How to: take minimal pictures

Hi guys! first of all I wanna apologize because the promise I made a few months ago about this post and it took me so long to make it but here it is: FINALLY.

As you can clearly see on my feed, at the beginning of this year I completely changed my theme/aesthetic into more minimal and have been doing it since then. I think that's one of the things that makes more recognizable who's the picture of when you're scrolling through your feed ( if you still see my pictures with this new shitty Instagram update)

Here are some of the things that are SUPER important when you're taking pictures.

-LIGHTNING

even if you want your photos a little bit dark like mines make sure to take your pictures with good lightning, that'd make a photo look 100% better and HQ.

SETUP

I'm not that much into big setups where every single thing has to be arranged strategically ( let's face it that's not even healthy for my anxiety) but one of the main things I do when I'm home snapping shots is to exploit  my surroundings: windows if it's raining, black or bluísh fabrics or if I'm feeling fancy and inspired I even dress up just to take the perfect shot wearing suits or stylish clothes with neutral tones.

But what happens when you feel like going out? carry a book with you. You'll never know what beautiful spots are you're going to find. Like this cabin I found at the beach last week that I immediately fell in love with and for my luck, it was white. Always look for things that match your aesthetic if you'd like to keep a consistent feed,

CREATIVITY  AND ORIGINALITY 

Okay I don't wanna sound like a douch but I DO enjoy original shots with a unique style. I'm so bored seeing a plain feed with photos that I easily can find in another feed. Maybe that's the reason why I've been unfollowing a lot of accounts lately and just  following the ones that inspires me the most with 1) constant content and 2) originality and who are true to themselves.

And last but not less important what's everyone is here for: EDITING

I use a lot A6 but for the dark pictures I always use HB2 (with +8 or 9) and do the same with the Instagram tool as I showed before.

that's basically all that I do to take pictures and edit them also I have a few tips for you guys to keep in mind.

Showing yourself in the picture (even if you don't wanna show you face you can always show your outfit) always looks great same as showing hands. Skin brings that aesthetically pleasure effect that I adore.

Please, please, PLEASE! try to avoid white sheets. Photos would look amazing if you post one of two but keeping it constantly would turn bored and frustrating.

Oh, and don't forget: HAVE FUN!!!!!

SELF-LOVE

I do consider myself an Internet person and as that, I post a lot about my life on the web, and if you've been following me for a long time or you're new follower you've maybe realized that I'm really open about some things that have happened me and I gladly do it to help others and remind them that we are not alone.

After that being said, I wanna talk about self-love. Dealing with anxiety and loneliness most of my time as a teenager was hard but all of that was the best life teacher you could ask for.

My anxiety began when I was eleven and doctors came to the conclusion that was generated by my tendency of worrying about others but me. I do feel like an altruist individual and always looking for others good is something that even nowadays can't stop doing.

But so far this year I realized that I give so much to people and I don't give anything to myself. That's why I'm talking about this. I hate selfish persons but thought all this time made me realize that even when you don't believe it a little bit of selfishness can help you boost your self-esteem and makes you feel better with who you are. Love yourself before loving anyone else.

For months, I forgot who I was. I worried for people who doesn't appreciate it at all and used me like their servant because of my kindness. So I said fuck it, my life is mine to remember, if you think I'm selfish, arrogant, or rude I don't give a fuck. I'm learning to love myself. To keep inspired and motivated. I'll do the things that I love from now on.

Always remember to take care of yourself no matter how altruist you are. You are first.
