Do A Photo-Shoot With Your BFF

What can we use if we don't have clothespins or tape to hang the sheet or blanket backdrop?

If you don't have clothespins or tape to hang the sheet or blanket backdrop, use binder clips, removable Command strips on a door or wall, or drape and secure the sheet over a chair and weigh the bottom with heavy books.

What should we do if our faces look shadowy even after adjusting the table lamp behind and to the side of the camera area?

If faces still look shadowy after adjusting the table lamp behind and to the side of the camera area, add a second lamp on the opposite side or hold a white poster board or sheet as a reflector to bounce soft light onto the subjects' faces.

How can we change the activity for different ages while following the steps like practicing poses and setting up the lamp and backdrop?

For younger kids, cut the pose practice to three easy poses, have an adult attach the sheet or blanket backdrop and handle the table lamp, while older kids can try six or more poses, more props, and advanced edits in the photo-editing app.

How can we extend or personalize the photo-shoot before sharing on DIY.org?

To personalize and extend the shoot, create themed DIY props, decorate or paint the sheet or blanket backdrop, use a smartphone timer or tripod for hands-free shots, and combine your best edits into a themed collage in the photo-editing app to share on DIY.org.
