By: Amy Serrano-Garcia

We all wanna take a bomb.com picture for instagram or snapchat. Well here are tips and tricks on how to get that perfect picture we all want.

1. OFF GUARD

Get someone to take a photo of you, sometimes they don't turn out so bad! Off guards are the best, especially with a smile on your face. Also choose a nice place to go so your pictures look more aesthetic! 💗

   2) SUN

Natural  lighting is the best! Face the sun, it will give you natural highlight and make your skin glow 🌞. It will also give your pictures more color and it will make your eyes pop. Another way you can take pictures with lightning is by getting a ring light!

3) BACKGROUNDS

The background is very important. You have to make sure its neat so YOU can stand out more instead of the mess. The background can be colorful or plain but NEAT. Some options are the sky, trees, wall, etc. If you don't have a nice background MAKE ONE!  🌉

4) MIRROR PICTURES

The pose for this type of picture is very important!! You have to find the right angle. Try looking away, looking at the mirror, or looking at the camera. Sometimes flash makes it better but sometimes it makes it worse. TRY BOTH WAYS. 📷

5) OBJECTS

This is the fun part. You can use hair pins, hair bands, flowers, flower crowns, glasses, lollipops, and basically anything you have handy to make your pictures look prettier. LET YOUR IMAGINATION RUN WILD!  🌸

6) OUTFITS

Pick out a cute outfit. If it's summer maybe wear a swimsuit, if it's winter maybe some jeans with an oversized sweatshirt. This is a personal choice, it really depends on your wardrobe, or if you want more color in your pictures. 💞
