A Winter Flat Lay - Stylonylon

I got a little bit Christmassy for a flat lay I created for a recent Olympus event where I had to talk about the new Olympus Pen E-PL7… Full disclosure: I covertly borrowed the sparkles from a little display in the hotel lobby, ahem…

And when I went to return them the display was gone. So now I’m shedding little silver stars and crotchets everywhere I go! I set up custom white balance for the first time for the top shot – something I totally recommend when you’re shooting against a white background; saves on the post-processing time. You can see the difference compared to the more detailed shots, which I took first and aren’t quite as white… So the whole theme was a bit wintry, cosy and sparkly, getting ready for a crisp night’s ice skating… Somerset House soon please!

And if you are in the Southampton region this Thursday evening, pop into John Lewis where fashion photographer Jay McLaughlin and I (a righteous double act if there ever was one!) will be chatting about and demonstrating the E-PL7 from 5pm-8pm… Promise it will be fun!
