for the aesthetic girlies

I will always be a fan of an aesthetic moment! Whether it’s a plate of food, tablescape at a restaurant, pretty coffee, buildings or city scapes, etc- these moments will always catch my eye and I love seeing them and sharing them myself.

These types of photos are perfect additions to the ever popular photo dumps that we are all huge fans of. They add interest, and help break up the monotony of outfit photos or selfies! I will go through a few of my favorites here, as well as a few tips to capture the moment.

Photo 1- drink arrangement and an appetizer plate. Honestly, in my opinion, the less perfect the better. I do always jokingly say “phone eats first”, but sometimes the authenticity of an already bitten or messy plate is more appealing than the picture perfect staged food.

Photo 2- a cute shelving arrangement in an aesthetic store! This type of photo can be captured in so many places. Other examples: a grocery store aisle, wine aisle, or cute menu on the wall at a coffee shop.

Photo 3- soho architecture or any other city scape or skyline!

Photo 4- still featuring some of your outfit, but more of a detail shot! Zoom in on your jewelry or shoes!

Tip 1- use these for reel covers and mixed within photo dumps to break things up!

Tip 2- these don’t require a lot of editing, just turn the exposure down a little before snapping the photo!

Tip 3- don’t aim for perfection- aim for relatability!! The plate can be a little messy, or you can even have a hand reaching in grabbing food. Perfect isn’t always attainable or relatable.

Tip 4- play around with the 2x and 3x zoom on your camera!
