Believe it or not, we spend most of our free time documenting our personal, professional, and leisure lives on social media. The high demand for digital influencers has also created a desire for increasingly professional photos, even among those who don’t use their networks as a form of work, featuring extraordinary places and the best possible resolution quality. Some say that having a phone with a good camera and a blurred background is worth more than expensive professional equipment with costly lenses to capture a weekend getaway.
The “perfect photo” with app filters and the ease of sharing it simultaneously on social media is even more appealing to media enthusiasts.
For those in Miami, the “Wynwood Walls” is a great place for perfect photos. Every year, international artists are selected to create new graffiti paintings. It’s definitely worth a visit.
In New York, the favorite streets of influencers are in Brooklyn, with corners and walls featuring messages that you can engage with and opt for spontaneous photos; in addition to the traditional Fifth Avenue for street style fashionistas who don’t shy away from photos while walking the streets, with a USA flag or a yellow taxi always in the background.
In Chicago, Michigan Avenue is the same as being in the city center. It’s the most famous street with incredible locations for your perfect photo. Shops, impeccable architecture, and the movable bridges on the Chicago River are true stimuli for dozens of clicks.
It’s worth remembering that the most used filter by professional photographers in outdoor photos will always be sunlight, so choose your best angle, always face the light, and keep the camera at the height of the person being photographed, never at face level. The wrong posture of the photographer will diminish your body in the photo and
won’t flatter your silhouette.
If you want to elongate the body, ask the person with the camera to always take the photo at hip height.
Oh! It’s worth remembering that your perfect photo is the one you liked the most, regardless of the number of likes. Your perfect photo is just a record of a unique moment you lived in your life. Choose your best moment!
