A bloggers bestfriend

I guess you could say its easy being a blogger, but you could only say that if you're not one and probably twice the work if you're a full time one.
It might be hard but its worth it, else i guess there would be no point.

These are a few things that have saved my blogging ass.

Blu tack
Who knew it could be so simple. Ever tried taking photos of a cylinder product eg. nail varnish, hairspray, lip gloss or skincare. It is blooming hard to keep it still and stop it from rolling side to side. It took me about 6 months to realise i could use a tiny piece of blue tack to keep them in place, even better you can get 'invisible' Blu tack, i think they're called glu dots? That will keep everything in place ready for your snaps.

Background
I am one of those people that will take 1,000 photos of the same thing in loads of different places until i get the perfect background. I love photos with cute backgrounds even if they're really simple, probably better, i always used to struggle with this factor because my room is definitely not how i want it to be at the moment so i improvise. You can use pieces of patterned card for a cute beauty products photo background, some stylish bed sheets or even pages out of magazines that give it a little edge.
Fashion photos are a little bit easier, i feel, when it comes to choosing a scenery/background, because you could use anything and make it work some how. A empty field can give it a very simplistic look, same with a bedroom wall, but then a old alleyway can give it a slight edgy look or you could have a nice street view in the background of Paris/London or where ever you happen to be.

Lighting
Lighting is key. Whether it is from your bedroom window or a soft box it really doesn't matter. I always tend to take my pictures in the morning as i don't own photography lighting at the moment, just to give it a natural look.

Content
You have to know what you are going to post. Plan it out a bit so you know which posts going up on what day and what posts you might like to do, even though sometimes some ideas come to me randomly and it ends up being a spare of the moment post, but there's nothing wrong with that.
Like what you post, because if you don't enjoy writing it, its probably going to come across to your readers. If you really love something, write amount and everyone will be able to see you enjoyed it, just keep it casual and put your passion in to your writing.
