Photo courtesy of Studio Vino Paint and SipPhotographing Your KnitsToday we are going to play a game of pretend. Here are the tips I am going to use when photographing you in your beautiful sweater:I am going to create a visual frame with the nature background, like we talked about last week.I am going to place you at least six feet in front of the background we are using, for example, a gorgeous blooming lilac bush.I also recommend using a low F-stop/aperture (f 4.0-6.0) or the portrait mode on camera to help the camera focus on you and your sweater and blur the backgroundI also will double check to make sure there aren't any hard shadows from tree branches coming across your face or garment
