<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Everyone needs professional headshots. Whether you’re on the hunt for a new job, launching a website, or simply applying for an official document, it&#8217;s an inevitable adulthood requirement. As boring as they might seem on the surface, headshots can communicate quite a lot about you, and our latest feature is here to make sure the message is all positive. <a href="https://airbrush.onelink.me/312160191/ENBLQ101172023" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>AirBrush</strong></a> has recently introduced a collection of Headshot presets that create polished photos to save you time and money when capturing the ideal professional portrait. Now we&#8217;re here to share some tips to help you create portraits that reflect your personal brand.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Lighting</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="870" height="670" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/EN-POST04-JAN-23-1a.jpg" alt="Professional headshots - lighting" class="wp-image-145846" srcset="https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/EN-POST04-JAN-23-1a.jpg 870w, https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/EN-POST04-JAN-23-1a-768x591.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This element always comes out at the top as one to pay special attention to. Lighting does the obvious of letting the audience see and recognise the subject of the photo. But it also contributes to mood and your branding. Natural light is preferred, so scope out your windows to see which lets in the most light. Also, note what time of daylight comes through and if it is flattering. Ensure that the light isn&#8217;t direct as this results in harsh-looking photos. Use reflective surfaces, light curtains or “open shade” to reduce harsh lighting.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Props &amp; Background</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="821" height="667" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/EN-POST04-JAN-23-2a.jpg" alt="blonde woman" class="wp-image-145854" srcset="https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/EN-POST04-JAN-23-2a.jpg 821w, https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/EN-POST04-JAN-23-2a-768x624.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 821px) 100vw, 821px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">What the lighting will show, other than your face, of course, is your choice of backdrop. And it matters! For professional headshots, it is typically recommended that you use a flat, monochrome backdrop. This is to ensure nothing distracting is happening behind you. So choose a complementary color to your skin tone or one that accents branding colors and props. Speaking of props, consider the decor behind you if don’t opt for a monochrome backdrop.&nbsp;Your choice of background can add to your brand messaging.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Wardrobe</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="447" height="672" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/EN-POST04-JAN-23-3a.jpg" alt="rose tinted glasses" class="wp-image-145862"/></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We’ve tackled the backdrop, now for the wardrobe. If a simple white shirt or blouse is all you want, make sure the quality jumps off the screen or it fits as well as tailor-made or that there is some pop of color or texture to create visual interest. If your industry allows for a more flamboyant dress code, we think introducing stylistic pieces that will act as a brand voice is a must. Professional headshots needn&#8217;t be boring or visually bland. Use this digital footprint to speak to get noticed by your audience.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>On or Off Center</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="447" height="667" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/EN-POST04-JAN-23-4a.jpg" alt="brunette woman" class="wp-image-145870"/></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There are two takes to this. If the field you operate in is conservative, keep to the center of the frame and fold or unfold your hands for different effects. Also, experiment with looking directly at the camera or off to the side. For less buttoned-up careers, feel free to shake it up and be a little looser. Cock your head, flip your hair, look over your glasses, etc. Just keep in mind that you want your face to be completely visible for viewers to see.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Show your Personality</strong>&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="441" height="650" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/EN-POST04-JAN-23-5a.jpg" alt="headshot of woman with braids" class="wp-image-145878"/></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Although these tips are aimed at professional headshots, there’s no rule against standing out as an individual. Don’t be afraid to show your personality or at the least project some warmth in your headshot. If your natural disposition leans more sober and serious, use your wardrobe and backdrop to illustrate this but do smile or smize so that potential customers aren’t intimated by your “serious” face. If you’re naturally gregarious, show this with a grin or cocked eyebrows or full-on laugh. Just make sure that your features are not contorted beyond recognition.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Headshot Presets</strong></h2>

Tips for Taking Professional Headshots


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We’ve seen how the creator economy has taken off and honestly, we’re here for it. This mini renaissance is inspiring and <a href="https://airbrush.onelink.me/312160191/ENBLQ412262022" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>AirBrush</strong></a> wants to ensure you’re supported in your endeavours to be seen and grow your audience. In that light, let’s explore how <a href="https://blog.airbrush.io/app/how-to-transform-your-wardrobe-with-backgrounds/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Background</strong></a> can help you reduce your marketing budget. Producing promotional content takes up a large portion of your business’s money and time reserves, so finding ways to save on both can be a game changer.</p>

</div></div>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Exotic Locations</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="672" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/EN-POST06-DEC-22-1a-1024x672.jpg" alt="woman sitting in floral blouse" class="wp-image-144183" srcset="https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/EN-POST06-DEC-22-1a-1024x672.jpg 1024w, https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/EN-POST06-DEC-22-1a-768x504.jpg 768w, https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/EN-POST06-DEC-22-1a.jpg 1237w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Are you a swimwear designer based in Seattle? We’re sure you fantasize about seeing your designs worn in the tropical destinations they were designed for. Not to mention what it does for your audience and potential customers to see the swimmies in situ. It makes it so much easier for them to picture themselves on holiday and rocking your designs! Our point is that whether it’s swimwear, ski wear or country chic, you can achieve an “on-location” shoot for a lot less than a plane ticket.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Multiple Sets</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="678" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/EN-POST06-DEC-22-2a-1024x678.jpg" alt="woman in denim outfit" class="wp-image-144191" srcset="https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/EN-POST06-DEC-22-2a-1024x678.jpg 1024w, https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/EN-POST06-DEC-22-2a-768x509.jpg 768w, https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/EN-POST06-DEC-22-2a.jpg 1090w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ok, our last example was a little model heavy but you can skip models altogether and reduce your marketing budget significantly. If you choose to display your product or services without models, you can showcase the goods in multiple situations and aspirational settings that resonate with your audience. Here’s a simple example, if you’re selling furniture, you can show how the pieces work in different domestic or corporate spaces, with no need to book an actual space or transport merchandise.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>A Larger Wardrobe</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="736" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/EN-POST06-DEC-22-3a-1024x736.jpg" alt="reduce your marketing budget - background" class="wp-image-144159" srcset="https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/EN-POST06-DEC-22-3a-1024x736.jpg 1024w, https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/EN-POST06-DEC-22-3a-768x552.jpg 768w, https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/EN-POST06-DEC-22-3a.jpg 1105w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://blog.airbrush.io/app/how-to-transform-your-wardrobe-with-backgrounds/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Background</strong></a> also works to expand the wardrobe of your visual assets. You can keep the model and makeup, even the same photo set but you can change out the wardrobe in a few simple steps. One option is to use your original photo like a paper doll dress-up and overlay a brand-new fit. Alternatively, you can choose to simply change the pattern or add a new design to your original photo. Either way, you’ll be unlocking a new wardrobe level while you reduce your marketing budget.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Set Design</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="661" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/EN-POST06-DEC-22-4a-1024x661.jpg" alt="reduce your marketing budget - background" class="wp-image-144167" srcset="https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/EN-POST06-DEC-22-4a-1024x661.jpg 1024w, https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/EN-POST06-DEC-22-4a-768x496.jpg 768w, https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/EN-POST06-DEC-22-4a.jpg 1132w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With the easy customisation options under the <a href="https://blog.airbrush.io/app/how-to-transform-your-wardrobe-with-backgrounds/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Background</strong></a> tool, you can easily insert the trending or aspirational design pieces that will elevate your brand. Reduce your marketing budget by taking recognizable pieces that fit with your brand. Use the Eraser feature to carve out the pieces you&#8217;d like to use.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Product Bundles</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="728" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/EN-POST06-DEC-22-5a-1024x728.jpg" alt="two women in monochrome dresses" class="wp-image-144175" srcset="https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/EN-POST06-DEC-22-5a-1024x728.jpg 1024w, https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/EN-POST06-DEC-22-5a-768x546.jpg 768w, https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/EN-POST06-DEC-22-5a.jpg 1083w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Lastly, if you want to insert multiple products into a photo or create and rearrange the product bundle on offer, <a href="https://blog.airbrush.io/app/how-to-transform-your-wardrobe-with-backgrounds/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Background</strong></a> makes this simple as well. You can insert another model or one or more products into an original photo that has the composition to accommodate the additions. With several embedded tools, you can create seamless cut-and-paste visuals that work with sales campaigns and stock levels.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If there’s any scepticism about whether the <a href="https://blog.airbrush.io/app/how-to-transform-your-wardrobe-with-backgrounds/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Background</strong></a> can be used to reduce your marketing budget, we invite you to try it out for yourself.

5 Ways the Background Tool can Reduce your Marketing Budget


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The end of the year carries many opportunities, both personal and professional. One such opportunity lies in holiday photography. Whether you’re a budding professional or a business owner donning another role, these tips will have your holiday portraits radiating that winter magic. <a href="https://airbrush.onelink.me/312160191/ENBLQ412022022" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>AirBrush</strong></a> not only has the tools to help you get there, but we’re also sharing a tutorial that transforms a regular December photograph into the holiday portrait of dreams.</p>





<div class="wp-block-group"><div class="wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow"><p>[my-wp-abtesting id=&#8221;151813&#8243;]</p>
</div></div>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>A Meaningful Space</strong>&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="420" height="630" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/EN-POST01-DEC-22-1a.jpg" alt="women standing in doorway" class="wp-image-142287"/></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’s important to prep for your client’s photoshoot and that includes selecting the location for holiday portraits. Because of the theme of the shoot, it’s a good option to select a space that is meaningful to your clients. While it’s important to bring in seasonal elements and items sentimental to your clients, don’t go overboard with decorations. An opulent background can distract from the subject/s which is the opposite of what you’re there to do.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Candid is Key</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="423" height="635" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/EN-POST01-DEC-22-2a.jpg" alt="women in santa hats" class="wp-image-142303"/></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A posed portrait is classic and you should take a few of these to serve as an option for your clients. However, candid photos feel more warm and authentic and will probably be the more popular choice. These moments occur in between or during your direction to your subjects&nbsp; &#8211; as they help each other stand or embrace each other. The random touches or laughter provide a genuine touch to the photos so that they are always held fondly in memory.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Make it Fun and bring Props</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="432" height="635" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/EN-POST01-DEC-22-3a.jpg" alt="woman with sparkler" class="wp-image-142311"/></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Aim to get your subjects engaged with their surroundings. If children are included, use the park to get great interactions between parent/s and child and that extends to the backyard, playing in snowdrifts or the kitchen baking treats together. Aside from using locations as a prop, you can bring along your own. Family-size blankets, knitted knots, reindeer noses and antlers make for fun and casual photoshoots. For more mature or elegant shoots, think delicate baubles, candles, garlands and retro Christmas lights.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Don’t forget the wardrobe</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="425" height="632" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/EN-POST01-DEC-22-4a.jpg" alt="woman holding present" class="wp-image-142295"/></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Of course, most instances of holiday portraits will be winter themed. So unless the photoshoot is somewhere tropical, the shoot wardrobe will be full of knits, layers and/or heavy materials. Ask your clients to consider whether they want matching pyjamas, coordinated Christmas sweaters or colors in general. Lighter fabrics are fine indoors but if subjects are venturing out of doors, remind them (and make suggestions) that more thought is required for each layer they don.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Holiday Portraits Edit</strong></h2>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Enhance</strong></h2>

A Guide to Creating the Perfect Holiday Portraits


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Mirror selfies have been &#8220;in&#8221; since camera phones became a thing and they don&#8217;t seem to be going anywhere, anytime soon. From your bathroom to your car, mirrors are everywhere and they are convenient tools to help you create unique and compelling content&#8230;when used correctly. While this genre of self-portraiture may appear effortless, proper execution requires attention to detail and a basic understanding of photography concepts. So, whether you&#8217;re an influencer trying to keep it real, or you&#8217;re just too shy to pose in public, <a href="https://airbrush.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>AirBrush</strong></a> has compiled a comprehensive guide to help you take your mirror selfies to the next level.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>How to Take Mirror Selfies, The Essentials&#8230;</strong></h2>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Lighting</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="490" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/EN-POST05-SEP-22-1a-1024x490.jpg" alt="Mirror Selfies" class="wp-image-137062" srcset="https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/EN-POST05-SEP-22-1a-1024x490.jpg 1024w, https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/EN-POST05-SEP-22-1a-768x368.jpg 768w, https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/EN-POST05-SEP-22-1a.jpg 1577w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The first thing to consider in photography at any level is the lighting. Even more so for mirror selfies as there will be reflections of light enhancing or overpowering the photo. For an easy set-up, you can use natural light from your windows and the time of day as a natural mood setter. Use the crisp morning light for cool tones or the afternoon golden hour for warm-toned photos. You’ll need to face the window (the light source) and the mirror will need to be placed in front of it. This way the light falls on you for better illumination. If you place the window to your back and the mirror in front of you, you’ll be in shadow. Which is fine if you are going for a mysterious, silhouetted look. Otherwise, you’ll want to be careful of your setup. You can take the lighting into your own hands with <a href="https://blog.airbrush.io/app/quiz-which-filter-best-reflects-your-winter-essence/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Filters</strong></a>. The <a href="https://blog.airbrush.io/app/quiz-which-filter-best-reflects-your-winter-essence/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Filters</strong></a> catalogue can change your lighting color, strength and tone.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Angles</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="482" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/EN-POST05-SEP-22-3a-1024x482.jpg" alt="Mirror Selfie" class="wp-image-137046" srcset="https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/EN-POST05-SEP-22-3a-1024x482.jpg 1024w, https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/EN-POST05-SEP-22-3a-768x361.jpg 768w, https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/EN-POST05-SEP-22-3a.jpg 1386w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Next, let’s get into all the ways you can work angles in mirror selfies. With a large mirror, you can really push the angle from which you take your photos. You can use a remote control or the built-in timer and place the camera at an extreme side angle to capture you or parts of you in the mirror. This can lead to a sense of intimacy as followers feel like they’re just catching a glimpse of you. You can also take the mirror head-on, angling the camera from below or above to play with perspective. Similarly, a mirror that has magnifying qualities can dramatically change your results. Further experiment with angles with the <strong>Mirror </strong>and <strong>Perspective </strong>tools, found under the <strong>Tools/Adjust</strong> menu.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Poses</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="500" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/EN-POST05-SEP-22-5a-2-1024x500.jpg" alt="Mirror Selfies Poses" class="wp-image-138064" srcset="https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/EN-POST05-SEP-22-5a-2-1024x500.jpg 1024w, https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/EN-POST05-SEP-22-5a-2-768x375.jpg 768w, https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/EN-POST05-SEP-22-5a-2.jpg 1621w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Have you ever practiced voguing in the mirror? It&#8217;s a great way to try out new poses and being able to clearly see your reflection makes it even easier to perfect your angles. When it comes to mirror selfies, use as much of your body as you can fit into the frame. Play around with height and angles to see if you need to get down low, stand tall, or create some movement for the best effect. Remember, your pose conveys a mood, so consider if you want a tranquil, graceful image or something more assertive. Don’t underestimate the power a direct stare can have looking at the camera through the mirror. If you notice a few little blemishes while directing that stare, the <a href="https://blog.airbrush.io/app/rem-sleep-level-edits-for-restful-retouching/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Retouch</strong></a> tool comes in clutch.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="762" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/EN-POST05-SEP-22-7a-1024x762.jpg" alt="woman taking full body selfie in the mirror" class="wp-image-137014" srcset="https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/EN-POST05-SEP-22-7a-1024x762.jpg 1024w, https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/EN-POST05-SEP-22-7a-768x571.jpg 768w, https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/EN-POST05-SEP-22-7a.jpg 1113w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Size</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="525" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/EN-POST05-SEP-22-8a-1-1024x525.jpg" alt="small mirror selfies" class="wp-image-138074" srcset="https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/EN-POST05-SEP-22-8a-1-1024x525.jpg 1024w, https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/EN-POST05-SEP-22-8a-1-768x393.jpg 768w, https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/EN-POST05-SEP-22-8a-1.jpg 1497w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Don’t let the size of the mirror, big or small, put you off. It may be easier to work with a large mirror but small mirrors can certainly be more interesting as they can force you to become more creative and thoughtful about the photo. For example, a small hung mirror can become the frame that holds you among a collage of wall accents. Or you can show off your work desk or craft table while capturing a glimpse of you in a small desk or hand mirror. That being said, you may also find that small to medium-sized mirrors have more interesting or decorative frames, which can be a bonus visual element. The <a href="https://blog.airbrush.io/app/how-to-use-details/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Details</strong></a> tools can be swiped over the frame to further enhance it and the photo.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Our last tip for mirror selfies is to set your mirror up where one may not expect to find one. Head to the woods behind your house, the beach (consider getting the water) or your favorite hiking trail. The highly reflective surface immediately draws the eye and that&#8217;s where your image will be held. Combine our previous tips to play with the variables to create a unique mirror selfie. You can lay the mirror flat so that the sky and whatever color it may be at that time, is layered behind you as you capture yourself in the mirror. Alternatively, lean the mirror against the most convenient prop or even hold it yourself for a unique composition. If you can’t leave the house or prefer not to, tap into the <a href="https://blog.airbrush.io/app/how-to-transform-your-wardrobe-with-backgrounds/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Background</strong></a> tool to change your surroundings.&nbsp;</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="781" height="522" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/EN-POST03-JUL-22-2a.jpg" alt="man adjusting weights" class="wp-image-132352" srcset="https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/EN-POST03-JUL-22-2a.jpg 781w, https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/EN-POST03-JUL-22-2a-768x513.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 781px) 100vw, 781px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Suggest and decide with your client on what props are necessary for the shoot. If you’re shooting in a gym, decide which machines will be used. If you’ll be in a park or game court, you&#8217;ll need the tools of the game. Alternatively, you and your client may decide that no props at all are needed. But you do need to figure this out before the day of the shoot.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Decide on Lighting</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="536" height="681" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/EN-POST03-JUL-22-3a.jpg" alt="woman doing yoga" class="wp-image-132360"/></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Of course, you need the appropriate lighting to show off your subject and their bodies but you also need to pay attention to the mood you want to set. What does the client want to say with these images? If these are portfolio shots, well-lit shots are required. If your client needs something edgier, consider multiple colored lights or playing with shadow.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Make those Muscles Pop!</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="587" height="727" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/EN-POST03-JUL-22-4a.jpg" alt="shot of muscular woman's back" class="wp-image-132368"/></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is truly a combination of fitness photography tips one and three. The truth is, that showing fitness levels can be difficult in a static image. This is why you need to make muscles stand out as much as possible. You can suggest your client shave their body, get a tan or oil up to further enhance their gains.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Go for Some Candid Shots</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="695" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/EN-POST03-JUL-22-5a-1024x695.jpg" alt="women doing crunches" class="wp-image-132376" srcset="https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/EN-POST03-JUL-22-5a-1024x695.jpg 1024w, https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/EN-POST03-JUL-22-5a-768x521.jpg 768w, https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/EN-POST03-JUL-22-5a.jpg 1078w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To show different sides of your subjects, take some shots that are or appear to be more candid. This works to show the focus and determination in an athlete, the relatability of a trainer or the satisfaction of the bodybuilder. Show the faceted reality of fitness photography.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Fitness Photography Edit</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As any professional can tell you, hope for the best and prepare for the worst. That also translates into not obsessing over the final raw images. Subjects of fitness photography, know that perfection only exists in the post edit and so should you.

Bring the essence of your astrological sign into your photographs with our tips and tricks. Keep reading to learn more!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Gemini Photoshoot Ideas to Bring to Life</strong></h2>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>1. Air</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="862" height="702" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/EN-POST17-APR-22-1a-1.jpg" alt="Gemini photoshoot - prism" class="wp-image-129353" srcset="https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/EN-POST17-APR-22-1a-1.jpg 862w, https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/EN-POST17-APR-22-1a-1-768x625.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 862px) 100vw, 862px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Like air, Geminis like to move fluidly from one idea to the next and have short attention spans. They embrace change and resist containment. Some would even call them whimsical, always having their heads in the clouds. This, however, means that they’re easy-going creatures, always down for intellectual conversations.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Try minimal posing with abstract expressions to convey a phantasy feeling in your photos. Then, use AirBrush’s Fade tool from the <a href="https://blog.airbrush.io/app/how-to-use-enhance/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Enhance</strong></a><strong> </strong>panel to bring down some of the details of your pictures and create a dreamy effect. You may also use the <a href="https://blog.airbrush.io/app/how-to-create-dreamier-photos-using-the-prism-effect/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Prism</strong></a><strong> </strong>tool to bring out the whimsical element of your photos and direct the viewer’s attention to the subject.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>2</strong>. <strong>Duality</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="878" height="652" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/EN-POST17-APR-22-2a-1.jpg" alt="Gemini photoshoot - blur" class="wp-image-129361" srcset="https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/EN-POST17-APR-22-2a-1.jpg 878w, https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/EN-POST17-APR-22-2a-1-768x570.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 878px) 100vw, 878px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Have you ever been so busy that you hoped you had a clone to replace you in some of your responsibilities? Well, that pretty much describes a Gemini in a nutshell. This air sign is so caught up in various pursuits that they’d simply wished they had a double self. However, they’re often misinterpreted as two-faced, which is hardly the truth. In reality, they rarely have a hidden agenda.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There’s no better way to convey that intrinsic duality of a Gemini’s character other than a mirror. Once you snap the picture, you can use the <a href="https://blog.airbrush.io/app/how-to-use-blur/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Blur</strong></a><strong> </strong>effect to blur the figure in the mirror and convey the everlasting desire to have a double self.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>3</strong>. <strong>Sociability</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="336" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/EN-POST17-APR-22-3a-1-1024x336.jpg" alt="Gemini photoshoot - filter" class="wp-image-129369" srcset="https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/EN-POST17-APR-22-3a-1-1024x336.jpg 1024w, https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/EN-POST17-APR-22-3a-1-768x252.jpg 768w, https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/EN-POST17-APR-22-3a-1.jpg 1767w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Geminis are extremely outgoing. These enthusiastic social beings are the soul of the party and always have something interesting to say. They crave deep conversations about life and are very passionate about transformation and change. Be careful, though, as they might outshine you!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Use the <a href="https://blog.airbrush.io/app/quiz-which-filter-best-reflects-your-winter-essence/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Gemini Filter</strong></a> to bump the pink tone of your photos and portray the warmth of your character. Show your social and dreamy nature with a subtle palette that conveys a message of loyalty and communication.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>4. Adaptability</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="702" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/EN-POST17-APR-22-4a-1-1024x702.jpg" alt="girl in re3d dress" class="wp-image-129377" srcset="https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/EN-POST17-APR-22-4a-1-1024x702.jpg 1024w, https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/EN-POST17-APR-22-4a-1-768x527.jpg 768w, https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/EN-POST17-APR-22-4a-1.jpg 1051w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’re going for a Gemini photoshoot, you should keep in mind that this air sign is also very easy-going and adaptable. Geminis are always open to new suggestions and down to try new things. In fact, your craziest adventures will surely involve a Gemini friend.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Try some fluid poses, and don’t be afraid to go out of the ordinary. Use vibrant colors to showcase your passion for life. In addition, we suggest using AirBrush’s <a href="https://blog.airbrush.io/app/how-to-use-enhance/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Enhance</strong></a><strong> </strong>panel to bring out the contrasts, as well as the <a href="https://blog.airbrush.io/app/4-ways-to-get-creative-with-the-glitter-tool/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Glitter</strong></a><strong> </strong>effect to add some extra spice.</p>

For our photo dump, we selected five photos and applied the <a href="https://blog.airbrush.io/app/quiz-which-filter-best-reflects-your-winter-essence/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Glow-2 Filter</strong></a> for a uniform look that boosts saturation and warmth. We applied the same filter to all of our selected photos. Once your photos have been enhanced, it’s time to turn them into an Instagram reel.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Reel ‘em out!</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now that you have your selection of edited photos, you can start creating your Instagram reel. <a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/airbrush-video-filter-effect/id1057858901" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>AirBrush Video</strong></a> allows you to set the photos to music, select interesting transitions and generally, better capture the interest of your audience. This is, in part, because you can add more variables that show off your personality versus a static photo. Let’s take it step by step:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Once you open the app, select from the gallery which photos you’d like to use. In this case, we chose five.</li>
</ul>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="507" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/EN-POST15-MAY-22-4a-1024x507.jpg" alt="Photo Dump - airbrush video" class="wp-image-129521" srcset="https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/EN-POST15-MAY-22-4a-1024x507.jpg 1024w, https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/EN-POST15-MAY-22-4a-768x380.jpg 768w, https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/EN-POST15-MAY-22-4a.jpg 1651w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>When the selection is completed, you’ll be shown the video timeline, with each photo as its own frame. You can adjust the length of each frame by holding and dragging the divider between photos. We reduced ours to 1.5 seconds each.</li>
</ul>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="679" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/EN-POST15-MAY-22-5a-1024x679.jpg" alt="Photo Dump - transitions" class="wp-image-129529" srcset="https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/EN-POST15-MAY-22-5a-1024x679.jpg 1024w, https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/EN-POST15-MAY-22-5a-768x509.jpg 768w, https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/EN-POST15-MAY-22-5a.jpg 1241w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Next, inject some visual interest with transitions! On the main menu, select the Effects tab and scroll through to select a transition. To apply a transition, just ensure the selection bar is running through the frame you want to apply the transition to. You can adjust the speed of the video by toggling the bar below the transition menu. There is also the option to apply the same transition to all the frames in your photo dump video.</li>
</ul>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Be sure to view the video to see this draft of applied effects.</li>
</ul>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="715" height="718" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/EN-POST15-MAY-22-6a.jpg" alt="saving video" class="wp-image-129537" srcset="https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/EN-POST15-MAY-22-6a.jpg 715w, https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/EN-POST15-MAY-22-6a-350x350.jpg 350w, https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/EN-POST15-MAY-22-6a-120x120.jpg 120w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 715px) 100vw, 715px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Then you only have to confirm the resolution and frame rate of your video before saving the video. Be mindful that higher resolutions and frame rates take up more space on your device.</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Once you’re satisfied with your edit, click the Save to Album button to save the video.&nbsp;</p>

How to Transform Your Photo Dump into an Instagram Reel


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When was the last time you took an audit of your Instagram feed? If you use your Instagram for your personal brand, your business or you just like a curated feed, taking another look at your feed can give you a course correction. Your friends at <a href="https://airbrush.onelink.me/312160191/ENBLQ205132022" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>AirBrush</strong></a><strong> </strong>are delivering the tips you need to create instagrammable photos that can generate more engagement from your followers. Keep scrolling to find out how!</p>





<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Posing</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="431" height="641" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/EN-POST10-APR-22-1a.jpg" alt="man in green shirt" class="wp-image-128349"/></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To get instagrammable photos you can start with playing around with your posing. If you don’t have lots of experience with posing, you may find that all your photos look boring and stilted as you stand with your arms by your side. To make your poses more dynamic, you’ll need to play around with your angles. Try the rule of thumb “if it bends, bend it” &#8211; tilt a shoulder and/or a hip towards the camera; lift your arms away from your body to expose your waist and be sure to push your chin slightly forward to avoid a double chin.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Lighting</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="425" height="642" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/EN-POST10-APR-22-2a.jpg" alt="woman in orange bell sleeves" class="wp-image-128269"/></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A touchstone of photography is to ensure that your lighting is appropriate for your photo. This does not automatically mean the brightest light as you may want to create a certain mood with dim lighting. If you want everything well lit and you’re using natural light (recommended), choose out the exact venue or part of the room you want to take the photo in to grab that light. If bright natural light is not available you may have to invest in artificial light. Or you can use <a href="https://airbrush.onelink.me/312160191/ENBLQ205132022" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>AirBrush’s</strong></a> <a href="https://blog.airbrush.io/app/find-your-light-with-new-relight-tool/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Relight</strong></a> tool to bring light to the face of your subject for a more instagrammble photo.&nbsp;</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Choose your Time of Day</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="425" height="642" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/EN-POST10-APR-22-3a.jpg" alt="man in desert" class="wp-image-128277"/></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Following on from our lighting rules above, if you choose to use natural light, you will need to decide on the kind of sunlight you need. Typically, the golden hours in the A.M. and more so the P.M., are regarded as the most flattering for portraits. However, if you want to go for a more bright and airy look, wait until mid-morning or mid-afternoon for steady white light. You’ll also need to consider how cloud cover affects natural light. Light cloud tends to offer a diffused light which can be complementary; heavy cloud cover will produce a more moody photo</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Props</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="426" height="642" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/EN-POST10-APR-22-4a.jpg" alt="woman in yellow hat" class="wp-image-128285"/></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To get more instagrammable photos, you can introduce props to add visual interest. This can range from something small enough to be handheld to larger decor items that make up the backdrop of your photo. Once again, the props you choose will be determined by the vibe you want the photo to express. Use colorful props in light materials for an airy and fun photo. For more somber photos go for dark colors in your props to convey that sense of seriousness.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Flatlays</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="962" height="636" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/EN-POST10-APR-22-5a.jpg" alt="Instagrammable Photos - flatlay" class="wp-image-128293" srcset="https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/EN-POST10-APR-22-5a.jpg 962w, https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/EN-POST10-APR-22-5a-768x508.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 962px) 100vw, 962px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Not all of your photos need to feature a person or portrait. Consider doing a flatlay to break up your feed. Flatlays are a great way to feature treasured trinkets, hobby equipment or inspiration for your followers to draw from. As we’ve said before, the theme of your instagrammable photo will determine the type of flatlay you set up. You can go for something pink themed and traditionally feminine or brightly colored and fun or maybe a dark academia theme will better suit your overall aesthetic.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Create Interest with Layers</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="958" height="632" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/EN-POST10-APR-22-6a.jpg" alt="Instagrammable Photos - layers" class="wp-image-128301" srcset="https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/EN-POST10-APR-22-6a.jpg 958w, https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/EN-POST10-APR-22-6a-768x507.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 958px) 100vw, 958px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You can inject more visual interest into your pics by layering the photo. To make this an instagrammable photo, you’ll need to decide what goes in the foreground, midground and background of the frame. Of course, the camera’s focus should clearly feature the person or item you want to be highlighted. As a result, the other layers of your photo go out of focus but still pull viewers in as they try to determine what is the item or person just out of focus in your photo.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Opt for an Action Shot</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="427" height="637" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/EN-POST10-APR-22-7a.jpg" alt="Instagrammable Photos - action shot" class="wp-image-128309"/></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You can get things moving and shaking by using action shots on your feed. What this means is allowing the camera to capture you as you move across the frame. Move slowly and with a shutter burst to capture an in focus shot of the subject. If you want something more editorial, look to capture a fast moving subject, where the moving body or body part is blurred. These different styles are useful depending on what you are trying to convey in your instagrammable photos.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Choose an Aesthetic or Theme</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="511" height="642" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/EN-POST10-APR-22-8a.jpg" alt="Instagrammable Photos - theme" class="wp-image-128325"/></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This has been hinted at previously but a big factor in getting more instagrammable photos is deciding upfront what aesthetic or theme you want for a photo or for your timeline in general. Deciding this at the beginning helps guide you on lighting, styling, background, etc decisions so that photos are cohesive. As an example, you may have a light and sporty aesthetic and can decide to feature daytime photos in different locations, with different sporty outfits.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Check your Composition</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="431" height="645" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/EN-POST10-APR-22-9a.jpg" alt="Instagrammable Photos - composition" class="wp-image-128317"/></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Photo composition refers to how a photographer arranges visual elements within the frame. The aim is to achieve a pleasing organization of objects within the photo. Filling a frame may sound easy, yet can be quite challenging. Composition can be difficult because it is the combination of lighting, location, wardrobe, styling, and any other elements. Some easy rules to look into and follow are the rule of thirds and symmetry.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Give it an AirBrush Edit</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Once you’ve captured your raw instagrammable photos, make them memorable with an <a href="https://airbrush.onelink.me/312160191/ENBLQ205132022" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>AirBrush</strong></a><strong> </strong>edit.

10 Tips to Create the Most Instagrammable Photos


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Everyone has gone through that awkward stage of taking unflattering pictures. And whether you’ve moved past it or are still in that phase, <a href="https://airbrush.onelink.me/312160191/ENBLQ205112022" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>AirBrush</strong></a> has posing techniques that you can use right now. If you are still trying to master your posing, we’ve got seven tips that you can pull from to execute a great pose and photo. If you’ve already established your go-to poses, you can probably find one or two new tips to try out below.</p>





<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Angle your Shoulders</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="378" height="570" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/EN-POST08-APR-22-1a.jpg" alt="portrait of young woman" class="wp-image-127983"/></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Keeping your shoulders square on to the camera will make you look wider than you are and create an unflattering boxy shape. Instead, tilt one shoulder toward the lens to create a twist in the body that reduces width. This can also show off clothes better by highlighting the drape and texture of the material.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Pick up Your Arms</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="377" height="568" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/EN-POST08-APR-22-2a.jpg" alt="woman wearing hat" class="wp-image-127975"/></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Another way to reduce the bulky look in a photo is to create space between your body and your arms.&nbsp;By bending your elbow and exposing the waistline you inject a lighter, more graceful look to your pose. It also adds subtle dynamics to the photo as opposed to standing at attention.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Tilt your Hips</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="361" height="568" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/EN-POST08-APR-22-3a.jpg" alt="Posing Techniques - tilt hips" class="wp-image-127991"/></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To carry on creating dynamic poses, you should also tilt your hips on a diagonal toward the camera. As with our first posing technique, the tilt towards the camera creates new lines of the body, allows you to appear slimmer and shows off details of clothes.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Create a Strong Jawline</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="378" height="572" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/EN-POST08-APR-22-4a.jpg" alt="Posing Techniques - jawline" class="wp-image-127999"/></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">What tends to happen with most awkward posers is they pull their heads back and away from the camera while also pulling their chin down and in. Try this posing technique of tilting your chin slightly forward to define your jaw and avoid creating a double chin.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Get Moving</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="378" height="572" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/EN-POST08-APR-22-5a.jpg" alt="Posing Techniques - movement" class="wp-image-128007"/></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you just can’t feel natural standing still in front of the camera, you have the option to move. Try a twirl, a swing or a swish to add more of your personality to the photo and shed some of the awkwardness. This helps take you out of your head because you’re moving instead of staring down a camera lens.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Get on Tip Toe</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="437" height="572" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/EN-POST08-APR-22-6a.jpg" alt="Posing Techniques - tip toe" class="wp-image-128015"/></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you find that your legs always look stumpy, this posing technique is for you. Getting on tiptoe or extending one leg in front of the other will help you appear taller and more graceful. If you like this posing option, you can morph it into a “walking” pose that helps capture movement.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Use a Prop</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="587" height="577" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/EN-POST08-APR-22-7a.jpg" alt="Posing Techniques - props" class="wp-image-128023"/></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The last of our last posing techniques helps minimize the awkwardness of taking pictures. If like most, you can’t decide what to do with your hands, find a prop and play around with it! Props give you something to focus on while taking the photo, while creating visual interest for the viewer.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="633" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/EN-POST08-APR-22-8a-1024x633.jpg" alt="Posing Techniques - filters" class="wp-image-128039" srcset="https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/EN-POST08-APR-22-8a-1024x633.jpg 1024w, https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/EN-POST08-APR-22-8a-768x475.jpg 768w, https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/EN-POST08-APR-22-8a.jpg 1148w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Lastly, when you’ve nailed a pose that you love, finish the photo with an <a href="https://airbrush.onelink.me/312160191/ENBLQ205112022" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>AirBrush</strong></a> edit.

Posing Techniques: How to Look and Feel Less Awkward in Photos


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Angelcore aesthetic has been a subculture for quite some time already and thanks to the advent of TikTok and other social media platforms, we can all now take a glimpse into the trend&#8217;s current iteration. Angelcore is inspired by imagery and depictions of angels and is designed to emulate the same unearthly beauty of the European stereotype of angels. It has evolved however to include non-European angel aesthetics. <a href="https://airbrush.onelink.me/312160191/ENBLQ204122022" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>AirBrush</strong></a> has put together a few tools to help you pull off that angel on earth look, so keep reading for our guide to doing Angelcore right.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Glitter</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="502" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/EN-POST08-APR-22-1a-1024x502.jpg" alt="Angelcore - glitter" class="wp-image-124818" srcset="https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/EN-POST08-APR-22-1a-1024x502.jpg 1024w, https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/EN-POST08-APR-22-1a-768x376.jpg 768w, https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/EN-POST08-APR-22-1a.jpg 1520w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>

A Fantasy Edit inspired by the Angelcore Fashion Trend


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For reasons in or out of your control, you may be rocking a bald or shaved head for the new season. This style can be quite the adjustment but there are ways to make it work for you if you&#8217;re brand new to the style. Not to mention, a bald or shaved head can develop a fierceness and a sense of confidence because you&#8217;re sporting an unconventional &#8220;hairstyle&#8221;. Keep scrolling to get <a href="https://airbrush.onelink.me/312160191/ENBLQ204112022" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>AirBrush&#8217;s</strong></a> tips on making the most of this look.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Fake the Funk</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="662" height="797" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/EN-POST07-APR-22-1a.jpg" alt="Bald or Shaved Head - confidence" class="wp-image-124686" srcset="https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/EN-POST07-APR-22-1a.jpg 662w, https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/EN-POST07-APR-22-1a-638x768.jpg 638w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 662px) 100vw, 662px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We can confirm, at least in this case, that faking it til you make it actually works. We can also confirm that carrying yourself like you know you look good contributes to actually looking good. Imagine if you wore your insecurity on your sleeve? That’s all people would see. Instead, throwing your bald head and shoulders back and making eye contact with onlookers convinces most that you are the fierce baddie able to pull off a bald head.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Wake up and Makeup</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="447" height="671" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/EN-POST07-APR-22-2a.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-124670"></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If it’s femininity you’re worried about, a simple solution is wearing a tad more makeup. And we do mean just a tad. In fact, simply layering mascara or rocking a bold lip can be enough to make you feel more confident in your look. Similarly, you can use makeup to enhance your favourite facial feature(s). Love your cheekbones? Highlight it! Dig your brows? Shape them up! Pile on the eyeshadow and mascara if you want to!&nbsp; Now that you’re light up top, you can definitely afford to go heavier on the face.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Add Ample Accessories</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="710" height="670" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/EN-POST07-APR-22-3a.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-124678"></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the same way, you can use accessories to elevate your look. The bald head does provide for framing the face, so instead, use earrings. Shining studs or colorful door knockers chose a size and style that flatters your face. The same goes for hats, headwraps, scarves and necklaces. The visible adornment all helps signal that you are invested in your look and in yourself, shaved head included. That’s a vibe that attracts attention for the right reasons.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Hair Color Carousel&nbsp;</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="447" height="657" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/EN-POST07-APR-22-4a.jpg" alt="Bald or Shaved Head - hair color" class="wp-image-124702"/></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This may not work for bald heads but for those rocking buzz cuts, a world of color awaits! A great advantage of keeping the hair short is the high turnover rate. Which factors into you being able to experiment with hair color and constantly bleaching your strands to do so. But the over-processed hair is short-lived. In 3-5 weeks you can shave off the old color and try out something new.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Get Started with AirBrush!</strong></h2>

Bald Beauty: Tips for Rocking a Bald or Shaved Head


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’re bored of the same ole selfie and want to get a bit more creative with your self-expression, it may be time to graduate to the self-portrait. Self-portrait photography differs from the selfie primarily in that you, the subject, are not holding the camera. Therefore, you have the option to get both hands in the frame or your entire body if you wanted. <a href="https://airbrush.onelink.me/312160191/ENBLQ103102022" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>AirBrush</strong></a> has the self-portrait starter kit so that you’ve got somewhere to begin. The pointers below can make beginner pics pop and leaves lots of room for experimentation and your own photography style. We&#8217;ve listed some of our more popular <a href="https://blog.airbrush.io/app/quiz-which-filter-best-reflects-your-winter-essence/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Filter</strong>s</a> so that you see how AirBrush can elevate your self-portraits.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong><em>#1</em></strong><strong> Get a Remote</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="487" height="731" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/EN-POST07-MAR-22-1a.jpg" alt="woman in front of ring light" class="wp-image-122154"/></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As we mentioned earlier, self-portrait photography is differentiated by the fact that you’re not holding the camera. A remote is the most effective way to make that shift from a selfie and a self-portrait. While the remote remains discreetly tucked in one hand, it gives you flexibility with your poses and ensures that you can get both hands in the frame. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong><em>#2 Use Props</em></strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="532" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/EN-POST07-MAR-22-2a-1024x532.jpg" alt="Self Portrait Photography - props" class="wp-image-122194" srcset="https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/EN-POST07-MAR-22-2a-1024x532.jpg 1024w, https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/EN-POST07-MAR-22-2a-768x399.jpg 768w, https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/EN-POST07-MAR-22-2a.jpg 1391w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You can create some immediate interest in your self-portraits with props. You can make it a themed shoot or try a random selection to see what works best. And we do mean random &#8211; household items like cushions, towels, pens or fruit from the kitchen counter can become props. The <strong>OM-2</strong> <strong><a href="https://blog.airbrush.io/app/quiz-which-filter-best-reflects-your-winter-essence/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Filter</a></strong> adds depth.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong><em>#3 Direct Eye Contact is Optional</em></strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="764" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/EN-POST07-MAR-22-3a-1024x764.jpg" alt="Self Portrait Photography - filters" class="wp-image-122186" srcset="https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/EN-POST07-MAR-22-3a-1024x764.jpg 1024w, https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/EN-POST07-MAR-22-3a-768x573.jpg 768w, https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/EN-POST07-MAR-22-3a.jpg 1182w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Though you may have to fight the instinct, try to avoid eye contact with the lens. If you avert your focus to other points in the room, you can create some curiosity about what is not shown in the frame. Alternatively, the viewer may want to know what’s going on in your head. Our <strong>Taurus</strong> <strong><a href="https://blog.airbrush.io/app/quiz-which-filter-best-reflects-your-winter-essence/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Filter</a></strong> makes sure to keep things warm-toned.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong><em>#4 Check Yourself Out</em></strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="761" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/EN-POST07-MAR-22-4a-1024x761.jpg" alt="Self Portrait Photography - filters" class="wp-image-122178" srcset="https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/EN-POST07-MAR-22-4a-1024x761.jpg 1024w, https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/EN-POST07-MAR-22-4a-768x571.jpg 768w, https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/EN-POST07-MAR-22-4a.jpg 1200w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Bring in a mirror to play around with angles and reflection. Any size will do. A small one to catch just the face or a full length one to get a body shot. The self-portrait can also be just the reflection. This is a great experimental medium as you’re playing off the mirror you’re using and the mirror/sensor in the camera. The <strong>Iceland</strong> <strong><a href="https://blog.airbrush.io/app/quiz-which-filter-best-reflects-your-winter-essence/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Filter</a></strong> pulls the blues in your portraits and brings a cool tone.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong><em>#5 Get Moving</em></strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="634" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/EN-POST07-MAR-22-5a-1024x634.jpg" alt="Self Portrait Photography - filters" class="wp-image-122170" srcset="https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/EN-POST07-MAR-22-5a-1024x634.jpg 1024w, https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/EN-POST07-MAR-22-5a-768x475.jpg 768w, https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/EN-POST07-MAR-22-5a.jpg 1378w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Another tip that’ll feel unnatural. We’ve all been trained to be still for photos but try playing around with movement. If you’re worried about the all dreaded blur, don’t be. This can create interest in your self-portrait. Captured movement can also evoke strong emotion depending on context. the <strong>NYC</strong> <strong><a href="https://blog.airbrush.io/app/quiz-which-filter-best-reflects-your-winter-essence/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Filter</a></strong> adds a faded, retro look that is very nostalgic.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong><em>#6 DIY Background</em></strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="767" src="https://blog.airbrush.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/EN-POST07-MAR-22-6a-1024x767.jpg" alt="woman wearing sunglasses" class="wp-image-122162" srcset="https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/EN-POST07-MAR-22-6a-1024x767.jpg 1024w, https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/EN-POST07-MAR-22-6a-768x576.jpg 768w, https://blog.airbrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/EN-POST07-MAR-22-6a.jpg 1177w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A self-portrait background can be anything. The sky, a bedsheet with a busy pattern or with no pattern or a neighbourhood mural. Do you like the texture of the brick walls of some boring government building? That works too. If you look around with an open mind, you can easily find inspiration all around you.&nbsp;Try the <strong>FJ-2</strong> <strong><a href="https://blog.airbrush.io/app/quiz-which-filter-best-reflects-your-winter-essence/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Filter</a></strong> for a subtle bump of saturation.</p>
