How to shoot the best social media photos?

If you pay attention to titles we mentioned below, you can take good photos too.

  1.        Light (essential for photography)

Whether you shoot with your cell phone or a camera, you can’t get a good result if you don’t set the lighting right. If you’re shooting outside, early in the morning and evening are your best bet. The sun light doesn’t fall directly and creates a natural filter so the photos become more intriguing. A strong lighting with natural light sources in a closed environment will yield the best results.

  1.        Composition

In Instagram and Facebook photos, you need to fictionalize your photo shoot in a good composition because you have a small photograph area. For a feel of motion and life, you need a vision that understand the camera and build a short story.

  1.        Colour

Colours have quite an important place in our life. In a photo shoot you can use contrast of colours to focus an object. When transverse colours are used together, the object with both colors stands out. You need to choose colours for which emotions you wish to make people feel in your Instagram and Facebook photos. For example, the colours of fall are colours of sadness and melancholy. Like tonnes of brown and yellow.

  1.        Background

Whether you wish or not, some place is focused and it stands out. But what’s happening in the background? We shouldn’t miss that. Like a messy room, filthy alley, etc.

  1.        Perspective

Instead of the normal angle of view, photos taken from different angles always attract more attention. Stretch your imagination and you can shoot catchy photos too.

  1.        Symmetry-Asymmetry

It’s an important subject in every part of life in sake of visualisation. Professionals know how to use symmetry and asymmetry, which adds to the attractiveness of a photo. For example; paying attention to perspective and shoot from the angle to emphasize on depth, determine the frame paying attention to ratio and proportion, symmetry and assymetry.

You can shoot photos that take a lot of likes too. Just discover how you can express yourself with photography.
