how to light an industrial shoot
when approaching a difficult photo shoot, you always need to be aware of your lighting. It is difficult to shoot a photo shoot using exclusively natural light. Additionally, it is difficult to have a good shoot using only artificial lights so lighting is very important in a shoot like this. basically, the idea is to give a raw feel to the photo while catching the brilliance of the various colors and textures offered. This may seem a easy, but it is not so. Pure photography has experience in industrial style photo shoots so give us a call or ask us a question and we would be pleased to see if we could help you out.

Holiday Shots
The Holiday’s are huge in terms of sales for a lot of industries! What do you do to capture the essence of the holidays? You can hire a reindeer or pick up a big man and call him Santa… All these are decent ideas. Here are a few things I have noticed regarding holiday advertisements.
1-Color. Colors show emotion in a special way. Some bright green, red, silver and whites can really give a Christmas feel without have a manger scene in the background.
2-Fantasy. Now this has to be curbed with reality, but a little fantasy brings adventure to the holidays!

What is Iconic?
So everyone is going around asking chicago commercial photographers to catch the perfect “iconic” image… what does that mean? I have a few ideas, however, that does not mean that my ideas are good.
Iconic… memorable? a memorable shot is important. something that makes a person remember the photo. Let’s all state the obvious, a naked girl makes any photo memorable…. but lets try to be creative. please!
Pizazz! I think something that grabs a viewers attention is usually something that may be a little different or something that connects with the viewer. Emotions and common ground are a good place to start if you have an idea of who your base is.
