HOW TO TAKE SCROLL-STOPPING PICTURES

ictures have the ability to make or break a presentation or social media post . Use a stock image and you may botch the quality . Stock images have a way of communicating low quality and ingenuine emotions ( the actors in stock images make things a little cheesy ).
So how do you ensure the quality of your pictures enhance what you are creating rather than detract from it ? Take your own photos . Don ’ t worry . It ’ s not as hard as it sounds .
Here are 7 sure-fire ways to create pictures that will enhance your work :
LIGHTING MATTERS
You don ’ t see influencers buying ring lights for no reason . Lighting can drastically change the quality of a photo . When you can , try to default to outdoor natural lighting before attempting to add your own lighting . Nothing beats natural lighting when it comes to taking a picture .
AVOID ZOOMING IN
If you can avoid zooming in on your phone , that will enhance the quality of the photo that you take , allowing you to use it in more size dimensions afterwards .
PORTRAIT MODE IS A GREAT DEFAULT WITH GOOD LIGHTING
Every phone has portrait mode , and when you have good lighting , this is a great feature to use to get quality pictures without putting too much thought into it .
Taking your own photos always ensures that the pictures elevate the work , not distract from it . Snapping a picture or using pictures from old shots on your phone is more authentic and meaningful than defaulting to using stock images . When you can , take a second and snap a shot . You never know when it will come in handy in the future . You don ’ t have to be a professional to take photos that elevate . You just have to have a phone ! Start there . +
CUT OUT CLUTTERED BACKGROUNDS
While cluttered backgrounds can add texture to a photo , if there isn ’ t intention to the background , it can take the focus away from what you want people to see .
YOU DON ’ T NEED A PROFESSIONAL CAMERA
Before you go out and get a professional camera , grab your smartphone . Your phone is so advanced that it now actually has a similar quality as a professional camera and you don ’ t have to know anything about cameras to use it . The influencers I know use their phones to shoot their shots . Your phone will be good enough to capture the shots you need .
CHECK THE SETTINGS ON YOUR PHONE

Use HDR mode and set exposure manually depending on the environment . These are easy ways to enhance the quality of your photo . Go to the settings on your phone and check out the default settings . You will often find that they aren ’ t defaulted to the highest quality photo .
GET A TRIPOD SO YOU CAN BE IN PHOTOS
You want to have a steady image or video when recording . If that means you put your camera on a ledge , that works . Don ’ t hesitate to go out and grab a tripod if that will allow you to take photos of yourself . You can find them online , and they aren ’ t going to break the bank .
