I feel that it's more important now than
ever to have great photography skills Hey it's your girl Ally, welcome back
to my channel. In today's video I'm going to share 12 Photography hacks,
whether you're a beginner or a professional photographer, I'm going to
show you some simple ways you can upgrade your phone pictures and cool props you can use with your DSLR camera. I personally love shooting
photos for my blog FashionbyAlly.Com. I recently updated my website by

to talk all about framing the shot so instead of putting your subject in the
middle of the picture try putting them off to the side or use the one-third
guideline. It helps guide you through an image and it tells a bigger story. So if you're a fan of taking overhead
shots of #food or flatlays you're really gonna love this new feature! So there's
this new cross that comes up on the Camera app, that will tell you if you're
directly aligned overhead of your photos.
Now you can perfect all of those
Foodie shots or flatlays For the 3rd photography hack I'm going to have my photographer friend Aditi show you guys a neat photo trick that you can use with
your iPhone with the panorama feature on your iPhone to create the illusion
that there are multiples of you in one photo. Start by panning right around as your model runs counter clockwise left. So you just have any creative way to ask
your friend to prom you can be like P R. O M with your hands, I make the signs for
them and then give me the whole photo Will you go to Prom with me? Instead of using the regular camera app
on your phone you can shoot RAW images directly from the Lightroom app on
mobile.
You can adjust the curves and lights directly from the app. I like to
use the Facetune App's teeth whitening tool to whiten the background of my pictures
for a clean crisp look Open Facetune and
open a photo. Click on the teeth whitening option down here just click it then go
to work on the background making it whiter Additional things that you might want to
invest in are iPhone accessories or tools.These tools can definitely up
your photography game. I have two things here, a ring light and an
attachable lens.
There are three different types of lenses a wide-angle lens,
fisheye lens, and a macro lens So you can get a variety of shots all from your phone and you don't need to carry around a big bulky camera. All my food bloggers
friends and beauty bloggers friends swear by this ring light. This ring light
is great at evening out of the different shadows in this shot so that the
cupcakes are evenly lit. Shh don't tell anyone I didn't actually make these
cupcakes I bought them from Trader Joe's but hey no one will know! The first prop is the sun catcher, so
this is a rainbow catcher you can attach to your window and it creates a
really cool circular rainbow light.
I don't know about you guys but I love
Christmas all year round so I like to pull out my string lights for my photos
because it adds a cool depth effect to any portrait. The end will be by the
models face and then you take the tail end and bring it by the camera so that
it flares out closer to the camera and you get this cool little string light
bokeh effect. You don't need a lot of money to create the rainbow effect. You can also use iridescent paper you can find at any craft store some of my
favorite props come from the kitchen so this is solid faint paper that's
iridescent you can also use saran wrap or the foil to create a cool bokeh
effect for the next photography hack we're
going to show you a really cool cinematic way to create a panning shot
without any equipment so I know when I.
First started with photography I didn't
have a big budget to spend on fancy tripods which was at the time and we
decided that Mull difficult on the carpet with the books but it might work
better with a blanket on top of the hardwood floor I give this hack of
thumbs down because it didn't really work press I know you guys love my
clothing hack videos so I decided why not throw in a clothing hack in this
video Bofur pillows can be super super
expensive but I really don't want to spend 80 to 90 dollars on a pillow for
instance this faux fur vest can also double as a faux fur pillow fold it a
few times and it instantly looks like a faux fur pillow one of my biggest struggles when it
comes to photography is traveling and trying to take photos at the same time
when you travel abroad it's really hard to trust the stranger with your
expensive equipment like DSLR camera or your phone my favorite website at the
moment is photographer they have a list of trusted photographers that you can
hire on the go it's really quick and super simple one of my pet peeves is
forgetting to charge my vlog camera with your battery pack you can actually
charge more than just your phone you can actually charge any mirrorless camera so
through the USB cord you can charge this whenever you're on the go the side
directly into the camera make sure to turn it on so that the light is on you
can actually shoot with this while it's plugged in too which is really awesome I
know this is a really weird hack but it totally works last but not least I
wanted to talk about my photography workflow so this is what I like to do
after I shoot all my photos and how I. Like to store and save my images a short
story time for you guys I actually had my car broken into last year and it was
so traumatizing because the person stole my harddrive with all of my memories I
felt incredibly sad but I'm really happy that I'm seeing but the worst part of it
all was I lost a lot of precious memories I'm going to share with you my
photography workflow so I can save you guys time and a lot of lost memories as
well straight from the camera I like to take out my memory card and I'll
directly upload it to my computer this is my mini portable hard drive I like to
save my images in a folder with the date the campaign name or the brand name next
I like to save it on an online storage solution so I use Dropbox or you can
also use google photo now that I have everything uploaded to Google photo and
Dropbox I can actually access all of that on my phone so whenever I want to
go I have all my images on my phone ready at a touch of a button and that
way I don't have to worry about ever losing any of my images or videos so
