How to look Fabulous in Travel Photos – Perfect Click

 Getting a perfect click when on a holiday trip is as important as a holiday in itself. Most of the time we click a hundred pictures and later regret on not getting even a single perfect click to be able to upload on Instagram. We then feel that the whole trip has gone in drain. So the next time you are on a holiday, do follow these tips and get a hundred memories for yourself and a thousand reasons for your friends to get jealous. Here are few tips,

STUDY THE PLACE BEFORE SHOOTING.  

You will hate a photo with Taj mahal with lots of people seen in the photo clicking photos. For this you will have to get a click without crowd. So studying a place before a perfect click is important. Go a day before or atleast early when the gates open. Initially observing a travel spot before you photograph is helpful when you want isolated scenery.  All the best, now you can beat the crowd and get a perfect click with you at any location.

DON’T BE AFRAID TO WEAR PRINTS,PATTERNS, AND ETHNIC CLOTHING. 

When you are packing for a trip, don’t limit yourself in packing basic wear. By all means, if you already own a bright colored pants, go ahead and wear it in Manali! Wearing unique clothing helps photos look different, making them stand out from stereotypical tourist photos. Imagine the amount of people who take a photo in Delhi. Amongst all the tourists who wear regular clothing, posing with a Floral Pants is enough to differentiate your travel photos from others. Plus, dressing in a country’s native clothing also shows how much you appreciate their culture. Just make sure you ask people if the garment is appropriate for you to wear! Unique patterns, prints, and clothing pieces can easily transform you from looking normal to exceptional. 

ACCESSORIES ARE YOUR FRIEND.  

When I was packing my carry-on, I decided to focus on bringing fewer clothes and more accessories! Packing light meant bringing more belts, sunglasses, hair accessories, and jewelry instead of bringing a bulk of my wardrobe! When you pack fewer garments, it easily creates more space in your carry-on for other belongings. When I was in the Pondy, I remembered tying a chiffon shawl around my bag as a purse accessory during the day. When it got chilly at night, I wore it as a cardigan as I was sitting by the beach. It was super effective in “changing” my outfit, switching up my style, and dressing in quick timing! Easily changing an outfit from day to night, accessories are the new way of layering. 

LIGHTING IS EVERYTHING. 

This tip can be applied in any type of photography; however, it is especially important when you travel! Photos are what you will mostly look back on from your trip, so lighting makes a difference in creating the perfect travel photo. One factor to consider is the time of day. Does the place have lights during the night time? Is it a colorful location? When you are nearby trees, buildings, or tall fixtures. Remember to find your light!. Those particular aspects can help you decide on whether or not you want to photograph during the day or night. Your camera setting and image quality also make a difference in lighting, so try experimenting with it before the trip in order for you to understand how to adjust your camera in different lighting and angles. Ultimately, lighting changes how you appear in photos.  

Looking great in travel photos can be challenging, but all in all, it is worth it when you experience an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! When I look back on my travel albums, I really appreciate the effort I took to capture creative photos.

So when you are on a Holiday trip next, go ahead. Be fabulous.
