When your creativity shocks you in the best way possible.
Each month, I create an editorial-style photoshoot to promote my blog, business, or test my skills.
October is spooky season, and I created a DIY self-portrait photoshoot to highlight my skills while also creating something fun and groovy.
Let’s Get Into It
The photoshoot
I decided to try my hand at a spooky fall photoshoot.
The concept was a scary teddy bear mask from Dollar General paired with a regular outfit I wore the previous weekend. I was supposed to take photos in that fit, but I thought it would be great for the self-portrait. It gave that retro vibe I wanted for that shoot.
So, how did I do it
I set up the backdrop first. A simple mix of cotton spider webs, a few tapes from Dollar Tree, and a red piece of fabric I randomly found in my stash.
Color is one of my elements. I love mixing different hues and textures to create a cohesive piece that makes editing fun.

The challenge
I am going to continue using October as a month of experimentation. Using elements to create content that is not only engaging but also fun and challenging for me.
Being a creative is literally about testing different concepts, combining your skills, and developing fun art.
Don’t overthink it.
We want to see your final product.
What’s next
Something pretty and chic with a dash of spook!
