White Wall Wednesday: Episode 7
I’m very into fields lately, so I thought that for White Wall Wednesday we would dive into a more complicated shoot where I’ll be moving myself and a prop to a different background! This can be done with a sheet taped to a wall if that is what you have! I decided to use the white wall only to further the idea that you can use literally whatever you have. I had such a good time shooting this. The session started with a rope tied around my head and ended with me accidentally throwing my whole body into the wall. I ended up with a whopping 50 shots for this shoot, which is way more than usual so I had a harder time choosing the pose. As a rule I don’t like to shoot more than 10 images, and I usually stick to 3-5 as average. So this was tough for me!
What I outline in the video:
- Lighting for compositing.
- The importance of camera angle.
- Contrasting backgrounds.

Hi Brooke! I really enjoy these videos, you are my favorite inspirational artist and I have learned so much from you. Thank you for that! 🙂
I actually made an image the same way yesterday. I was going to shoot the whole thing on location, but as I was setting up everything I suddenly got accompanied by a whole school class on a field trip. I ended up shooting the background I wanted and went home to do the rest on a white background in my living room 🙂 It’s the latest post on my facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/FotografLindaKristiansen The story behind it is in the caption there as well.
I just wanted to let you know one more time how much I love your work and I really appreciate you sharing it with us. Keep up the amazing work.
your friend in Germany,
Kimberly
Another great video!
As I watched this, and when you started jumping backward I was waiting for you to sit down harder than you would like to. But you stayed on your feet, which is better than I would have done. LOL It was very interesting to watch!
When did you get the Sony? It looks a lot smaller, how do you like it?
Thanks for another inspiring episode! I think my husband is a little tired of me completely rearranging the apartment to have access to a blank wall, though. =p The shots of me used in this photo were taken on our decidedly yellow living room wall. I never would have even tried this prior to your WWW series! https://www.flickr.com/photos/natashalh/29193160026/
Wonderful photo. I am glad your husband is a good sport, and helps you out. 🙂
