Using materials in your photo shoot

In my opinion, styling is a very important part of every photo shoot. But how do you style? What do you use, and is it expensive?
To be honest, you can make it as difficult or as expensive as you want, the sky is the limit, so to speak. In my opinion, though, it doesn't always have to be expensive. The simplest things can often make the biggest difference. Take the following shot, for example:

Believe it or not, this photo was taken during a trade show demonstration at Professional Imaging this year. With Nadine as my stylist, you can always expect fun things. In this case, she used plastic that she had worked on with a crème brûlée torch to create this crazy effect.

It's a joy to photograph something like this. It's a real eye-catcher because of the reflection, the shapes and so on. And it's relatively easy to do, as you could see on stage, where Nadine demonstrated it for real.
So the next time you do a photo shoot, don't just photograph your model in beautiful clothes against a cool background. Try to challenge yourself to the limit and be creative.
