Oh my goodness. I truly cannot believe my time here on this blog is coming to a close, as my semester is ending. Though I’m sad to no longer continue this blog, I believe my past blogposts are sufficient to give you a goof start in your Photo and Fashion endeavors. Let’s see a quick review of what I’ve shared, shall we?
In my first major blogpost, I talked about the simple tips that make for a solid shot taken on your phone. My tips were: clean your lens, balance your shot, check your lighting, and play around to discover your personal style. These basic yet important tips go into every phone photo that I take.
Next, I provided a beginners guide to shooting in manual on a DSLR camera. Starting off as a photographer, you want to try your best to not shoot in auto mode. You will see that you enjoy your images much more if the settings are exactly where you want them.
Then, I wrote about the value in discovering you aesthetic. Your personal style is very important when it comes to expressing yourself creatively. I named a few of my favorite user-friendly editing apps; Lightroom and VSCO. I hope you have come to love them as I do!
Next, I gave some tips for styling a shoot. Know your setting, consider adding props, use Pinterest for inspiration, go thrifting, don’t be afraid, ask yourself the important questions, and realize that inspiration can spark anywhere!
Lastly, I provided a starter guide for posing. Whether you’re in front of the camera, or behind it, we all want to feel and look our best. From experimenting with hand placement, to trying new angles, there is something for everyone to feel comfortable!
I hope I provided you with some pieces of wisdom that aided you in your creative journey. If I would have known some of those things, I probably could have saved myself from a little embarrassment. Lol. Photo and Fashion was all that I dreamed it would be; expressing myself, and helping others do the same. Thank you so much for tuning in, and if you ever need me—you can find me on the gram @josephineadair!
