Here are the shot lists for March 2025, reflecting customer requests and the latest trends.
[Introduction of AI Digital Textbooks]
In 2025, AI digital textbooks will be initially introduced for elementary school 3rd and 4th grades, middle school 1st grade, and high school 1st grade in subjects like mathematics, English, and information technology. By 2028, it will gradually expand to all grades. These textbooks were created in response to the awareness that "change and innovation are needed in the education sector to adapt to the digital transformation era."
With March marking the introduction of AI digital textbooks, it is expected to receive significant attention and interest. For stock photography, creating images that evoke a technical and modern atmosphere using colors like blue, gray, and white is recommended. You can complement these colors by featuring digital devices such as tablet-style AI textbooks and headphones, with students actively using them.
[Seasonal Ingredients for March]
The seasonal vegetables for March include mulberry mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and asparagus. Fruits like tomatoes, blueberries, and Cheonghyehyang oranges, and seafood including conch, cockles, and small octopuses are also in season.
To capture the natural beauty and detail of these ingredients, focus on using white or wood-toned props and backgrounds. You could create clean and minimalistic images showcasing the ingredients. Consider shooting scenes like prepping or cutting the ingredients, or washing them to highlight their freshness. Additionally, capturing a healthy meal prepared with these ingredients could help you create a polished series of images.
[International Day of Happiness]
March 20th is the International Day of Happiness, established by the United Nations General Assembly. For this occasion, we recommend creating images focusing on mindfulness and self-care, emphasizing psychological well-being and self-love. Journaling (writing down positive quotes, affirmations, or goals) and self-care apps have become popular ways for many to practice mindfulness and self-care.
You can shoot images of someone writing a short message like "Today, I am grateful" in a notebook, or practicing breathing exercises with the help of a smartphone guide. Additionally, you could capture a scene of someone listening to the sound of rain as a form of relaxation.
[White Day]
White Day is for couples to reaffirm their feelings for each other. For content themed around White Day, it's essential to create an emotional and romantic atmosphere. Use white or pastel tones to evoke a soft and warm mood.
Capture moments like exchanging or packaging gifts such as cards, flowers, and desserts, which are key symbols of White Day. For an extra touch, consider incorporating models expressing affection and tenderness during a special and intimate moment.
