    Default How to take BOMB photos

    Share your tips for taking AMAZING selfies and pics here.... I feel like I'm struggling from a serious case of sameface, same-pose and same-angle. lol

    I know lighting is a big one, and I have a Google Pixel which has one of the best phone cameras (front facing too!) on the market. My pictures are significantly better because of this, but I need to improve my technique

    Use the timer- doing arm's length all the time limits your options for improving pics.

    Make sure your background is clear/tidy- no one wants to see a nice pic with trash in the background, or worse yet an open toilet, laundry on the floor, etc.

    Natural lighting is usually best. (With heavy makeup sometimes night lighting works better.)

    Oh super important tip- take SEVERAL snaps of different poses/ outfits/ backgrounds. You can weed through them later and decide which to keep (at your leisure.) & Sometimes a small issue will make you want to re-take a photo or change it a bit.

    IG and social media have drastically changed the expectations of selfies, group photos, vistas, etc. & If you're doing your photos alone you are doing the work of 3 people.

    In photography, the golden hour is the period of daytime shortly after sunrise or before sunset, during which daylight is redder and softer than when the Sun is higher in the sky. The opposite period during twilight is blue hour, just before sunrise or after sunset, when indirect sunlight is evenly diffused.[1]

    Details

    The color temperature of daylight varies with the time of day. It tends to be around 2,000 K shortly after sunrise or before sunset, around 3,500 K during "golden hour", and around 5,500 K during midday. The color temperature can also change significantly with altitude, latitude, and weather conditions).
    When the Sun is low above the horizon, sunlight rays must penetrate the atmosphere for a greater distance, reducing the intensity of the direct light, so that more of the illumination comes from indirect light from the sky (Thomas 1973, 9–13), reducing the lighting ratio. More blue light is scattered, so if the Sun is present, its light appears more reddish. In addition, the Sun's low angle above the horizon produces longer shadows.
    The term hour is used figuratively; the effect has no clearly defined duration and varies according to season and latitude. The character of the lighting is determined by the sun's altitude, and the time for the Sun to move from the horizon to a specified altitude depends on a location's latitude and the time of year (Bermingham 2003, 214). In Los Angeles, California, at an hour after sunrise or an hour before sunset, the sun has an altitude of about 10–12°.[2] For a location closer to the Equator, the same altitude is reached in less than an hour, and for a location farther from the equator, the altitude is reached in more than one hour. For a location sufficiently far from the equator, the Sun may not reach an altitude of 10°, and the golden hour lasts for the entire day in certain seasons.
