Social Media Photography

About Course

High-quality photography grabs attention and elevates your personal brand. Start with natural lighting—shoot during golden hour for soft, flattering tones. Use your smartphone or DSLR with proper settings. Frame shots using the rule of thirds and focus on clean backgrounds. Plan your grid layout with color palettes, themes, or filters for consistency. Candid, lifestyle, and product shots resonate best. Use props and locations that reflect your niche. For portraits, maintain eye-level angles and natural expressions. Editing apps like Lightroom, Snapseed, or VSCO help enhance tone, contrast, and clarity. Avoid over-editing—keep skin tones and colors realistic. Experiment with composition: flat lays, detail shots, and motion blur can add depth. Shoot in batches to stay consistent with posting. Good photography not only increases engagement but also attracts brand collaborations. It sets you apart in a crowded feed and communicates professionalism, creativity, and niche identity at a glance.
