How To Take a Better Photo
We asked PicsArt’s Head of Social because, well, she’s seen it all
Spot relies on beautiful imagery to deliver a compelling place-discovery experience so we talked to an industry insider with a keen eye and serious set of photo chops about her advice for all-around better imagery — pre-shoot to post-processing.
These days, everyone is a photographer, wielding a phone camera and compulsively documenting (and sharing) life’s little moments from breakfast to baby pics to the bar last night (an iffy proposition, always). But even as interest in the medium of photography gains traction, few have mastered the actual craft — photo filters aside.
Enter Nanette Wong. She’s the resident photographer, community wrangler, and social-media maven of PicsArt, a sophisticated photography app that’s like a canvas and art gallery all in one. It offers a full creative suite for editing, plus a plugged-in community for collaboration and exploration. If constantly interfacing with a network of diehard photophiles wasn’t enough, in her spare time, Wong is also the food photographer for lifestyle powerhouse Brit + Co.
As you can imagine, she’s seen it all: the good, the bad, the ugly. So we asked her to distill her know-how into 10 easy-to-replicate tips that challenge anyone, however amateur, to venture beyond the basics.
