Tips to capture the perfect fashion blog photos

April 4, 2019

Photography is everything when it comes to blogging – your vibe and personality shines through with your aesthetic. Your photos are an essential selling point when working with top brands, especially when you’re getting paid for the moments you create ÄŸŸ” ¸

Finding your unique style and niche can be challenging and costly when starting a blog, below are some tips to help you capture the perfect fashion photos:

1. Location matters


Location matters if you want to ramp up your blog photography; it is one of the best ways to add diversity and realism to your blog ÄŸŸŒƒ Not to mention, location photographs are great for adding a touch of lifestyle and also help to give an overall professional feel to your fashion blog. However, finding great locations can be a very time-consuming task, let’s not forget the time is taken traveling to and from the location, taking shots while waiting for the passer by’s to hurry past, and the multiple outfit changes too ÄŸŸ‘- Through my years of experience as a fashion photographer in Dubai, I’ve learned to always do my research before heading out to a location; this allows me to move around within a small area and find several spots that allow for great images! Be creative; whether it’s a clean wall or has photogenic local cafes nearby, you can never go wrong with a simple, minimalistic theme. Another vital tip that we will touch upon later is lighting. Without proper lighting, that pretty location will not translate well on camera, and neither will the subjects being photographed, so keep that in mind ÄŸŸ’ ¡

2. It’s all about the light


I always look for soft even lighting while scouting for locations. Beautiful locations are excellent, but good lighting comes first! An even light source tends to flatter the subjects and helps to achieve natural, attractive skin tones and a radiant glow ÄŸŸ‘ ±”♀ï ¸ For an outdoors fashion photo-shoot, I strongly recommend you take photos in the morning or early evening when the sun is less harsh, or simply wait for a cloud to cover the sun as this helps to diffuse the light. Contrary to what many people believe, I recommend stepping into a shadow to avoid any unnecessary squinting and also minimize the effects of an overly contrasted/bright photo. If you are indoors, place the subject you’re photographing near a window, but never in direct light ÄŸŸ™…”♂ï ¸

3. Get familiar with Photo editing software


Usually, we click pictures when there are some specific events like a wedding, maternity shoot, and so on. If you take the case of reputable maternity photographers (like this San Antonio maternity photographer, for example), you can notice how they professionally handle these events and produce high-quality images. Now, if you prefer the same results, one needs to be proficient with editing tools. Some basic options to remember when editing a photograph are contrast, saturation, and brightness. It all depends on what works best for your individual style and appearance, hence play around with the options and create a customized filter and editing style that works best for you ÄŸŸ‘Œ Additionally, if you’re taking photographs with an SLR camera, make sure to capture the pictures in RAW mode so that you can edit your images with the RAW Editor. This has loads of options and allow’s you to apply your adjustments to all your pictures in a single go ÄŸŸ˜ƒ Additionally, you may want to look for a photo management software so that all of your photos are neatly preserved without you having to dig around. This could be done after doing a bit of research on https://serp.co/reviews/best-free-photo-management-software/.

4. Find your best angles


While taking photographs, play around with different angles to find out which ones flatter you the most. It’s rare to get a picture you like on the first try, so take multiple shots from different angles. Some people prefer to be shot from the ground, others from above. It honestly depends on which angle draws out your best side. Of course, the angle and lighting theories change if it is a Ghost Mannequin Photography for an eCommerce platform. Be creative, have fun with it, and you’ll surprise yourself!ÄŸŸ ¤ ©

5. Search for inspiration


It always helps to browse through your favourite websites and magazine or pin away on Pinterest ÄŸŸ § You’ll find the most inspirational editorial shoots or street style pictures. I recommend you make a Pinterest board or have a scrapbook with pictures you have collected that inspire you and try to figure out what you like about them. What makes you think you can’t get pictures like that yourself? I’m not suggesting you blatantly copy what you see, but you don’t have to reinvent the wheel either ÄŸŸ ¤ ­

6. Enjoy yourself!


Don’t think about it too much and don’t be afraid to fail, its all about having fun, enjoying yourself and inspiring others with your creativity. There really is no failing, only learning and improving on what you already know ÄŸŸ ¤-
