okay guys today I wanted to do something
different I shot a video part of the
good and every photo and it did amazing
I wanted to shoot a video that will talk
a little bit more about my creative
process a lot of the content creation
and my Instagram post I actually do
myself so I wanted to do a little video
talking about how you can make it work
because if you look today everyone is an
influencer all of us one nice photos so
why not just show you all the tools of
the methods and everything that goes
through my head and what I actually do
in the process to achieve good Instagram
content led by yours truly so a lot of
the times I do spend days at the office
I have my office days and I still create
content there there's a lot of selfies
and mail selfies that are made here what
I like to do is to find corners that
have some glimpse of hope for a solid
selfie like so obviously we want to
avoid this we want to avoid this what
we're looking for this thick amount it's
small when I started with Instagram I
used to walk around with like a little
tripod I no longer do that I don't want
to be featured on influencers in the
wild but what I like is this I can
really make work so I set up the mount
on the window and then this one has an
extra piece that can hold an iPhone and
then I basically lighting guys I usually
do the selfies at the office when
because the lighting is oh my food is
coming because the lighting is great for
kind of a closer look
[Music]
influencer in the wild and look at this
look at it look at thank you honestly we
have literally a sliver of like lighting
but that's what I'm saying you can find
it everywhere you can also do this in
the car or in a place where it's kind of
dark but there is a chance for some
sliver of good lighting this mount does
everything for you thanks boo not an
easy task when you live in a country
that is so freakin cold
oh why are you going honey it's not easy
when you live in a country that well I
mean right now it's windy it's great
look how dark it is
so for outfit of the day if I don't
shoot it just like a mirror picture of
my outfit at the office I'll usually
kind of look for an area where an indoor
area that will be very skeptically
pleasing I think a lot of the times the
easiest thing to do is just to find like
a nice store and go check their change
rooms it's really weird but I do it all
the time I honestly spend so much time
doing even like outfit change videos for
you guys so trust me I've been
everywhere except my favorite spot in
the city and it's only because our
office is right here is the same Laurent
store their marble and this whole like
the change room is just so beautiful and
I also should mention that it is more
discreet when you do it in a change so
it is still public but a little less out
there super fail because I decided to be
nice and asked if I can shoot in the
change room and they were like nah so
now I have to figure this out so there's
a lot of beautiful places here a lot of
them are more public but I feel like I
feel like it's normal these days to
shoot
Sano's oh this could work
[Music]
usually in the change room I would put
that sticky thing on the mount and just
like fire away
here it will be a little awkward doesn't
focus here you go James has a little
appearance yes we got it I have James
here with me because I need behind the
scenes to show you guys how it actually
looks the next thing that I do quite
often especially because I shoot my
selfies or pictures on the go it's not
the way it used to be where you know the
feed has to be so super curated for me I
still love to have like a nice aesthetic
but I do also like the aspect of like
real life this is a great example of
like an ugly not very aesthetically
pleasing situation but I'll show you
what I do to make it work equipment
phone honestly the whole thing here is
angle so I don't want to see this what
we do want to do
angles it looks like Manhattan the trick
is to make something in the background
so let's say if I want to city by
because I feel like my outfit works with
the city body I'm making sure that I
avoid this
[Music]
okay next challenge I call it
inspiration everywhere and this one is
really more about how you can find areas
that just will work for a good photo
usually those are alleyways those are
like I feel like a great find always
because it's more kind of secluded you
can just go in there there's usually
like a break or graffiti or something
else they can just work for a picture so
right now we're just going out and
looking for an alleyway to show you how
I how I do it and how I take my own
photo when I am in an alleyway
I wouldn't recommend to do it at night
because you know alleyways nighttime
never work this is what you get when you
don't live in California where are you
taking
I knew it success okay look at this
alleyway you have a white wall it's
pretty if you look very much of like the
aesthetic a lot of people go for you
have a grey wall and that's what you
want to look for you want to look for
like unassuming kind of areas that can
actually translate into something really
nice also because this is why my outfit
is darker you will make it pop also look
at this
that's what I'm talking about people are
walking by and I'm just like this is
what I'm talking about this is out where
you can put your phone on and basically
that's how I take my photos and you
don't have to worry about anyone running
and stealing your phone because you're
literally in an alleyway where they're
gonna go
well so I'm gonna use my bag
first I'm gonna look for a perfect frame
there are two ways to make this happen
number one you do a timer
let's do 10 seconds are you ready are
you ready you want to make sure that you
already have your shot so I made sure
that I'm standing so I know how it's
gonna look like and then press I haven't
solved the whole people walking by thing
yet if you don't want to do this timer
thing for too long
what's another great way to make it work
is do a video and then you just move
really slowly and then screenshot kind
of when it looks good for a photo what's
great about social media is that it does
get people more adventurous so part of
kind of the category that I'm talking
about about inspiration is all around is
that sometimes in a most unassuming area
you'll find like a beautiful little
alleyway or a door that might be private
property and you have to choose really
really fast they won't lock you up I'm
going to show you a perfect example of
an area that I actually found while
going to get coffee and it's completely
looks like the way there looks like it's
all garbage around but then I found this
beautiful exclusive property and I took
one of my favorite outfit of the day
shots there so I'm going to show it to
you so maybe will spark your adventurous
spirit
to keep your eyes open and to get
inspired from what's around you
this is a really wholesome video if you
this is not where you should take your
pictures in no no but look at this
situation this is how content is created
they didn't even need like a tripod I
don't do tripods anymore and then which
leads me to my next point of how to take
your own photos when you're traveling by
yourself which happened to me quite a
bit this year I feel like I went to sort
of France and Paris for a few trips and
I was all alone and I did the same thing
so everything that I showed you guys
with the self-timer with doing a video
and then taking photos from that video
of just placing the camera wherever it
is and trust me I did it in Paris I'm
like a very crowded area and I stepped
away a little bit from the phone and it
was fine you can totally do it and if
you travel like to remote places then I
would for sure bring a small little
tripod I have one at home also another
gadget that is really great is the
remote remote where you press it and
then it takes a picture with your camera
there's actually an app that connects it
I keep always losing them but that's
actually what I've used when I started
social media and taking pictures of
myself so
okay you got all the tools now go out
there and get that compact thank you
guys so much for watching the video to
check out the og of heart of a good and
every photo
