FAQ

Holi photo ideas: questions

What should I wear in a Holi photo prompt?

White is traditional because it shows every color. Name the garment: a white cotton kurta, a kurta pajama, a salwar kameez with a dupatta, or simply a white t-shirt and jeans. Then describe which colors land on it, such as pink, green and yellow gulal.

How do I keep my face recognizable under all the color?

Ask for color 'lightly dusted on the cheeks' or 'on clothes and hair' rather than a fully painted face, and keep the shot medium or close. Heavy powder hides the features the model uses to match your photo, so a little color goes a long way.

What does Holi celebrate?

Holi is a Hindu spring festival celebrated across India, Nepal and around the world, usually in March. It welcomes spring and marks the victory of good over evil, with colors, music, sweets and visits to family and friends.
