10 things that will make you look better in front of the camera (as a fashion blogger)
advice 9:00 AM
It's been already 6 years since I started fashion blogging around here, and I can't tell you how terrifying it is looking back at my old pictures and think "what the heck I was thinking with that pose/face/outfit?". Keeping a fashion blog has been an amazing, unexpected way to see some sort of evolution not only in my looks, but also on my way to understand my surroundings, improve my writing and comprehension in English and last but not least, see how I myself have changed among the years that I've been keeping this blog.
In today's post, I wanted to share some useful tips that I've been using as a fashion blogger to look better in my #OOTD pictures, and which I've been working on and putting into practice for several years until today! With these 10 things that will make you look better in front of the camera, I aim to encourage you to participate and get more involved in your photo shoots, give ideas to your photographer if you have one or experiment with different aspects if you're a tripod+remote fashion-blogger as I've been lately. So, let's get started!
#1 Get inspired
Come on guys, we live in the digital era, where access to information is not only easy but also quick! Nowadays there're plenty of sources of inspiration full of imagery, graphics, professional artworks and albums in just a click! Before your next photo shoot for fashion blogging, I recommend you to look for some inspiration, may it be in others' blogs or on Pinterest! Pinterest boards are a great source to look for street style and outfit inspiration, poses, lighting, background, edition tools... All that in a very organized place due to this social network's structure. There are even bloggers who post about their personal tips to get the perfect fashion picture and explode your blog content, as Kotryna Bass.
#2 Use props
It's been only a short time since I first started using props, or atrezzo in my fashion blog pictures, and the fact is that I absolutely love how they look and how different some pictures look while interacting with your surroundings, objects and things near you.
A prop can be almost anything! A bench to sit on or to stand tall on, a couple of funny balloons (haven't tried that yet, but maybe someday...) a balustrade to lean on, a different pose on a terrace to give prominence to the landscape in the photo... There are a lot of things that can spice up your fashion blogging pictures, you just have to interact and pay attention!
