Today we are going to talk about mobile photography with Elena, who works in marketing on social networks and draws incredible logos and covers. She believes that almost any modern phone can make a good shot, even if you don’t have an “Instagram Husband” or a “girlfriend-photographer“.
1. The right light
It is desirable to photograph ideally before noon and after 16:00, when the sun is in the most favorable position. It is important not to “light up”, because a dark photo can still be “saved”, but “overexposure” can not be corrected.
2. Choose natural poses
Any modern smartphone has a “series of photos” function – use it. Jump, go, spin, let there be 20 shots, where 2-3 will be successful.
3. Details decide everything
Add to your image: jewelry, objects, decor; all sorts of little things that can be found at home. Let the eye have something to cling to.
4. Retouch
In today’s world, Instagram filters are not used anymore. The trends are harmony, minimalism, accents on color, in one style. Try adding filters in the VSCO mobile app, then remove or replace unnecessary colors in Lightroom CC.
5. Practice!
Success like in any business, depends on constant training. Subscribe to bloggers who inspire you with their processing and try to process photos in the same color scheme. This is the best way to find your style and become a pro.
