Since most of us are still hanging out at home, you might feel like you are struggling to get photos to post on social media. Personally, I have struggled to get photos worth posting over the last few months. In order to keep my social media pages active, I have tried to experiment with photos and ideas lately. I've found that you don't need to go anywhere or need anything fancy in order to take cute photos to post to social media. Last week, I took a photo while I was just working on my schoolwork. So if you are struggling too here are a few tips to creating the perfect Instagram post, while you are staying inside.
1. Scope out ideas around your house or neighborhood
Just because you're not going anywhere or doing anything, doesn't mean you can't take cute photos. There's tons of opportunities to take photos in your backyard. One of my favorite trends right now is taking photos out your car window; This is a super cute way to get creative photos without having to necessarily go anywhere.
2. Look at Pinterest for inspiration
Pinterest has a lot of great photography ideas. Whether you are looking for posing ideas or fun photoshoot ideas, Pinterest is sure to have some suggestions. I usually use Pinterest to gain inspiration before taking photos; This way I have an idea of what I want to do before I start taking my photos.
3. Grab some props
Props are a great way to spice up a photo. Some great props to use in your photos include books, flowers, or food. Not only do props make your photo more unique but it also gives you something to do in your photos. By having something to do, your photos will appear more natural.
4. Get creative
Now is a great time to get creative with photo ideas. So if you ever have had a fun idea for a photo, now is the time to do it. I have seen lots of photos that have used board games, T.V.s, and kiddie pools to take photos.
5. Have fun with it
Taking photos is all about having fun so don't stress yourself out about getting the perfect photo for Instagram! Often times the cutest photos happen when you're just having fun.
