Hi, I'm Vanessa from Wild Empress. I am all about creative photography, conceptual photography, composite photography, self portraits, book cover photography and Photoshop tutorials, how- tos and speed edits. I also like thrift store shopping, and all things DIY for props and costumes!
There are a lot of ways that book cover photography differs from other photography niches. One of the biggest things is during the actual photoshoot, the composition, the details, and a few other things to keep in mind. I go over some of the most important aspects to keep in mind when going into a shoot. This will make it so that you get the most usable images and ensure you are not wasting your time! This video is all about how to shoot specifically for book covers, and also goes over things to avoid if you are coming from experience in shooting clients, for lifestyle or family type portraits. You will begin to see what makes book cover photography unique. If you are interested in more information and other aspects of book cover photography check out a few other videos I have linked below.
