One of the biggest misconceptions about fashion photography in a studio is that it’s boring. Don’t let the plainness of the classic white and black background sets fool you, studios can be bold, full of color and full of life. Try taking your studio photos to the next level by focusing on color, using interesting props, and creating a visual interesting set. With some creativity, eccentric background colors, and getting your hands a little dirty with set building, your studio fashion photography is sure to stand out.
Want to see examples of this kind of photo creativity in action? Lindsay Adler, renowned fashion photographer and instructor, commonly incorporates Savage seamless paper into her work in creative ways. Here are a few recent tutorials from Lindsay’s New York studio team, showcasing how she elevates her studio photography by creating unique sets for her fashion model.

“Especially with fashion photography, everything is about collaboration. I find talented people to put beautiful things in front of my camera… and you can make beautiful things out of nothing more than scrap seamless paper!”


“One of the important things to keep in mind anytime that you build a set or you’re planning a photo shoot is that there’s no right answer, it all depends on intention!”


“We decided to use the color palette of the wardrobe to inform all of our other creative decisions.”
