Unusual Fall Photoshoot Ideas 
You don’t have to go far to figure out what to shoot in the autumn. The changing weather, moody days, colorful landscapes, and props are enough to give you a range of ideas. Here are some of the more unusual and unconventional ideas for fall photoshoots:
1. Design your scene
Start at home. Pictures of autumn don’t have to be just outdoors. With all the colorful leaves, fruits, nuts, and berries, you can do an easy home set up for flat lay designs. You can create a styled shoot in the comforts of home to showcase the elements of fall that make the season so unique. Test your creativity and imagination with things you can collect outside and at the grocery store. This idea gives you enough room for creativity to capture the mood and spirit of autumn in an artistic way. Get some props and products – food, elements of nature, clothing, fabric, tea, and have fun. Arrange them on the table outside and shoot from above. Capture the things that excite you about fall and that communicate the mood that resonates with you.2. Use textures and details
Autumn is also the perfect season of the year to capture a variety of different patterns and details that make the season unique. Go for macro photography to capture the fine details with images of fall leaves. There are spiderwebs and dew all around that are illuminated at the right times of the day. Keep an eye out for these fine details as you explore the outdoors. Get low and capture pictures of falling leaves, branches in an arrangement, and dew on the grass. Experiment with angles as you focus on small details. The dampness of autumn also means that fungus and mushrooms are all around. This is your chance to focus on something less obvious for a fall photoshoot idea.3. People and portraits with context
Make the season work as a context for your portraits. You can even start with self-portraits or ask your loved ones if they’d like to join you for a fall photo shoot. Capture people in an outdoor environment or at home enjoying a meal or beverages for more atmospheric shots. If you’re out on a walk, have fun with all the leaves for colorful fall pictures. Use a wide aperture to create a powerful atmosphere when you shoot people outdoors this fall. Try also to go out when it’s a bit moody and overcast outside instead of really sunny days. Ambient light will give you just the right contrast to create powerful portraits.4. Colorful landscapes with a twist
As we get to the most popular niche with autumn photography, remember that colorful fall pictures don’t always have to be boring. Time and time again we see picture-perfect fall moments but step outside this mindset and aim for a more creative approach. What if fall landscapes were black and white for example? Landscape photography can give you a range of autumn backgrounds, which is a really popular stock photography niche. This category of fall pictures can be used in your portfolio as clients are always on the lookout for new landscapes that translate the change of seasons.5. Catch foggy days
Regardless of the time of the day, the fog will help you enhance your images with an autumnal mood. Wake up early, grab your camera, and go. Fog softens the contrast of the scene, which isn’t always a bad thing. Distorted depth of field translates moody days that can’t be mistaken for any other season. Fog helps create a different kind of depth of field. For example, foggy weather in the woods can add mystery to your images and the lack of contrast can make for really interesting black and white shots.More Tips on How to Take Better Images in the Fall
