LIGHTING
GOOD LIGHT IS KEY TO A GREAT PHOTO
Smartphone technology gets better every year and camera quality has soared in terms of light sensitivity and professionalism of the imagery. The Baby Box Studio app is designed to work seamlessly with these modern advances, using green screen technology to place your baby into ever-changing backgrounds for printable, shareable, lovable photos! For the best results, read on for a helpful guide for creating the best lighting to achieve the perfect shot.
NATURAL LIGHT
Natural light is quite simply the most beautiful light. Set up your new Baby Box Studio on the floor near a natural light source with the front of the studio facing the light. If natural light is not available, simply be sure your room is lit brightly. Helpful Tip: be sure to light the baby and the green screen from the front — not from behind.
ARTIFICIAL LIGHT
If your natural light source is limited: any available light or lamp will do. Set up your studio in a brightly lit room or bring a lamp or light source within a safe distance of your setup. Helpful Tip: Most smartphone camera technology is built with an exposure feature to balance the amount of light taken in by your smartphone camera, just before you take the pic.
BUILT-IN FLASH
If your baby is sleeping for your mini photoshoot and the lit is dim, use the flash on your smartphone camera to capture photos. Helpful Tip: get the perfectly positioned shot and you can brighten and adjust your photo when you upload it to the Baby Box Studio app.
