If you know me a little bit, you probably noticed I like to experiment with styling and photography to create inspiring content. Whether it’s working for a client, shooting products for social media or simply taking everyday snaps, there are some tricks which can make our photography more interesting. Today I would like to share with you my current favourite 3 styling tips which work for me, ready?
1/ Add unexpected factor
It can be composition, pop of color, unusual arrangement of photographed objects. It’s all about capturing your subject in an intriguing way for example styled coffee mugs forming a little sculptural tower.
2/ Add strange texture
Texture is one of the common styling tips but if we experiment with unexpected textures, photo can be more fun! Instead of using textured backgrounds or textiles, try new materials for example creased paper.
3/ Add handmade element
Nothing is more eye-catching than handmade object, a little imperfect bowl adds interest to the composition, don’t you think?
Often simple tricks can lead to creative result, making our photos instantly more appealing.
