Lifestyle Photography - Embracing the Unscripted

Need to escape a staged smile or an over processed pose? Ever wondered what it would be like to have candid shots taken of you and your family? Lifestyle photography is a version of the unscripted, and it might be for you…

But first, what actually is lifestyle photography? Think of it like “A Day in the Life of…” converted into a photo shoot. Allowing an event or scene to unfold candidly and in its own way, during which a handful of unscripted moments are captured into the digital realm.

Whilst you’ve planned a lifestyle photoshoot, don’t forget to mix in a posed scene or two, as they still fit nicely into the shoot. A lifestyle photoshoot can also look just a little like a documentary as well, perhaps consider a lifestyle photoshoot of a party in the park or baking a cake in the kitchen with family or friends.

Authenticity:

Candid and unscripted moments often result in more genuine and heartfelt moments, allowing natural connections between subjects to be captured and shared in your family. When a fake smile is present in the studio, everyone can pick it instantly, sometimes if the mood isn’t right, a fake smile is hard to overcome.

Connection:

Essentially the connection of shoot is not with the camera, it’s really amongst the participants and in the spirit of the event or function taking place. The connections are natural and flowing, rather than staged or posed.

Behind the scenes:

A lifestyle photoshoot is a bit like a behind the scenes sneak peak into the lives of the subject, you may have some particular event or scenes you want to flow and connect with in a natural way and have that documented.

Bringing it home:

What better way to bring it all home than in a modern photo magazine or coffee table book to share around.
