AI photo shoot in Santorini: dealing with the domes and the sea

Santorini evokes white volumes, blue domes and an opening onto the sea. For a virtual shoot, the challenge consists of maintaining a readable character in an already very expressive architecture.

Distribute the masses in the frame

A dome behind the head can attract as much attention as the face. Visually move the subject in relation to the background volumes and provide a separation between the contours. A slightly wider shot can make the composition clearer than a tight portrait filled with architectural elements.

Choosing between portrait and moving dress

A portrait favors expression and the upper body. A long dress requires space for the silhouette and the fabric. These two intentions can coexist in a collection, but they do not imply the same framing. Check for creases and ground contacts in full-length views.

Balancing the blues and whites

A blue dress can interact with the domes, but it can also blend in with them. A lighter or darker color or material contrast helps to distinguish planes. Also check if the face retains relief in very bright areas.

AN EXAMPLE TO MOVE FORWARD

Putting this idea into practice

For a romantic series, alternate a calm portrait, a silhouette and an open view of the sea. The illustrative image shows a search for atmosphere; the previews of each pack remain the best point of comparison before choosing your collection.

Before choosing your images

  • Separate the head from the bottom volumes.
  • Provide space for fabrics.
  • Check the detail of the whites and the face.

To prepare your series, also consult how the studio works and packages and their total amounts.
