Taking the perfect photo can be difficult, and sometimes, do you ever wonder how people get the perfect shot? In this post, I'm going to explain how I get my perfect shots and how

(hopefully) It can help you get yours, too.


First, I use a camera that shoots in high quality (RAW) photos, such as the Canon Powershot SX520 HS (for more professional) and the Canon Powershot SD1100 IS

(for more aesthetic photos) If you can't afford these expensive cameras or don't want to buy them, a digital camera from a store like Amazon or your iPhone will do perfectly!








Secondly, I edit all of my photos using Adobe Lightroom. This software is not free (it requires a subscription), but there are plenty of free software that do the same job! Now, you're probably wondering what settings I use when I edit, and to be honest, I typically use the color grading feature, which can easily turn the color of your photos to match the aesthetic of your choice.

For this photo in particular, I lowered the vibrance of the photo and used green midtones to even out the gray and the remaining blue background (the photo looks more yellow/green than it is in this post) and adjusted the lighting and colors until I got what I wanted. I also added a small (but noticeable) vignette to the edges to add a small shadow.

I hope this blog post finds you well and I do plan on making more editing tutiorials/tips and tricks in the future! Happy editing!
