Studio White
Beauty Photography Tips from Eagles Nest Studios N.Y.C
Photographing beautiful daylight headshots and beauty shots has never been easier
at Eagles Nest daylight photo rental studios. New York City's Eagles Nest daylight
photo rental studio has always been the photo rental studio of choice for daylight
photographers whether it be fashion, still life or headshots. With the wrap around
windows the daylight soaks into the white space and bounces everywhere to create a
luminous glow to your imagery. So how exactly do you create these beautiful natural
light daylight images at Eaglesnest Studios? First it goes without saying that you
start with a beautiful model and a great make up artist. Since you will be shooting a
natural light image condusive to lifestyle, model portfolio photography you will want
a light and natural style of make up. Nothing too heavy or dramatic here. Best thing
is to use the "KISS" system or "keep it simple stupid". Just a light natural make up
that covers the blemishes, touches up the eyes, glosses over the lips should do fine.
Just enough make up to clean up the skin and face but not to much to compete with
the models natural beauty. After that just add daylight to your photograph. You
have several options on how you can manipulate the sun to get your desired effect.
#1. You can use direct sunlight. This can be a hard sharp light and be very effective
if used late in the day when the angle of the light is lower in the sky. Too much over
head (high noon) will create deep eye shadows and a not so pleasant "raccoon" look.
Direct sunlight will create hard dark shadows that can be filled in or lightened by
using either white foam core reflector cards, silver reflectors or for a warmer tone a
gold card.
#2. Diffused daylight through a silk. At Eagles Nest daylight photography rental
studio we have a 1/2 stop Chinese silk that slides across the south windows that can
diffuse the hard sunlight into a soft (pardon the pun) silky light that wraps around
the subject and bounces around the room. This creates a soft yet still crisp light that
is perfect for your headshots or beauty photography. Again you can use your white,
silver or gold cards to bounce more light into the shadows if you wish.
#3. Back lighting your subject while using the 1/2 stop Chinese silk is a very nice
effect. Your subject will be rimmed with light and be side lit on both sides of the
face. Again you will want to fill in the front with bookend foam core flats to reduce
the contrast between the front of the face and the sides.
#4. Work the flat open shade. At Eagles Nest Studios you have alot of options for
your daylight photography setups. Eaglesnest Studios has south west daylight so you
get great light all day long. We also have a full cyclorama where the light comes in
hard on the cyc. If you put your subject in the non lit shade portion of the cyclorama
you get a nice even flat daylight photograph that is perfect for beauty photography.
These are just a few of the unlimited options that shooting at Eagles Nest daylight
photo rental studios in mid town Manhattan can provide for you. The important
thing is to just explore with your camera and unleash your creativity while
discovering your perfect photo and have fun! Remember at Eagles Nest daylight

How can I make the background white on a studio shoot and keep the natural floor shadows in Photoshop?
I have a portrait image that I have shot in the studio and am looking to take the background completely to white, but still keep the natural floor shadows, does anyone know of a tutorial or the way to do this? I don't want to cut it out completely otherwise I will loose that detail. If anyone can help this would be fantastic!!
Thanks!
You could use the dodge tool to lighten the background until it goes white. You will have to be very careful and subtle around the subject though to stop it looking fake.
