FOLIAGE TIP
> PEOPLE
By Meg Simone
Once the colors come out, be ready to
photograph your family and friends with
these helpful tips.
WEAR COMPLEMENTARY COLORS
Choose clothing that creates a dramatic and
artful contrast with fall colors. You can’t go
wrong with a denim top! Blues or purples can
look striking against yellow leaves, while white,
tan, or gray will make you pop out from dark
foliage. Avoid wearing busy prints— plaids
play off the coziness of the season, but florals
against foliage can be too much for the eyes!
If you have a pattern top on, try portrait mode
on a smartphone; it will blur the colors in the
background while keeping the emphasis on
your subject.
INTERACT WITH THE ENVIRONMENT
Toss leaves while taking a selfie—or have
someone else toss leaves while you pose for
the photos. Find a few favorite leaves and hold
them straight out in front of you so the photographer can focus on the leaves while the
subject is slightly blurred in the background or
vice versa.
FRAME WITH FOLIAGE
Use overhanging branches or trees to create
natural frames around your subjects, like
walking down a foliage-covered path. Don’t
be afraid to put distance between you and
the foliage you’re trying to capture—a great
opportunity to get a full tree and your subject
in one photo!
