hello friends today I'm gonna show you how I take my own photos at home the
camera that I have is the Sony 6400 I love it it has a flip screen as many of
you may know I'm an influencer so being a content creator it's kind of my
full-time job because of that I'd like to take most of my photos on a actual
camera just because quality is a lot better than iPhone photos and I can do
so much more with the editing but if you're just taking photos for fun or if
you don't have a camera I will go ahead and show you how I take photos on my
iPhone as well my tripod is also super inexpensive it is from Amazon and was
around $30 so I'm getting ready to take some of my photos and I thought I would
show you guys how I connect my phone to my camera I'll go ahead and open up the
imaging edge mobile app and then on my camera I will go ahead and hit the menu
button and then over here where there's that little globe symbol there is a
control with smartphone button you want to go to the connection button hit OK
and then on your actual phone if you already have your camera registered to
your app it'll be right here but if you're connecting to a brand new camera
you'd go to Wi-Fi and look for your camera name under Wi-Fi name and now
it's connected to control the shutter button I would now go to that app tap on
the camera and here we are so this is exactly what it looks like so if I were
to get in front of the camera now I can see on my phone tricep ssin going on
here this is exactly what I look like in front of the camera here I have it set
to continuous burst mode I think the default is the single photo so when you
hit on this button it'll just take one photo so we'll go ahead and try that I
want to set it to continuous burst mode and as you can see now there is a little
slider button so when you slide this button over it's gonna go into burst
mode and it's going to take a ton of photo so go ahead and show you guys
and then I'll slide it back and it'll turn off so right there I probably
already took like 50 photos I will just keep doing bursts over and over and over
again play with different poses it just allows me to get a ton of photos really
really really quickly also I think the key to being super
efficient when you're taking your own photos at home is to really practice
your poses and that way when you have your camera burst you don't panic you
know exactly what different poses look good you can think like a parent put my
hands on my hips I'm going to do a laughing one but if you're just starting
out it might be easier for you to do a little Auto timer and you can also set
that up in the app as well if you want to do a single shoot mode you can set
down here there's a little auto timer option so you can kind of set this to
like two five ten seconds if I just hit the button one time so that gives you a
little bit more time to think about your poses maybe set your phone down but
since I have done this so many different times I just like to do the continuous
version because I can just get a ton of photos really really easily but it takes
up a lot of space and it's a ton of photos to go through but I would way
rather do this be done quickly and efficiently and that's just what I like
to do let me just take you behind the scenes of how I take some of these
photos okay so taking photos like this might seem a little bit overwhelming but
I've done it so many different times that by now it just comes super natural
to me so the more you practice the better you're gonna get at it also after
a long enough period of time my shutter will kind of slow down which it gives me
a little bit more time to switch between my poses I also take all of my photos in
RAW so that way it gives me a little bit more flexibility when I go in to edit my
photos in Lightroom here I'm adjusting the angle of my camera is super
important to learn what angles you like best and what you think is the most
flattering I prefer lower angles as opposed to a
upward angle just because I feel like when the camera is pointed down at you
it just makes you look short and stubby and isn't super flattering versus when
the camera is at a lower angle it makes me
legs super lean makes me look super tall so I just prefer that angle so here I'm
just going through a lot of the poses that I covered in my recent how to pose
video and I'm flipping through my camera to see how the photos turned out after I
edit them in Lightroom these are the final images let me know down below if
you guys want to see a tutorial on how I edit my photos now I'm changing it to a
different outfit especially because I don't like to get ready every day it's a
lot easier for me to take multiple sets of photos different outfits all in one
day and it's just the most efficient also another tip that I have for you is
to play with how you have your head angled by changing your poses very
slightly in every single photo it just makes sure that you have a lot more to
choose from rather than 300 photos later you have the same facial expression on
so just make sure you are making small changes to your face how you're sitting
how your head is tilted and it just helps a lot with how the photos would
turn out
take photos with my iPhone I'm using my same tripod I have a little iPhone clip
that I picked up from Amazon super affordable as well and then I also have
a Bluetooth clicker that I picked up from Amazon this connects to my iPhone
via bluetooth so any phone that adds Bluetooth this clicker will work with it
if you have an Android or whatever this is really great because I can stand up
to ten or fifteen feet away hit the little clicker and it will get the
shutter to go off of my camera
so that is it for today's video I hope you guys enjoyed and found it helpful
don't forget to follow me on instagram and tic-tock I'm super active on there
and that way you can see all the finalized images as well I'm gonna get
back to editing it's probably the tick me is solid like 1 or 2 hours and all
these photos so anyways I hope you guys enjoyed this video and found it helpful
don't forget to give it a big thumbs up it lets me know that you wouldn't see
more of these videos if I gave you guys any inspiration to do your own at-home
