Photography Tips 101 {and a review!}

I love taking pictures. 

I LOVE taking pictures.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE taking pictures.

Got the point? ;)

______________________________________

I am by NO way a professional, and I am not as good as most of you. But it was requested, and so I took Saige and a lovely outfit from !

Please remember, that it is the WAY you take photos. NOT the camera (but it does help ;}) I have a $120 camera.


Tip #1
Setting. Make sure you don't have a car in the back of your photo. A rubber ducky.  Have a nice setting that helps the look of the outfit (or doll). 

I also like to make sure that my doll is not always looking at the camera. 



Tip #2
Lighting is ALWAYS hard! But being outdoors helps a TON!



Tip #3
BOKEH! One of my favorite things to try and do. A lot of more expensive cameras have a switch that can "make that happen". But I don't have one. Work hard, play around with the settings and camera, and try it out. It rarely works. But when it does. it = PERFECTION 



Tip #4
Unique angles. :)
Be you.
Be random, weird, goofy, professional, lovely, unique, romantic, YOU!

Photos are you.

I couldn't of done the above photo shoot with just any outfit! 

18Boutique is an amazing shop with lots of reasonable outfit/separates, that are simple, but have great quality.

Simplicity is an art. Patty went above and beyond.

Your items come wrapped in plastic packaging, to ensure a clean outfit. Loved how simple!

The outfit quality is amazing. AMAZING! So well done. Clean cut. Not one thread loose. ;)

Perfect fit. Perfect price. Perfect customer service!
Guess what!?! Do YOU like this dress?
You cna buy yours! She has an extra in her shop.

Thanks Patty. :)

  3. Bokeh has to do with depth of field... can you adjust the depth of field on your camera?

    If you have a "portrait mode" on your camera, this might help in creating Bokeh... because most of the portrait modes have shallower depths of field :)

    You've absolutely got a lot of the right ideas though, your changing angles and different viewpoints are always refreshing to look at... you take an enjoyable photograph, for sure XD
