I am having mixed emotions as I sit down to type this post. The Photography Styling Challenge is on its last leg and I am amazed how far we’ve come. First and foremost, I’ve grown fond of this eclectic collection of participating bloggers; some of whom are amazing professional photographers, whereas some (like me) are…
Photography Styling Challenge #11 – Living Room
Ha! Just when the themes were getting sort of abstract, M throws a curve-ball! It’s back to the basics, by inspiring us to polish our ‘styling’ skills for this one. The challenge has that very word in it, lest we forget. If the title didn’t clue you in already, this month’s challenge is ‘Living Room‘….
Photography Styling Challenge #10 – Light
After managing to scrape through somehow the last couple of months, I am so ready for this month’s Photography Styling Challenge. But I will also be keeping it simple. This month’s theme is Light – that which dispels darkness and sustains us. For this month’s entry, I will leave you with this thought – “Only through…
Photography Styling Challenge #9 – Fashion
I was not sure whether I would be able to post this month’s challenge entry on time. We are on vacation – in India! Yay!! Fashion, or rather, capturing fashion, is not one of my strong points. I prefer photographing still life – things that do not have moving limbs and definitely, not a mind…
Photography Styling Challenge #8 – Patterns
Around here, the first Monday of the month can only mean one thing – time for another Photo Styling Challenge post! The themes are getting quite challenging with each passing month. This month’s concept is rather interesting – Patterns. They are all around us. We just need to look for them with a critical eye….
Photography Styling Challenge #7 – Chaos
Welcome to the latest edition of the Photography Styling Challenge, the first one in the New Year. Are your resolutions already forgotten? Just kidding!! This month’s concept is Chaos. To make it interesting, there is also a constraint to use 3 items from last month’s Order shoot. Let me start with a chaotic shot of…
Photography Styling Challenge #6 – Order (Organization)
Welcome to yet another edition of the monthly Photography Styling Challenge. I cannot believe we are halfway through the challenge already. It seems like yesterday that I chanced upon this challenge on M’s blog and decided to play along. I cannot tell you how much fun it has been and how much I have learned…
Photography Styling Challenge #5 – Bedroom
By now you guys know what the Photography Styling Challenge is, right?! If not, please go here, take a look and come back. I shall wait. So, ever since last month’s challenge post was published and done with, I’ve had an uneasy feeling about the next theme – Bedroom. The most important room in the…
Photography Styling Challenge #4 – Morning
Ah, the first Monday of October. Time for yet another Photography Styling Challenge post. Usually I crib about the days flying by, and a little Boy growing up too fast for my liking. But when the last week of a month rolls by, I find myself looking forward to our monthly challenge posts! This month’s…
Photography Styling Challenge #3 – A Wall Vignette
Welcome to part three of the monthly Photography Styling Challenge. The first month we photographed food, then we styled a table setting. This month’s theme is wall vignette. For this challenge, I wanted to create something fun, preferably textured, and that got me thinking about a Basket Wall Display. I initially toyed with the idea of creating a…
A Pretty Table Setting & Photography Styling Challenge #2
Its time for the second installment of the monthly Photography Styling Challenge. The first month we photographed food and the challenge for this month is to style and photograph a pretty table setting. It is easier said than done, because our dining room is small, has no windows and I need to photograph it when the…
Photography Styling Challenge #1 – Food
Two of my favorite blogs, Redesigned By M and Red Lovin Pixie, have issued a monthly Photography Styling Challenge starting in July. The first month’s theme is Food. The objective is to get to know our cameras, whether a point or shoot or DSLR and other equipment, better. And also to develop a keen eye…
