Photography tips **IMPORTANT**

Hey Haterz!
Its me again, blogging for the second time in a life time!  So today I wanna talk to you about photography.  How do I get 40+ likes on my profile pictures on facebook? I'm artsy, I take quality time into shooting them, and I follow my intuition on what to do.  Ideas just come to me!  Now, if your that girl that takes the camera phone awkward angle photos its time you take a look at these three easy tips below!

1. USE NATURAL LIGHTING 

Okay guys this first tip is like a no brainer.  Don't take camerphone selfies in like the middle of night.  Awful lighting, grainy pixels take over in the dark, and uhm hello we can't see your beautiful face!  Okay so if you dont actually have a camera take your selfie in the middle of the day on a weekend (peak lighting time).  Do your hair all nice, put some makeup on, point your cameraphone on a downward angle (this makes your eyes look amazing if you have mascara on your bottom lashes too!).  If you do have a camera, put a trendy outfit on (check out my fashion trends **must read** post for some tips on what type of outfit), and set it on timer to take some sick full body shots.  Get creative!!  Guys love creative girls and girls will feel more compelled to like your picture if its artsy and cool.  The natural light though is like the number one must have to get an awesome photo.

2. DON'T OVER EDIT YOUR PHOTOS

this is CRUCIAL.  Even though picnik has closed, picmonkey still gives you the option to write all over your photos and paste corny stickers all over them.  one word: NO.  Writing all over your photos is a huge no no!  It makes your photos look cheap and childish.  So don't ever do it.  Use classy effects like cross process (fade it to your desired amount), black & white (also fade it to your desired amount), cool textures like weave and sky only if you fade them to make them look real and depth filled, and mascara + eyebright are always good effects to use, but do not go over the top!!!!!  I also love advanced settings like curves, burning, and dodging. I also like the "tired and true" effects, but don't use all on your photo, talk about a total mess!!!  So kiss the "add words here" button goodbye on picmonkey, if you wanna have an amazing photo.

3.  ASK FOR ASSISTANCE


This last tip is pretty easy.  Ask your bf, bff, or even your mom or dad to take your picture.  Wanna insure they take the pic at a good angle?  Set up the camera or phone in the exact place u want it and even use them as a model to get a good angle then switch places.  Ask them to take a couple in that exact same spot, then switch it up at a diffrent angle.  Don't be afraid to pose for the camera while others are taking the shot, just don't go totally skanky on you helpless dad who's holding the camera.  and BTW skanky=trashy, and trashy=wrong.
