  • We're actually cute AF, so it was always the camera's fault. I'm here to share how to take better, flattering pictures of yourself because it's about time that you felt confident enough to post those fire selfies and pictures on instagram! You'd be surprised how much technique effects your pictures. In this video I share how to take instagram photos and how to properly use the lighting to your advantage. I also share how to edit pictures in adobe lightroom to enhance the photo and I give tips on how save those pictures you thought were done. You don't have to be a professional or an influencer to take pictures of yourself that you actually like every time, so be sure to watch this video carefully and use these tips and tricks when you take pictures!

      @(taylor’s version) making sure the horizon is actually horizontal (???)
      (I'm sorry I suck at explanations)
      try using the grid and the horizon on your picture should be parallel to one of those horizontal grid lines

    @Miss.A-B Год назад +140

    I used to work in Westfields, White City I can confirm she is right that we’re not ugly we just don’t know how to take pictures. I used to see a lot of influencers from London freely walking around there and 8/10 they don’t look like their pictures. Your plus size influencer isn’t that “big”, your favourite bad b influencer doesn’t look that snatched in real life, it’s just edits and filler from time to time and your favourite bbl model tbh looks a little weird in real life, and I say that because the bodily portions do not match their body frame. Try and get influences from real-life experiences and real people, travel, met new people, learn your angles etc and view people on Instagram with a pinch of salt.

    For anyone that has a samsung there is a grid mode and shutter shooting. for grid mode go to the settings and for a shutter shot drag down the shutter button and you can see how much pictures it has taken with a number replacing the button.
