1. Instagram
In addition to a variety of filters, Instagram allows you to adjust brightness, sharpness, add blur effects, and even create animated images. As a social media platform focused on photo sharing, Instagram has a user base that rivals Facebook. The app also features intelligent editing effects, so you can instantly post your pictures right after shooting.
Additional Tips:
- Tap your device’s screen to focus and enhance the sharpness of your image.
- Old brick walls, raw textures, or simple backgrounds contrasting with your outfit are perfect spots for full-body shots. The background plays a significant role in making the subject of your photo stand out, often contributing to 50% of the shot’s success.
- Taking photos in balanced lighting will bring out detail and create shadow effects. On the other hand, sunlight or artificial lighting can create dynamic highlights and shadows on your subject, making your photo appear even more artistic.
- Front-facing shots can feel flat and dull. Experiment with different angles, such as shooting from below, above, or from the side, to create unique effects. The more creative your angle, the more dramatic the impact.
- Always keep in mind Instagram's 1:1 square ratio. When shooting with the built-in camera on Instagram, position your subjects at key focus points of the grid for the best composition.
