How to take that perfect Instagram picture
Many people strive for that perfect picture to post on their social media platforms. It's never easy, but with a few helpful tips, we can increase your chances of nailing it!

We asked Kymann Power , a professional photographer, a social media master, for his advice on taking the perfect picture and he gave us some pointers.
  • Composition - Composition is one of the most important elements to take into consideration when starting out. Try different angles when shooting your subject. Get low to the ground or find a high vantage point. The more angles you try the easier it will be for you to identify that perfect shot.
  • Improvise with your surroundings - As you can see in the photo below I made use of the puddle reflection in this shot. Scout your environment and see what might come in useful. It's good to experiment. Don't worry if it doesn't work out, it's all about figuring out what does and doesn't work.

  • Use different features - With the Samsung Galaxy A9 there are four different cameras so test each one out in different scenarios. As you can see in the photo below I made use of the Live Focus behind a Christmas tree with the main focus on the subject in the back. This created a nice blur on the branch of the tree highlighting the depth between the two objects.

  • Editing - So you've taken your photos and caught the right angle. Now it's time to get editing. Two of my favourite apps to use are Snapseed and VSCO. They offer a variety of different filters and you can also adjust more specific aspects of your photos. I always use the less is more approach but the more you edit the better you will become.
  • Be patient and keep shooting - You will not become a professional photographer overnight. Like any craft, it takes time to develop your skills. The most important tip of all is to keep shooting and editing. Repeat the process over and over. In time you will get stronger and stronger. Using the Samsung Galaxy A9 is a brilliant way to start learning and I would highly recommend it to anyone who has an interest in photography.

So there you have it. A few tips from someone who knows what they are talking about when it comes to photography. Practise makes perfect, but soon enough, you'll be the envy of your mates online with your superior camera skills and sudden influx of new followers.

10 Of Our Fave Photo Editing Apps

  I have a handful of different photo editing apps on my phone. I don’t always  edit my photos , but when I decide I want to add a little pizazz, I have a lot of ways to do that. I’m not ashamed to admit that AT ALL. There is literally nobody alive who doesn’t like to  look good in a photo . Exactly what that means to each person is open to vast amounts of interpretation, but everyone likes to see a photo of themselves and think, “I like this one.” I’m not over here giving myself a different face or body, but sometimes I like to throw a filter on a selfie, remove a zit, mess with the lighting on a photo of my kids, add a caption, or even just find a way to make a simple snapshot look a little nicer. During the strictest part of lockdown last April, I made use of these apps when I had to do milestone photos for my three-month-old at home. They’re not as gorgeous as her pro shots, but they look kind of fine next to her professional pics, and that’s because I used some photo editing apps

How to Create Realistic Shadows for Product Photography in Photoshop

Image
If you’ve ever used Adobe Photoshop’s built-in Layer Styles tool as-is for creating drop shadows, you may have found it lacking in realism. Here’s a better way to add shadows to your product photography. A lot of the time I use Layer Styles for quick and dirty Photoshop jobs that are more about conveying the sense of depth or texture rather than really making it look lifelike when viewed close up. That’s where  Tony Roslund ’s quick tip comes in (with a hat tip to Aaron Nace from Phlearn). As a professional product photographer, he needs those high-quality shadows for his clients that can usually only be achieved by taking some extra steps. Rather than going to the Layer Styles route, Roslund shows us how to use multiple duplicate layers to build more complex and lifelike shadows. By stacking shadows, his examples also have all the benefits of being independent layers to mask or further refine. Have you tried creating realistic shadows in Photoshop before? Do you use the La
