There more to an overhead portrait then simply looking down on your model, there’s the background, lighting and styling to consider. In this video photographer Gavin Hoey takes the overhead portrait idea on location and uses an area of green grass as his background. He also shows how working in the right kind of light can make a big difference and then adds some flash and props to create the final shot. After the shoot Gavin takes you through his editing steps to create a photo which has a warm, faded summer fashion look.
