How To Photograph Yourself With Lawn Ornaments
Glamor Portraits with Kitsch
The Discount Photo Tricks online photography school continues, this time with a glamor photography lesson with lawn ornaments.
Choose Your Location
I chose the boring part of my backyard that had decent light. You should really wait until the light is beautiful and golden so that you look hotter. Looking hot is very important. You might want to get botox before you do this.
Choose And Pose The Lawn Ornament
I’m originally from south Florida, so I went for a nice pink flamingo. You could do garden gnomes or other garden inhabitant. If you are unattractive, you might want to choose something that will make you look more attractive, or wear a paper bag.
Pose With The Ornament
I wanted to look kranky and because I was hot and had a headache. The bad exposure and composition are on purpose, I swear.
Things To Think About
You should match the color of your lawn ornament to your own attire. I put on my pink “models wanted,” t-shirt because it was a close match to my flamingo. I do own a fabulous pale green polo that is very palm beach but would have looked horrible with that background. Ironic t-shirts are great too. Plus nothing is hotter than an overweight person in spandex. (I really mean that.)
