15 Awesome Glitter Photoshoot Ideas for 2021 - The Digital Day Dream (2025)

Glitter is the ultimate prop for photo shoots when it comes to creative and childhood throwback photography.

Everyone loves glitter, so why not experiment shooting with it? The great thing with glitter is you can create a wide variety of feelings and meanings to a shot.

You can pull off a euphoric atmosphere, or an image of immense sadness with just a change in angle and expression.

So, here are my 15 glitter photoshoot ideas for you to experiment with this quarantine.

This Is a brilliant example of how you can use glitter to portray emotion.

The additional black and white aspect also adds to the classy and slightly sad atmosphere of the image.

The glitter plays a lovely role in the whole vibe of this shot.

The model looking over the shoulder with the wild and messy hair portrays a mysterious look, and the glitter adds that spark of artistic flare.

To have a successful and enticing shot doesn’t always require portrait shots.

Using hands or other bodily features can have even more of an effect on the viewers.

Pink is the ultimate girly colour (although it doesn’t have to be, boys you can love pink too!).

And for this specific shot, the sad atmosphere surrounded by the childish girly colour mainly under the eyes, makes the image almost nostalgic, in my opinion anyway.

I absolutely adore this kind of photography, because it’s so interesting to look at.

There’s so much going on in the images.

The key to this kind of inventive, gripping image I find is bold colours, random items and a little bit of creative inspiration and usually ending up with something you didn’t even mean to do.

But honestly they are some of my favourites.

The contrast in this example is really cleverly done in my opinion.

The plain model with the splash of blue glitter over the eyes really adds an inventive and clever result with minimal effort.

Blowing glitter can result in a happy and somewhat festive photo.

This is pretty fun to do and can be a good photoshoot to do with kids or if you want to create a party atmosphere in your images.

Using glitter as a replacement for makeup can lead to a very creative and original image.

So it’s great to experiment with it and just see what works best for your taste and preference.

You don’t only need to use traditional glitter either!

Most people have arts and crafts stuff laying around the house, so using things like little stars can also be an awesome way to produce a cool picture.

Expression is everything with portrait photography.

It can make or break the quality of the image.

This is an example of a cool way you can change up and add originality to your portraits!
