Why?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In most cases, direct sunlight results in overexposure or harsh lighting that cuts detail from your photo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same is true when you shoot in dark rooms or shadowy locations. That&#8217;s because underexposure results in flat, underwhelming images.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most household lamps also add a yellow hue to your lighting, which is difficult to correct in editing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t worry, there is a secret weapon in every house: (I hope)  <strong>windows<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/twprod.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/blushhome29-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"iphone photos- blush bed with window in background\" class=\"wp-image-18696 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Photo by The Ivory Mix.  <\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Windows provide the perfect mix of filtered sunlight and just enough shade to bring definition and soft shadow to your photos. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t have a window readily available?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No worries! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just search for a shaded or covered spot outdoors for the same effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure to put your window to the side of you or your subject for optimal photos on your iPhone!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-purchase-a-photo-lightbox-kit\">Purchase a Photo Lightbox Kit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If windows and natural light just aren\u2019t an option in your home set-up, you can still get great lighting with a softbox or photo lighting kit.

We\u2019ll give you the overview of her wisdom below &#8211; tune in to the webinar for even more!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fill-the-frame-with-your-subject\">Fill the frame with your subject<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to make your product photos stand out on social media (see: <a href=\"https:\/\/tailwindapp.com\/blog\/how-to-create-pinterest-product-images-that-drive-traffic-and-sales\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tips for Pinterest product photos<\/a>), here\u2019s a hint: <strong>experiment with unexpected angles and perspectives<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the key compositions to keep in your back pocket is filling the frame with your subject!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-large is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cA lot of us just tend to point and shoot at a subject without thinking ahead of time how we are capturing, and what we\u2019re capturing in the image itself.\u201d <\/p>\n<cite>Kayla Marie Butler, The Ivory Mix<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>In the webinar, Kayla uses the example of a historic building she took a photo of on her smartphone. Our first instinct is to fill the frame with the entire building, but the details that make it interesting or unusual are often lost this way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/twprod.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Screen-Shot-2020-02-06-at-10.45.14-AM-1024x577.png\" alt=\"iPhone photography tip- fill the frame with your subject - entire building versus capturing the detail of the facade by getting closer\" class=\"wp-image-18699 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/577;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When she got close to the building and filled the entire frame with the facade of the building, the architectural detail and intricacy took center stage. This took the entire look and feel of the image from a basic photo to a work of art!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bottom line: <strong>Don\u2019t be afraid to get close to the subject and frame it, even if you\u2019ve styled an entire set around it. It makes all the difference!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-do-not-use-the-zoom-feature-on-your-iphone\">Do Not: Use the Zoom Feature on Your iPhone<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Seems counterintuitive, right?   If you want to capture detail, why not just zoom in on your iPhone to fill your frame?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s why: Professional camera set-ups often have an expert telephoto lens that physically extends to zooms in and out without reducing image quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your iPhone lens doesn\u2019t have that.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you zoom in, you start losing detail. The image quality will reduce, and you\u2019ll get that unpleasant blurry and pixellated look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of zooming in, just get physically closer. You\u2019ll thank us later!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-use-the-rule-of-thirds\">Use the Rule of Thirds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember that rule we briefly mentioned in tip 1? Here\u2019s how the iPhone photo grid helps with your composition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Rule of Thirds is a handy photography hack that helps structure photos, where the focal point of an image is placed at a point along a 3&#215;3 grid.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can structure a photo any way you like using the grid, as long as your subject is centered along one of the lines or intersections. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/twprod.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Screen-Shot-2020-02-06-at-10.48.42-AM-1024x577.png\" alt=\"Use the Rule of Thirds in iPhone Photos - place focus on an intersection or on a line\" class=\"wp-image-18700 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/577;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For the best effect, try centering your subject on one of the vertical or horizontal lines, or offset your product by placing it at a grid intersection in the upper or lower corners.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>We recommend that you try <strong>multiple shots with different compositions and angles<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You want to provide yourself with options in the editing process for the very best shot you can get!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shoot from above, get down low, and move around. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Get the shot!
