As a model here in Second life, taking quality photos of the outfits I model for vendors often comes down to finding a good location which is suitable for the outfit.
That said, Second Life provides a plethora of places to snap the perfect outfit shot.
There are several places where you can find a beautiful backdrop for your
photos. Just look into your Flickr to explore some incredible and pretty
amazing worlds which are just a click and a jump away.

In an ongoing effort to educate and introduce the many, many wonderful
locations here in SL, every month I will feature one location and provide its’
url link so that my readers can enjoy and partake in the same
splendid scenery that I use as backdrops for my modeling.
This month, I am modeling this gorgeous blush pink and white
SAS Chloe Glitter Blush Dress & Jacket as an exclusive for Swank Events,
August 2019 - It's stunningly beautiful, fresh and YOU!

For many here, getting access to a secret garden can be a bit of a luxury
because they are private, but many places here offer gardens that you can use
Calas Galadhon’s New Santorini is one such place -
It is such a gorgeous place to experience and enjoy with
its many hidden treasures. The modeling photography shown here
within the context of this blog are selected shots of the New Santorini.
Extraordinary beautiful white painted villages, blue-domed churches
and paved paths are all lovingly and painstakingly recreated

It is perfectly okay to introduce additional biophilic colors to your presentation.
Just remember to have the colors in your dress harmonize with those around you.
No matter where in Second Life you visit, you can also find an interesting
colored wall somewhere nearby. This photo for example is taken at my SL home,
using the Hurricane Frolic ART DREAMS painting by Jolie as a backdrop to this dress.
Note that the same background color used in Jolie’s painting is a spot-on
match to the blush pink color of this SAS Chloe Glitter Blush Dress & Jacket.

| To appreciate art, one must see Jolie Parfort's timeless work. In addition to her paintings, she captivates your heart with this beautiful Mystery Vase Set. |
However, much depends on how you take the photos and the lighting you choose.
I love to play with the Windlight settings to capture the perfect mood.
Since the introduction of “street style” fashion, I have found that streets and paths
have been a very great place to shoot. What makes them unique is that often times
you get enough clear space to get good depth of field.
For these types of shots, you want to get the ground plane
minimized as much as possible, and to do this you set your camera
at a low angle and shoot upward (it also gives you longer legs too).
Also, please notice that in most of my shots I love the juxtaposition of
diagonal lines with vanishing points. Very often I will take a photo at a lower
angle to dramatize this. Just be sure that the horizon line (where the
ground meets the sky) is carefully considered otherwise you
will just get a boring photo of your avi on the sidewalk.
Staircases make great subject matter because you get a sense that
this scene is just a fleeting moment and that you are venturing along its climb.
You can sit, stand, walk up, walk down, get a lot of different angles
with a stair. Plus the horizontal lines of the stairs (like this one at the
New Santorini) adds subtle clean texture to the photo.
Just be sure your outfits don't get lost in the photos since, with so many
things going on at these places, it can easily happen. Enjoy your journey!
