Instagram Reel Scarf Tying Portraiture Session at Leith Community Centre

Is it my turn to host the Last Thursday of the Month at Leith Community Centre?

I'd like to do a portraiture session. We will be our own models, and to make it a little fun and silly, I will ask you to put on and tie a scarf or shawl in the manner of the Instagram reels that I often see in my feed. Just to get something a bit different, so our portraits don't look like a corporate headshot or a school yearbook photo.

I'll bring some scarves and shawls. Feel free to bring one of your own, we can swap and try different looks.

We can try some off camera flash, so bring your flash/speedlights if you have them. Don't worry if you don't have a flash unit, last time we did this, we ended up with some lovely portraits using just the indirect sunlight from the window at the end of our meeting room.

Here are some Youtube links to inspire you:

Afterwards we can head to the Mother Superior for drinks and polenta cubes and boiled new potatoes as chips substitutes. Don't laugh, they were very tasty. The Mother Superior changed their menu recently and don't serve chips anymore. We will gladly order the next best thing.
