Want your photos to look like they've been shot by a professional photographer? Easy-peasy! Here are five hacks that will make your friends think you've gone from amateur to pro real quick!
- Dramatic effect
- Lens blur and color burn
This shot was taken using a cling wrap with a hole in the middle of it. Color each side with a preferred hue using permanent markers and then place it right before your lens. You get a lens blur and color burn at the same time.
- Bokeh background
An easy hack for a product shoot is to search up a bokeh background on your laptop. For this photo, I used a simple bokeh background in HD and displayed it on my laptop while I placed this toy figure right before the screen. With sufficient lighting, the photo turned out well and quite professional.
- Bokeh shapes
- Softbox
Most of the time, people say that pop up flashes are a bad idea because of the direct light it flashes on the subject. Worry no more. With a white plastic bag, you have a makeshift softbox for your "professional" editorial shoots.
