With social media fully controlling how much content we put out with their algorithms and the ferocity in which we consume it these days, is it any wonder that we are all trying our best to keep up with content creation? The tough bit about this is the competition is steep. Some people seem naturally gifted in this area, even though they are still taking their own photos. I'm here to tell you there are a few simple tricks you can use to making your images pop without all the expensive gear.
So let's set the scene... You are all dressed up, looking fab and have your trusty phone in hand ready to create some babin' content.... Thinking you'll try the mirror shot, you know, taking selfies of yourself in your bedroom mirror in bad lighting, because let's face it, who's bedroom mirror is right by floor to ceiling windows? You're not alone. Let me tell you, no one looks good with a phone in front of their face in yellow lighting. Especially not a professional!
Photography is tough to get right. Anyone can take photos these days, and a lot of people quite well. But when you look at good marketing, I mean really good marketing, you can tell the difference. Not only are the lines cleaner, the backdrops better and the depth of field spot on (what is this? I hear you say) but the lighting is better, the angles complimentary and the editing natural, the image pops.
