I saw on Facelurk that DOLLY, Cleo and Lust Have It! have joined up to find the most stunning beauty flaylay in Australia (see here for details).
I knew immediately what the term 'flatlay' meant when I saw it, but I hadn't heard it used before - quite possibly because I've had my head in the sand where photography is concerned. (Hey, I'm a writer, forgive me!)
Basically a flatlay is arranging items on a flat surface so they look pretty and interesting. The composition has to be there too.
Since I've never done a beauty flatlay in my life, I thought it was high time to get creative and interesting with my photos. I'm starting at a disadvantage, not only because I have no background in photography and haven't experimented too much with designing photos for this blog, but also because I don't have good equipment or programs to help me.
But let's see what I can do. After all, prizes are involved!
The winner will receive:
- Beauty goodies worth over $2000 from Lust Have It (oooohhh...)
- One year’s subscription to Lust Have It
- A flight and hotel stay in Sydney
- A DOLLY or Cleo subscription
- The opportunity to style a beauty flatlay that will be featured in DOLLY or Cleo
Fifty runners up will receive beauty boxes worth over $100 from Lust Have It.
Better get flatlaying then... Wish me luck!
(PS: The photos I've included here aren't flatlays. They're just, you know, flat things laid out in a row - which tends to be the norm where railway tracks and pianos are involved. But I'm guessing you saw where I was going with all that so I probably didn't need to spell it out. Ahem.)
