Colorful Flat Lays: Artistic Photos of Everyday Objects

Add a splash of color and visual interest to your Instagram feed with a vibrant, full-color flatlay!

This class is a great excuse to hone in your composition, lighting, and editing skills.

We'll start by collecting items around the house or office that are all the same color. Next we'll organize them intentionally across a scene taking our light source, shadows, visual weight, and balance into account. Finally we'll use a few simple light modifiers to capture a clean, effective image.

Stay tuned through the end for some simple and advanced editing techniques in Lightroom and Photoshop on how to get your image looking sharp, clean, and ready to share.
