Tired of the same type of dp in every profile? Learn some new techniques to make your dps more interesting!
1. Play with the shadows!
Take a selfie such that the shadows make a cool pattern over your face. These type of photos also look great in black and white mode. So next time you want to take a black and white, don't forget to try this out!
2. Make use of the Shutter Speed
If you have a camera or a smartphone with the "shutter speed" option, count yourself lucky! This option allows you to capture motion, such as leaves falling, dresses fluttering etc. This makes your pictures feel alive. Turn on the manual mode on your phone or camera and then increase the value of shutter speed and click yourself laughing with friends, tossing your hair in the wind or enjoying the rain! Higher the shutter speed, greater the clarity. Also, don't forget increase the aperture value so that you allow ample amount of light into your photo.
3. Change the Perspective
The difference between a great photo and an ordinary one is: perspective! Try clicking from the lower corners. This will make you look taller and more striking. Clicking from upper corners is great for the vintage effect. Don't forget to pay attention to the lighting.
4. Try a Reflection!
Clicking your reflection in a river or pool is the secret to making a fairytale out of your photo! Make sure to try this in broad daylight to get all the colors right.
5. Edit!!!
Editing is the key to make any photo look professional. Lighting effects help make the photo more dramatic. Snapseed, lightroom and pixlr are some great photo editing apps. Make sure you don't miss out on cool features like double exposure and splash!
So, what are you waiting for? Try them out to look like the diva you are!
