The world sees ads quickly flashing across the television screen or while flipping through the morning newspaper. Companies only have four to five seconds to grab the reader’s attention with an advertisement and keep them interested to read on. Since a photograph can bring a product to life without one single word, advertisers believe in its ability to attract consumers. Think about the Got Milk ads. Yes, they have the celebrity appeal, but even the ads portraying the more common folks posing with milk mustaches invokes emotion and draws us into the image. People of all walks of life can appreciate the pictures that have brought the sexy out in drinking milk.
Putting a photo shoot together is one of the ways advertising agencies can create a picture that is worth a thousands words. Photo shoots can help a company express passion and inject emotion into a product. Demands are high in photo shoots, since cost and time constraints are always contributing factors so the client and their agency must agree on certain expectations.
Below are tips for a successful photo shoot:
• Leave the actors on the acting set. Use real people like actual customers or employees, rather than models. The photo shoot itself is more natural this way making the picture more genuine.
• Don’t skimp on retouching. An audience can be captivated by the added special effects.
• Lighting is everything. Natural lighting versus stage lighting is going to determine the mood of the photo whether it’s going to have a natural feel or an abstract artsy feel.
• Don’t forget the details. Little details like sprinkles on an ice cream cone or lipstick on a coffee mug give the visual accents needed to round out the mood of the shoot.
• Location, location, location. The world is your backdrop. If an exotic location is not practical, have the creative team create it in the studio.
Creating an advertisement using a less is more approach to copy along side an eye-catching picture is the start to a successful campaign. Remember pictures have stories to tell, but it takes a good photographer to paint the canvas.
