It's finally here! These past few weeks, I often get a message on instagram asking the filter that I used on my photos and how I do it. If you're one of them, just keep on reading...
I also had a poll on my instagram stories yesterday and it seems like you guys are excited to know on how I edit my photos. But before that, I'm gonna give some tips on how you'll achieve a good quality photo.
P.S: I have a Nadine-inspired preset giveaway at the end of this blog.
1. Lighting is life!
If you want to take a good, clean photo you must use natural lightning. Avoid using too much sunlight because this gives a yellow tone which I really really dislike. You can take a photo outside or use an artificial light (take note: white light).
2. Style and Location
It's very important to know your style. This will be your edge from others. For me, I always look for an inspiration on instagram or pinterest and save them afterwards. Moreover, you do not need to go to an expensive restaurant just to have a good food flatlay or picture. You can find a lot of instagrammable places that are less expensive. Money is not necessary, having a creative mind is.
3. Camera
You don't need an expensive camera just to have a good photo. Oppo and Huawei are two of the most raved phones by bloggers because of it's camera quality. Adjust the settings of your camera that perfectly suits the actual image you want to be taken. You can take as much as you want and choose the nicest photo you took.
4. Be Creative
It doesn't really matter if you are in a high-class restaurant and has an expensive camera. Anyone can express themselves through photography using a natural lighting, simple background, and cellphones. Being creative is the key to a successful instagram feed. You can have a lot of inspirations, but you have to make your own version.
Step 1. Download Adobe Lightroom CC (Available to all Android, IOS, and desktop)
Step 2. Upload a photo you want to edit.
Step 3. Click light. Adjust the exposure to 0.73 (depends on the phot0), tone down the contrast and highlights. Make the shadow to +20, lower down the whites, and adjust the blacks to +20.
Step 4. Go to color. Adjust the temperature to +20, tint to +10, and vibrance to +20.
Step 5. Click the mixing color palette on the upright corner. Play with the colors of your photo and decide if what it suits the most. You just have to use the first six colors to adjust. Always remember not to include any strong green and red because these colors may ruin the photo.
Additional tip (Optional):
You can download Planoly app on Playstore or Appstore to make sure that the photo you are going to upload will match the theme of your feed.
