Hey guys, it's Morgan Yates and as you can tell by the title today
I would be trying to take some cool Instagram photos
From my home that since we are all locked down at least you should be I'm in my third week now of being quarantined
And my Instagram is suffering a little bit. So today and partnership with misguided
I'm gonna be showing you guys four different ideas of ways you can take photos at home
I was kind of winging these all as we went and there are just some fun little
creative ideas thrown in here that you can take and apply to your own little photo setup if you would like to so let me
Know in the comments which one of these is your favorite and if this is the first video you're seeing of mine
I would love if you would subscribe and let's just hop in to
One that was a little bit of a struggle it goes uphill from here. I will say but let's get started
hopping in well
Just I'll just explain my first idea which is why I'm wearing a swimsuit at the moment as you can see back
Here, we have a couple little plants throughout our house, and I thought it would be cute
Because I'm actually I would have been on vacation right now to start out with a little like peachy
Swimsuit type photo where we have like one of these plants kind of as the background and one in the foreground that's gonna be out
Of focus and like kind of maybe in front of my face a little bit and that way it's gonna look a little look cool
We're gonna see this
I'm just wearing this like this isn't ribbed but it's that kind of like ruched material then they're matching bottoms as well
Adrian is my photographer. We're about to get started and hopefully we can pull this off
I'm currently trying to figure out if I want the palm plant
If we have over here to be like the one in the front or at the back because I'm trying to decide where I wanted
To focus because I like the palm one better. This one is just kind of hopefully serving. It's like a an additional green
Prop my two options are 1/2 the palm plant at the front where I'm kind of like peeking through it or something
so that that's in focus or that one goes at the back and then this other green one is at the front and kind of
Like very blurred and that way that's just kind of like a fun little blur detail going on the front
So maybe I'll try to both Batak or fur
So here's our set if you will and we're gonna see if we want to come in this way
I think it's gonna be better the other way then like I could get really close to the other plan. Okay
No, that's what will happen. You stay close to the plan in the back
This plant comes closer. So it's blurrier. That's just to me. It's about doing a development to this being a tree
I don't know which way of rotation and just also spent a long part of the brain that plant is kind of small
So I feel like you are gonna need to go down lower
Okay
Oh
The proximity with which we were doing this to like next to furniture is so close so I'm expecting some coffee table
I think we have some contenders. Also, I should cut that young tag off my top while we're at it
Okay review time. I gotta say I went into this with big expectations for this idea
I thought it was so clever, but I think where we fell short is that the plants just didn't go together. Okay?
we're in nature you find these plants forever side each other so and it was just like okay we were
Challenged due to our props if I had more of those palm plants to like line more of a wall and actually make it look
Like we were outdoors
I think we could have
Done a little a little something else here and I just did not let me my hair and then I'm just being a real critic
Right now I will just start in stop by saying these are my least favorite photos
We took this entire video, but here are a couple options
I guess I feel like these will definitely not be making it to Instagram. You know, they just weren't my fave
I feel like the leaves are just sprouting out in my head a little bit
But I'm still proud of the creative idea
I get myself a few creative points here, but I just don't think this is the movie. All right little haul break again
Thank you so much misguided response during this video
All the outfits are gonna see and all these little photo setups are all from misguided. Yeah, I'm gonna show you a few things
I picked out I picked these out a long time ago, but conveniently a lot of them are loungewear
But they gave me a discount code just for you guys
Which is more than 60 and you get 60% the entire web site, which is amazing
So I'm gonna show you a couple good finds right now
so first up and potentially at my favorite item that I got are these two little crewneck sweatshirts that have like a
Distressed wash feel to them kind of I got them in
Largest so that they would be big and cozy and they just look like this pretty simple
But I thought the colors were super pretty they're both just muted tones if you're launching a home
I just think there are some good oversized cozy sweatshirt options next
I picked up one hoodie you got it's kind of cropped with a little pocket and it's just this really
Thick like super soft good-quality sweatshirt material that some of their joggers are in as well
So I favor two pairs of joggers. I picked out I got three, but I'll explain the difference here
So these two have this drawstring waist as you can see again, this material is kind of hard to explain
It's like a super thick really good-quality. Luxe soft buttery
Jogger material I don't really know and then the bottom of the ankles just looks like this
I also got all of these in the petite lengths because I am 5-2 and they fit better than most joggers in my experience
They're always too long for me
I wish they were just about like this much shorter of so I still may end up rolling these but just got him in this
Little beige color and then I just got a pair in black and I cannot stop wearing these you're so cozy and just feel super
Nice, and then I wish I'd gotten the white pair in the same style. And I remember it was sold out
I was just varying my options, but this pair it's still cozy for like lounging around at home
however
It doesn't have the drawstring waist and in general the fabric is a bit thinner and the inside is kind of textured rather than fleecy
So it's a lighter weight option. You won't get as hot in this but it's just like not the style
I would want to be wearing like out and about if that makes sense
Like I think you can kind of see the white pocket
Lining through the pant so I can give you an idea of kind of the material thickness next up
I just picked out five basics
We have a lot of body suits in the mix here starting with these two high neck like ribbed tops and got it a little
Bit messy when I was taking photos in the other day, but this is the material if you look up close
It's like a little bit ribbed. There's some slight stretch to it
And then it just comes down into a snap a body suit bottom
I will say I got the same size in both
I think I got an 8 and everything but this black one fits way smaller than this one
This one's actually a little bit too big and like the top part and like around the arms
I feel like it was gaping down a little bit. But this one it was gripping me like a sports bra
Okay, like it was tight, but I think it looks so good
so actually out and about I think this one's probably little bit too big for me to wear but if you size down you should
Be okay. So those are just some cute little like nice-ish top options or you could rest them down next
I just got a ribbed you can kind of tell
Black v-neck bodysuit. We just have the snap bottom
It's long sleeves and it's really lightweight, but as you can tell it is not see-through. So I like that next
I got a white long sleeve bodysuit Justin's a crewneck
I was worried about this because it feels like very very soft and thin and I mean
I guess you can kind of see that through a little bit, but when I put it on you couldn't really see my bra
I don't think and then lastly I just got a plain slim fitted white soft crewneck tee
This is the thickness test as you tell it's a little bit thicker than that one then final five items first
I love I love this graphic tee. It's just a little kiss tee
Love my panties next you guys just saw this one, but it looks like there's not much going on here
Believe it or not. There is some coverage all of the stretches and then I this little one-shoulder adjustable fitted little thing
I thought we'd go big and a little neon cut out also
Neither of these are padded and then lastly my battery's about to die, but I just got a little long-sleeve linen II
button up cover up shirt that again you guys also just saw that is everything I picked out each item will be linked below and
again
That code is Morgan 64 60% So let's go ahead and get into my next attempted photo that hopefully goes better than the one that
We just did
All right, it is now time for pic 2 my idea for this second photo, I'm actually copying Adrienne
she just came up with this and that's basically standing by before like mirror in our kitchen and
Basically, she walked up and certainly like so close to it. And then I was taking a photo over her shoulder
So like this part of her body was kind of blurred and then it was in focus on her face in the mirror
And so I am wearing a little neon number. This is actually another swimsuit
I'm gonna pull out a trick from the old
Photo book involving some sticky notes because I want this to be kind of like a little neon
number and so basically on DSLR cameras
You can put sticky notes on like the edge of the lens a little bit and it will create kind of like a little
Vignette in that color. We're gonna see what this looks like. So this is the scene
This is what my camera lens looks like. Currently. I have like the blue one at the top and then pink at the bottom
Alright review time. This is interesting because I had those three sticky notes covering the lens
There's literally only like a small triangle that was visible of actual lens
I was surprised with how little of the color actually came through of the sticky notes onto the image
Despite most of the lens being covered with the sticky notes
Yeah
We switched around the order of the colors a little bit as we were going through because some of them it looked like my skin
Was too red. So we ended up putting the blue one in the bottom and I liked how that looked
but again
I just I don't know why not loving wanton look like in these I would say probably my favorite photo
Is this one on screen just because the colors of the sticky notes came through for whatever reason in that one
Frame so much more than it naming the other pictures and again, I feel like creative points here with the sticky note idea
I feel like not bad. It was a little creative again
I just flesh motive taken more or just like worked on my face a little bit
I'm not good at serious facial expressions and in all of these. I was kind of trying to do that. You'll see
It is not my forte. I love a good smile and laugh photo and that is my preference
So I just feel like I look silly. I don't know if I would post this but a good effort nonetheless
Alright photo 3 this one is inspired. I would say by Mac and McDonald
I don't I don't think I'm gonna execute as well as her because it's also given that we're on quarantine
We are only going to be walking around near here. I put my hair for this one
Just kind of switch things up when I'm wearing for this outfit
I'm wearing this high neck little bodysuit
And then it is tucked into these little joggers that I rolled the bottoms up and then I tie it around this white sweatshirt
Because the joggers are a little bit big. So just to kind of like accentuate waist area
I'm a little white purse prop and then I have some sunglasses and
We're gonna go see how to pose and at least stupid way possible
Alright these I'm actually kind of a fan of thanks to the turn I wanted like some kind of I don't know
It's not cute outside where we live necessarily my full bod idea just wasn't really working
So I started out with this little like full bog crouching pose type thing and it was like, okay
But I was just kind of boring then we switched from the iPhone over on to at the DSLR
And I just kind of post up on this ledge and I feel like we got some cue options and actually if you're following me
Over on Instagram that you already saw that I posted some of these and actually I through and put a black and white filter on
A lot of them and I really like how that looks
I think it adds just like an additional like glam vogue little factor to it because you're not seeing the wood in the background
But yeah, so I'm pretty happy with these these may be my favourites or potentially our fourth and final little photo idea
I ran out on to the fourth photo. This one's gonna be taking place in our closet slash office
You're looking at like the closet half of things because I need a blank wall for this and I'm actually just gonna pull out these
Clothing racks and this is gonna be our blank wall. We don't need too much space
I believe for this one and basically what the idea is I got this from a girl on tik-tok who we're gonna see if this
even works in the first place
she
Took some cool photos
Using one of these little toilet paper things that I just happened to be out of which isn't normally good sign in these times
But basically she turned on her iPhone flashlight and then stuck it through this in a very dark room
so we're gonna have to like close our blinds and like thankfully we have kind of like a blackout shade as well and then somehow
We're gonna set this up and project it onto the wall
It's like a little spotlight and then it's gonna just be kind of like a close-up shot that hopefully may look cool
I don't know. So I'm just wearing the long-sleeve ribbed black bodysuit. I thought this would be a good little simple piece for that
I'm trying to decide if I'm gonna lipstick or not, which I don't normally like, but it could spice it up
We're gonna turn this into a set
And if you're out of tape this on meets shipping tapes and I want the light to be directly in the center
But I want to speak too soon
But I think this is going to go off without a hitch staying on far easier than I expected
Okay, this is on air can you shut both of those blinds? Mm-hmm this is gonna be the true test
Because I also don't know how close I need to hold this light seemingly closer
She is not circular
Where did they find a perfect toilet paper roll? No, sir. Oh, I mean it's it's pretty close
That is landing on it you just pace unit
We've now gone to greater lengths we have set this up Adrienne is with the other DSLR
I wish the whole was big in the back. Oh
This is like the gist of it but I need to adjust them left. Wait, that's like cool
Great so shout out to that girl because these are kind of cool
That's everything about everything until I import it and I hate mom
Okay. Yeah cool time to review so these I am thrilled with I'm honestly shocked that this pulled off as well as it did and
It definitely took a little bit of trial and error
thankfully we had something stick that tripod on to kind of like
Get the light within a short
Proximity and we played around some distances and things like that and despite the fact that it was a wonky
Toilet paper thing and it was not a perfect circle. I'm pretty impressed with how these turned out
I just popped my regular preset on them and then kind of had to raise the brightness a good little amount so that already added
a little bit of green to the photos
But then I went in as well and just kind of bumped up the grain
Additionally since I kinda one of these to have like a little bit of a grungy
Feel so I need to play with the coloring a little bit more
I probably need to go in to face tune and like mattify my skin a little bit because oily skin problems
So if you put a flash on meet in a dark room, we don't be reflecting a little bit
So I haven't gone through and selected my favorites yet even kind of like these little like peace sign ones
I think that's kind of cute. But yeah, that's definitely a way to create some like spiced up photos in your own room
So I would say those are my favorite actually of this video that is that comment below letting me know which photos are your favorite
Or if you have any other ideas or if you'd like to see a part two because I actually have some other photo ideas involving
Like some neon lights and things like that
So go leave me some love on these over on Instagram if you would like to and yeah
Thank you guys so much for watching and I'll see you in the next video
