The blogging culture has extracted the artist within oneself and not just that it also shot up the urge to find aesthetics and abstracts everywhere the camera is rolling. Showcasing your life through a camera all by yourself can be difficult at times. Most established vloggers and bloggers generally manage their content wholly by themselves. This could go a little slow as you have to commit mistakes, and realize that there could be a miss in technicality or in the way content is recorded or captured. We will help you not only to bypass the slow evolution but guide you with tips and tricks to get that aesthetic frame to attract the audience.
Blogging and influencing come hand in hand, you need to be constant with your content and yourself especially if you are a lifestyle blogger. You need to post what are you up to, how is your outfit of the day, what did you buy, do a haul, style different apparel, and post on social media.
To overcome the fear regarding the aptness of your content, read the basic yet most powerful tools and tricks that you can use to clock that best shot in the best frame of your best self.
The best outfit photos are taken in natural light or the golden hour, so you must prepare everything for the shoot before the sun goes up and start the process at that time. Do not stand under a direct source of light in the name of natural light it can maximize the exposure.
In case of doubt rely on the focus mark on the camera and select the point of focus, this will indicate ‘Ae/AF Lock’ this works to adjust the accommodation of the camera.
Click photos while shifting your position little by little and you will know when are you in and out of the focus.
Since you by now, have clicked an amole of photos to create confusion . Firstly, trash the terrible or discrete. Then select a lot of four to five pictures. Again, delete the ones out of the selection to save the storage and working of the camera.
Edit them using a photo editor, do color adjustments, exposure, highlights, and shadows, and save this custom combination so that you can save time by directly applying this to your pictures.
You can also surf Pinterest and follow other influencers so that you could learn from the frame positioning and grid adjustment.
Use neutral colored big walls as background and stand at a distance of at least 5 to 10 feet from the camera
The 3 gadgets you need are:
- Camera: Consider a camera with a remote over any other, most of them generally have this but to avoid further complexities check the manual.
- Bluetooth camera shutter remote: Just search for the remote corresponding to the name and model of the camera
- Tripod with a smartphone mount: There can be no bigger investment in a blogger’s life than a tripod. One might think he/she will continue using his/her device manually but trust us! It is very uncertain. Get a tripod through any of the marketing websites and you can even get a good discount on it.
Steps of taking an outfit photo:-
- Locate your camera wherever you are deciding to get the picture. Make sure there is no clutter behind or around you. There is no object coming between you and the camera, or too much light or darkness that your face gets hidden. All these block roads to a good picture and distract the viewer from looking at the subject. Therefore, plan your composition.
- Work on the angles, observe and correct them: Focus on which part of the dress you want to show and take an aerial shot, zoom in to show the delicate stitching, and many more.
- Do the light reading.
- Take a test shot
- Check focus
- Click.
All of this will take your Instagram feed totally to the next level. Get inspired by the creativity of other bloggers, inculcate skills, and shine.
