposure.
If I get a lot of glare on my glasses I just take them off. I know it's not an entirely accurate depiction of my outfit then, but it's a small sacrifice. :)
Thanks so much Merry!
Monkey - you are so sweet to say so. I think I may try setting the tripod a little higher to see if it helps with the glare - thanks for the tip!
Alexis - I love your photo spot, right by your door - it looks like you have a very cute and vintagey house! That's a good idea about adjusting the pictures afterwards - I'm going to try doing that!
Isn't it a pain?! You did well! I went through this the other day and let me just say.. your results are far better :p I love the background fabric, and your outfit <3 Did you cut some off the bottom to make the straps for the jumper?
Hi Brenda - thanks for commenting!
The straps were quite a journey, actually. At first I used some brown iridescent ribbon that was very pretty... and I sewed the straps on too tight/small because I didn't factor in seam allowances. When I ripped them out I nearly destroyed the delicate silk overlayer of the skirt, so I took it to an alterations shop along with a cream colored cotton blouse that didn't fit me anymore, and she made the straps from it and attached them. So, I can't fully claim this was a DIY, though the idea was all me!
