20 At-Home Photoshoot Ideas to Try
20 At-Home Photoshoot Ideas to Try While You’re Stuck Inside
By Chelsea Candelario
Published May 9, 2020
Tired of scrolling through Instagram wishing you could get creative outside? Well, lucky for you, there are plenty of ways to capture easy snapshots without leaving your house. From backdrops to looks, here are 20 at-home photoshoot ideas to sprinkle some fun into your feed.
Backdrops1. Backyard
Forget about heading to the park or daydreaming about your next tropical adventure, when you have a plant-filled paradise in the backyard. Whether you choose to stand in front of your largest (and proudest) plant or lay in a bed of roses, your outdoor oasis can be a lush backdrop that also shows off what a great plant parent you are.
2. Print Clippings
Remember covering your walls with the latest movie or crush of the month (hello, Zac Efron). How about bringing back some nostalgic memories and dusting off those old teen magazines you have stored in the attic? Just cover a blank wall with any clippings you can find and now your background is literally screaming with interesting stories.
3. Fun Wallpaper
If home décor is your forte, highlight your fave wallpaper in the house and let it do all the talking. No need to invest in photoshop work when you can take photos in front of the whimsical wall you already have.
4. Bedsheets
Possibly the easiest DIY backdrop ever? The options are endless, so grab any sheet (though we prefer white, black or grey) and prepare to look like you’re in a photography studio. Tape or pin it to a wall, lay it on the ground or even hang it over some furniture.
5. Milk Bath
While sharing your spa day in the bath is a nice flex for lazy Sundays, upgrade your next bath with bath bombs, fake florals and maybe...milk? When Ariana Grande shot “God Is a Woman” in a unicorn-colored bath, we knew we had to try to recreate it ever since.
Just fill up your tub with equal parts milk and warm water to create the translucent look (and yes, milk is OK to dip in, and thanks to its ingredients, it does super well for the skin) or try a water and bath bomb combo instead. Then, add some floating objects (like fake flowers or confetti), set your camera timer and sink into your design.
Props
6. Your New-found Hobby
What daily activity do you enjoy and want to share with the world? Is it running, embroidery or even attempting to recreate Bob Ross paintings? Whatever you’re interested in, capture the moment in action, while you’re preparing or even the end result.
7. Mirrors
What started as the “outdoor mirror challenge” on TikTok has bloomed into an easy (but weird) idea to try at home. All you need is, well, a mirror (doesn’t matter the size as long as you can carry it), the subject (aka you) and a great open space to capture your reflection.
8. Food
Let’s face it: Food pics are always in.
Many of us have found solace in cooking and baking, so what better way to show off your new skills than with a snapshot of your creation? Just grab your concoction, lay it down (or hold it in your hand) and let your food be the model. Bonus if you have a little furry friend make an appearance in the pic to “admire” your work.
9. Books
Spotlight your current, favorite or prettiest book—play coy by covering your face with the book, pretend to read a chapter or just place it on its own in a well-lit location.
10. Your Favorite Products
Give your go-to products the editorial look with a nice flat lay. Choose beauty, fashion or any products that are currently sparking joy during social distancing. Take a simple background (we recommend a magazine, printed paper or even your bright countertop), round up your items and start positioning them any way you like. Take the photo overhead (this is essential for the flay lay vibe) to get all the products in one shot.
Lighting
11. Snow Globe lighting
You don’t need state-of-the-art lighting to play with lighting patterns into your images. Surprisingly, all you need is a knitted blanket. (No, we’re not kidding.) Bring back your winter bedding, head under the covers and watch the sun pierce gently through the small holes for an added snow globe effect.
12. Golden Hour
Hey Alexa, play “Golden Hour” by Kacey Musgraves. In photography, the term means to capture an image shortly before or after a sunset. The popular lighting idea is all about timing with no disruption from any shadows. The “magical hour” can last 20 to 30 minutes, so grab your camera (and check the time) to capture the moment.
13. Shadow Play
Impress your friends by controlling the shadows (no lighting equipment or phone app needed). In photography, the term means to capture an image shortly before or after a sunset so there are no shadows. How to create this abstract look? All you’ll need is an empty toilet paper roll (yes, seriously), tape and your phone.
Just tape the roll over your phone's back camera for a DIY micro lens. (Bonus: Tape a transparent colored gel over the roll for an enhance look.)
Looks
14. Pillow Challenge
Another odd but interesting challenge to hit the internet is the #PillowChallenge. It went viral in April, and celebs like Tracee Ellis Ross, Halle Berry and Anne Hathaway have joined the craze. Grab your most festive pillow, wrap a belt around your waist and flaunt at the camera because this is what we’re doing now.
15. Outrageous Makeup
Take a risk and have fun with an out-of-the-box makeup look. Give your bright lid, bold lip or bomb highlight the spotlight in a close-up portrait.
16. Pop Culture References
Many events were canceled this year, but that didn’t stop people from recreating some popular Met Gala looks. Let Halloween come early and replicate your fave pop culture moment. Is it an album cover, meme or even the time Beyoncé broke the internet with her pregnancy news? The options are endless, and the only requirement is finding items already around the house to replicate the moment.
17. Wfh #ootd
Loungewear, but make it chic. Share your comfy look with a daily #ootd. The location, pose and outfit are entirely up to you. You’re the model and your home is the runway. Brownie points if your look is professional on top and party on the bottom.
Mixed Media
18. Facetime
We’ve been screenshotting our Zoom meetings this whole time, so why not turn it into a virtual photo shoot. Celebs like Demi Lovato and Cindy Crawford have jumped on board with the new photo idea and the results look like a ‘90s VHS filter. Just have a friend use their camera or phone and take a snapshot of their computer screen as you pose.
19. Recreating Childhood Photos
What better way to brighten up your family’s day than by recreating a few childhood photos? Find an old image you love, grab similar clothes (bonus if can find the same ones from the pic) and mimic the poses. The best part of the process is pairing both photos side by side and seeing the similarities immediately.
Throwback Thursday, here we come.
20. Projector
A projector isn’t only good for a nice at-home movie night. Set up your projector, let it play on a blank wall and let your imagination run wild. Become part of a flick, artwork or any moveable visual you can find online.

Background for a photo shoot at home. Top 10 ideas! LOOK!
I've said it before, and I'll say it again, a photo session at home for you and your children is simple, in every way.
Of course, no one canceled school portraits, this is part of the child's story, but it is necessary to shoot a child at home.
After all, the years are flying fast! Today we’ll talk about how to make a background for a photo shoot at home and what you can use for this.
This is not all that is needed for a good photo, there is still light, a composition angle, all this needs to be applied for a high-quality photo. On this site you will find answers to all questions related to photography.
In the meantime, let's start with the photozone.
Page Content:
- 1 BOTH FOR THE photo shoot at home - We do
- 1.1 Use curtains as a background
- 1.2 Walls
- 1.3 Need a white background, use polystyrene
- 1.4 Balls from balls
- 1.5 fabric
- 1.6 Original book background
- 1.7 Banner
- 1.8 Flower background
- 1.9 Tulle and garland
- 1.10 Fence
ru To be honest, at the beginning of my career as a photographer out of ignorance and misunderstanding, I got confused by the background. Studying professional photographs where the background was gray, white, black, I thought that this was the whole secret.
Do not shoot against the background of the carpet, be sure to read the article on how to conduct a photo shoot at home. I expected that now I will buy a background of such colors and my pictures will be just super!
I went to aliexpress and ordered a photophone for myself, you can see the link in different colors. But everything turned out to be wrong! For a good photo, you need not only a photo zone.
I would like to add that after the first photos, the Chinese background upset me, it came folded in a package and there were wrinkles on it, and I could not smooth them out, and the photo looks terrible with them. If I had known then what I know now, I would not have bought such a background. But that's all about the bad, but about the bad, of course, using them, I got experience and at the initial stage it was enough for me.
So if they suit you, you can take and use.
On a note, I will give examples that may already be available in your home and budget options that can be easily found and bought in any city.
Alright, let's go!
Use curtains as a backdrop
Curtains are very convenient to use as a photo zone - they are beautiful, tall, easy to store, and available in almost any color. There are curtains in every home, this makes the task easier and for sure the curtains are already hanging in your house. Then just pull them up and stretch.
If you don't like the curtains you have, you can buy new ones according to your taste and hang them if necessary.
Walls
Advertisement Wildberries.ru
Depending on the idea of a photo session, you can use any walls on the street and in the house as a background. After all, the walls are different in color and texture.
Painted walls in a solid color - this is a ready-made professional photophone for a photo shoot, decorative plaster, wallpaper, and bare brick generally looks great! Do not be afraid of creativity, show your imagination, the more unusual the pictures are, the better!
Need white background, use foam
If you want a photo session on a white background, but there are no walls of this color.
You can take foam plastic is a great option for a portrait photo shoot.
Lightweight, inexpensive and readily available, sold in hardware stores and markets. Photographers sometimes use it as a reflector, but can be used as a background.
Make a background from balloons
An excellent backdrop for a photo shoot at home will turn out from balloons, photos will turn out festive! Such a photophone is well suited for photographs of a children's holiday.
Children love balloons and during the game you will get funny, emotional shots. If you take a chest photo, then you can get by with a small number of balls.
But if you're planning a full length photo, then you'll definitely need patience and a pump. You can hang them with the help of threads and needles, insert the needle into the fillets and hang the balls at different heights.
Fabric
Plain fabric is ideal for portraits. Buying it is not difficult, a large selection of colors.
You determine the size yourself based on your ideas. The fabric is sold in rolls, so it will be even, but even if it is wrinkled, it can be easily ironed. You can stretch and fix it with the help of wooden slats.
We twist the quadrangular frame, stretch it with a stapler and put it against the wall. The second option is to attach the slats from above and below for weighting, hang on the wall.
I recommend reading the article what professional backgrounds are and where to get them, they are cheap, you can use them.
Original background from book sheets
A creative photo background will be made from book or magazine sheets. Or even if you have a lot of unnecessary books, then use whole open books spreading them out, for example, on the floor.
We take fiberboard of the right size, PVA glue, an old magazine or an unnecessary book and sheets of glue, random or symmetrical, as you like. You can add volume to the sheets by bending them a little.
Banner
Aliexpress sells various photo backgrounds with flower patterns, wood structure, in general, with different textures. I leave a link for review (here). So you can order such a photophone there, or you can not wait so long, but order it at an outdoor advertising agency. True, there is one drawback, the banner gives a glare.
Contact the agency, tell the idea, the designer will select a picture for you and print a banner of the required size for you. You can also stretch it in the house with the help of rails. I can’t say where it will be cheaper at a company or on a Chinese website, it depends on the prices for services in your city.
Flower background
A beautiful backdrop for a photo shoot can be made at home from paper flowers. Flowers are made, watch the video very easily, you can make flowers from corrugated paper or colored napkins.
Flowers can be attached to any sheet material fiberboard, MDF, OSB, plywood.
Of course, you need to tinker a little, but the result is worth it.
Tulle and Garland
Photos with lights always look pretty, here's an idea. Fasten a white fabric under the tulle so that the window does not shine through the tulle. Gather the tulle itself into folds to add splendor. Take a New Year's garland, fasten it to the tulle.
It is better to take pictures when it gets dark outside, otherwise the daylight will interrupt the light of the garlands. Or assemble this structure against the wall.
Fence
If there is an interesting fence nearby, why not use it as a background.
If you're creative, you'll get great shots. Even against the background of the old fence!
Let these examples inspire your own ideas.
And do not forget that the background for a photo shoot at home is only part of a good photo, you still need light.
In the next article I will tell you how to make a black background on a photo without a physical photo zone, using just light.
do it yourself step by step with a photo
Do you take photos for social networks or do you plan to blow everyone away during a corporate shoot? Use our tutorials, ideas and professional tips to create original makeup for a photo shoot. Photos are attached!
Features of makeup for photo shoots
You can sort out the details ad infinitum, but by and large they all come down to three main “highlights” (which, by the way, apply to both studio and outdoor makeup) . So you must:
1. SET THE TONE
When it comes to make-up for a photo shoot, it is important to carefully work out the skin. The primer will even out the surface of the face, the correctors will hide imperfections, the foundation will create the perfect tone, and the concealer will hide signs of fatigue.
2. BRIGHTEN
The camera “eats” about 30% of the color (or even more), so don't be afraid to make your makeup unusually bright and accent. In the mirror, it may seem excessive, but in the frame it will look amazing.
3. POWDER NOSE
Oily shine ruined a record number of photos, so be sure to powder the T-zone before shooting. Why not all skin? If you overdo it with matting, the face will appear flat.
The difference between make-up for photo shoots and the usual one
Let's face it: the beauty tricks that you use in everyday life most often do not work in front of the camera. What will you have to give up?
- Light foundation.
- Unstable formulas.
- Aggressive strobing.
- Maxi brows.
- Careless shading.
Contouring is definitely a thing of the past, but no one has canceled beautifully defined cheekbones in the frame, so you can safely “sculpt” your face.
Makeup artists advise you to switch to the side of non-touring and make the play of light and shadow as delicate as possible so that even in the photo the image remains natural.
Do you want a make-up like in this edition of Makeup in the City? Just follow our step-by-step guide, match the shades to your color type and get inspired with Maybelline NY!
Other highlights of makeup for photo shoots include tighter tone, brighter contrasts and more layers. In general, almost everything with the word “more”.
Review of cosmetics for make-up for a photo shoot
Peace of mind and only peace of mind: almost all the necessary cosmetics will surely be found in your cosmetic bag. Opt for waterproof formulas that won't float when you shoot.
• Foundation. Choose dense textures that will create a perfectly even tone. For example, Superstay24 with a super long-lasting formula and patented Micro-Flex technology (provides smooth coverage all day long).
• Corrector and concealer. One hundred percent must have in a cosmetic bag for a photo shoot! They will help hide pimples and dark circles under the eyes no worse than Photoshop: use The Eraser Eye
•Powder. Transparent transparent Face Studio Fix - to remove oily sheen and fix makeup, and bronzing City Bronzer - for touring.
• Highlighter. In the light of spotlights, the highlighter on the skin can look like a greasy spot. What to do? Mix a drop of Face Studio Strobing Liquid Cream Highlighter with foundation to create an original effect of glowing skin from within.
• Primer. The Face Studio Prime makeup base in a white package will help prolong the durability of the make-up, even out the skin texture and “hide” enlarged pores.
• Blush. The shade of blush should be the same temperature as the skin tone. Warm coral will look out of place on pale marble skin, and cold pink on tanned golden. Dream Matte Blush has three perfect seductive shades and a creamy texture that blends easily onto the skin.
• Mascara. Choose a brush that, even without a curler, will help curl your eyelashes and give them a bewitching volume. Spoiler: just like the cult Lash Sensational
• Eye shadow. Use shadows in palettes (for example, Countdown or The Nudes): the shades in them are already selected taking into account compatibility.
• Eyeliner. Even if the arrows are not your thing, draw the space between the eyelashes with the Tattoo Liner gel waterproof pencil: this will help make the eyes brighter and more expressive.
• Eyebrow cosmetics. Thick eyebrows are still in trend, but only if they look natural. Line individual hairs with the Brow Ultra Slim pencil with an ultra-thin lead and apply Brow Drama tinted brow mascara.
• Lipstick or lip gloss. The camera mercilessly highlights all the roughness of the make-up, so take care of a clear contour with one of the eleven shades of super-matte Super Stay Ink Crayon! The stick shape with a sharp tip and durability up to 8 hours is the perfect choice for a photo shoot.
How to do your own make-up for a photo shoot: step by step instructions
It's not as complicated as it seems! At least if you follow the step-by-step instructions from Yura Stolyarov. Start with a video lesson, and immediately after go to independent practice.
You will need
- Dream Urban Cover.
- Brow Pomade.
- Brow Drama mascara.
- Eyeshadow Color Tattoo.
- The Nudes Eyeshadow Palette.
- Colossal Mascara.
- The Eraser Eye Concealer.
- City Bronzer.
- Face Studio Chrome Extreme Highlighter.
- Powder Fit Me.
- Super Stay Ink Crayon Lipstick.
Before makeup, be sure to cleanse the skin with a gel or foam, and then wipe with a tonic (it draws impurities from the pores and tones the skin).
Ready for make-up magic?
How to make lip makeup for a photo shoot?
We have already said that the camera highlights all the imperfections, and this fully applies to the skin of the lips. Moisturize it with a balm, especially if you are going to use a matte lipstick.
Do you want to increase the size of your lips? Feel free to use a pencil to go beyond the contours and adjust the shape, and then apply lipstick in several layers. It is most convenient to use a special brush: it will help to make the sides of the lips symmetrical.
Eye makeup for a photo session
To create a harmonious and original look, it is important to consider not only the shape, but also the color of the eyes. Properly selected shades of shadows and eyeliner will make them even brighter and more expressive!
Makeup for brown eyes
Almost any color suits brown eyes, so you can safely try everything from pale purple eyeshadow to green and blue eyeliner.
Among other shades that most advantageously emphasize the color of the eyes, gold, lavender, green and pink.
Makeup Ideas for Blue Eyes
Let's start with the palette: golden, grey, mauve, peach and pink shades will suit you. The shadows should be 1-2 tones darker than the natural color of the eyes, otherwise they will appear dull, and it is better to choose brown eyeliner and mascara.
Make-up for green eyes
Cold shades of blue and silver are in the stop list. In the must have category - any shade with a reddish undertone, especially purple, bronze and plum. Green shadows for green eyes? Yes, this is also possible, but the shades should be different.
If you have gray eyes
Contrasting shades emphasize the color of the eyes, so blue, pink and plum shadows look gray. Dark gray smokey ice will also look original, especially if you use pink, purple or champagne for shading.
Makeup for a photo shoot in the studio
Make sure to moisturise your skin before applying make-up to ensure that your make-up goes on smoothly and your face shines.
Remember that it will be hellishly hot under the spotlights, which means that matting and waterproof cosmetics are indispensable. Ready to shoot? Then get inspired by our makeup ideas for a photo shoot in the studio!
Creative Makeup
Try pop art makeup or floral makeup with real flowers. This photo session will definitely be remembered!
Bright make-up
How about an unusual combination of shades? For example, yellow shadows and blue mascara or eyeliner. To prevent makeup from accidentally sending you to the 90s, make the contours as clear as possible.
Light makeup
Behind the scenes of no-makeup makeup is actually a small beauty army of decorative cosmetics. Choose from subtle nude shades and try combing your hair back to reveal your face.
Unusual make-up
Unusual eyeliner is a trend that has crossed the catwalk border and boldly walks on beauty blogs. The easiest option is to emphasize only the lower eyelid or remember geometry lessons.
Delicate make-up
Even the most delicate make-up for a photo session is indispensable without light contouring (non-touring). Use several shades of concealer and carefully blend the borders.
Beautiful makeup
Smokey ice, cat's eye or banana? Choose any of the techniques and intensify the emphasis on the eyes with a highlighter: add a little shine to the corners of the eyes and under the eyebrows.
Makeup for a photo shoot on the street
In winter and summer… no, not in one color. Open air dictates its palette for every season. And, of course, its own characteristics: in summer you can’t do without formulas with SPF, and in winter you can’t do without nutritional components in cosmetics and, of course, highlighter.
Winter make-up for a photo shoot
For a hygge-style shoot (plaid blanket, a cup of hot cocoa, a cozy sweater) we recommend choosing a warm palette, and for a photo shoot on the street - cool shades of gray, blue and pink.
