PHOTO MOOD BOARDS

Mood boards are a great way to put your thoughts together in pictures. It’s one of my must haves when preparing for a photo shoot. I find it especially useful when working with new beginner models wanting photos for their portfolio. It helps to give them some creative ideas as well level set expectations for both of you.

My process for building out a photo mood board is pretty straightforward, Google search! Why build out your own technologies when you can leverage what’s out there already.

Process for creating a picture mood board.

Step 1 – Definition – Loosely define the theme of the board (you can refine it later if needed)
Step 2 – Image Search – Use online search to help you find images like the ones you want to take.
Step 3 – Build Collection – I use Pinterest boards to build out each of my mood boards, it’s simple and easy to do.
Step 4 – Refine the Collection – Once you have a collection of images you can use Pinterest boards to add sections creating sub-sections to the main board.

That’s it, pretty simple to create a photo or picture mood board for your next project.
