Tip 1: Grab your laptop and a good Wi-Fi connection
While the world is ordered to stay at home as much as possible, artists are tasked with working remotely, which can come as a challenge since most of their creative projects thrive on collaboration. But the new normal has inspired a slew of photographers to keep on shooting — albeit virtually and over FaceTime — while in quarantine.
As fashion publications are reassessing how to work from home, many have started creating covers and editorials virtually, too. i-D launched a special project, titled"Safe + Sound," featuring models like Gigi Hadid, Adut Adech, Binx Walton, and more photographed over FaceTime by Willy Vanderperre. For Vogue Italia's April 2020 issue, an editorial with Bella Hadid was also done via FaceTime, shot by Brianna Capozzi.
FaceTime Photoshoot Tip #1: Grab your laptop and a good Wi-Fi connectionPretty self-explanatory as far as using FaceTime goes. Dameshek and his subjects both use laptops to shoot, but upon further research, we learned that Yorkshire-based photographer Tim Dunk, who's been shooting his own lockdown portraits on FaceTime, has his subjects use an iPhone for better camera quality. Either option works. Plus, make sure your Wi-Fi connection is at its best performance to avoid any blurry imagery.
While he was shooting the Herberts, he played with depth and perspective."For the most part, I tried to stagger them, or I had them lay on the bed and hold the laptop above them," recalls Dameshek."I had them put the laptop on the ground and stand above it, or prop it up on a bunch of books with Rene staying 10 feet away while Elisha is a little closer. I told them how to frame it, like having the computer down two inches, until it's perfect.
