Tuts+ Tips for Great Halloween Images
- Use props. There’s so much fun stuff around at Halloween, so don’t be afraid to go wild when you’re dressing your set.
- Get to grips with using ISO effectively and also utilising flash. Chances are, you’ll be shooting in low light conditions.
- Capture details. It doesn’t matter whether you’re shooting a kids’ Halloween party or filming a spooky cemetery—remember to pick up some close-up shots too.
- Autumn is full of gorgeous colours, but don’t be afraid to experiment with black and white too. Those high-contrast shots can really emphasise the spooky!
- Play with long exposures to create ‘ghost’ pictures!
