Halloween

Witches, vampires, and the one month costumes count as wardrobe.

Halloween shoots reward commitment: full witch silhouette with the hat, a proper vampire cape, face paint finished to the hairline. Costume-store pieces photograph better than they look in hand once the light drops — the camera hides cheap seams and amplifies silhouette.

Shoot at dusk or in a dark room with one warm light source; a jack-o-lantern doubles as a practical light. Fog from a small machine turns any backyard into a set. Book this shoot in September — October light disappears fast and calendars fill faster.
