What I like to do is take videos of myself posing in an outfit I like. I’ll watch it through, and focus on the angles I feel like im eating the most.
comfortable photography takes patience, hype music and good friends to remind you to just have fun. this isn’t specific advice, but just a reminder to have fun while living in the moment xx …. everyone has that one angle they love, and that one photo they try to avoid.

Set a timer, play with angles, move back, move forward, take a bunch, take a video and screen shot good frames, get artistic. Have fun!!
The more you play with it, you’ll find trends of what you think looks good.

when I was younger I was deeply afraid of having my picture taken and in general was very camera shy or ashamed of how I looked in pictures
I can’t really pinpoint why this is but I look back and wish I could tell myself that you’ll want them for the memories. Now I’m lucky to have friends who take plenty of pictures and bring point and shoot cameras everywhere they go

I’d try an intro photography course on Linked In Learning, Coursera, Skillshare, etc. You probably can try a weekor a month free for all of those.
You don’t need to be an expert, but learning fundamentals will help you a lot.
And you’ll get an idea of different compositions that will help you see things in a more photographic way, too.
But mostly take a million photos! Back in my old days I’d have 24 precious frames of film at a time. With digital your frames are unlimited so use them with abandon!
As for general tips, get closer and fill the frame. You probably aren’t taking photos to be scenic postcards so your photos will be more effective if you compose more tightly around your subject.
Second, put that subject off-center in the frame.
Like every photography rule, these are made to be broken, but they’re a good start.
Finally, back when I was shooting 24 frames at a time, I was happy to get 2 I really liked. You will make mistakes and most of your frames won’t be “good,” but that’s part of photography and art and life in general.
Also finally, practice photography the way that makes you happy! Don’t judge yourself against anyone else’s work. ✌️💛

I got my nails done and I realized the star on the index finger makes the nails PI themed. Semi unconscious yet a soft-smile realization while the nail tech was painting the star on.

Bring back being genuine about your suffering on the internet. was that ever really a thing? is tumblr just a social anecdote to a form of media we thought / wished we had?
