WHAT TO SHOOT Shoot images of featuring Halloween:
•the content can be anything "Halloween" themed
•mix it up and have some fun...

•this might be a good time to try using "bottom light" (such as a flashlight shining from underneath the subject) to create a creepy look....
TIPS & TRICKS
•as always, please BE CAREFUL!
•think of your safety and that of any subject you use for your photo shoot!
•Do not put yourselves at risk! -especially costumes around any type of open flame, etc...!
•if you are shooting in dim light, use an tripod if you have one.
•if you are using a smartphone, and don't have a smartphone tripod, try propping your phone against a steady object, then use the Smartphone "self timer" to shoot the photo (this will reduce the camera shake created by pressing the shutter button).
•if photographing in dim light, try shooting with and without your flash. Usually no flash will allow your scary natural light to have the full effect...
