Creating Mood Boards for Photoshoots

Creating Mood Boards for photoshoots

 

I love creating mood boards. It helps in telling the overall story and mood for a photoshoot. Mood boards are basically a visual story board that is provided to all whom is involved with the shoot. Creating a mood board starts with curating a set of images. The images I use are mostly from browsing through Pinterest (btw you can follow me there at Kia Hammond Photography).

 

The way I create a mood board is by using Microsoft PowerPoint. There are other ways such as using adobe spark in which I use from time to time. I create a blank slide (usually white) and arrange images onto the slide leaving some white space to insert text information pertaining to the shoot.

 

Below is an example of a mood board I created for a past shoot. It is not as detailed just a simple one. If there are makeup artists involved and stylist, there would be more details. I aim to one day to work with a full team of hair and makeup artists as well as stylists.
