RE: How I Make My Cover Photos + Why They are so Important
SNAPSEED!!! That is the best app ever. If had to delete all my nonessential apps but keep one. It is probably Snapseed. You make some of the best covershots. Good to be able to see behind the scenes on originals. Even if your originals are great on their own. Thanks for the tips. I need me some studio lighting? does it take a lot of room
Yes! Another snapseed fan! Honestly, studio lighting has been a game changer for my videos and photos. They are fairly inexpensive on Amazon, but the ones I have take up a decent amount of space. They make smaller, more portable ones, but those use batteries. I wanted ones that plugged into the wall so I wouldn’t have to spend money on replacing batteries.
If you decide to invest in some lighting, make sure you get two lights. Some sets come with two, and some only come with one, so be sure to check that. You want to have light coming from two directions, or else you will still have shadows on your face. Also, make sure they come with or stand (or buy one). The lighting should be at face level and that’s hard to accomplish without a stand.
I hope that helps! I might make a video JUST on lighting and detail a few more of these things.
