Blogging || How To Take Good Blog Pictures With Your Phone.

I’ve been meaning to write a post on this for a while now because one question I get asked all the time is – “Do I need to have a camera before I can start my own blog?”

While I’m currently an advocate of starting out strong with blogging (because everything is somewhat easier right now compared to some years back) – you don’t really have to wait till everything is in perfect conditions but this is by no chance an excuse to still not make the most of what you already have.

You can fake it till you make it and I’m here for that! I’ll be sharing some quick tips on how to make the most out of your phone when it comes to taking blog photos (with a focus on outfit pictures)

– Background.

If you follow me on instagram (@cassiedaves) , you might know that I’m a sucker for a good ol’ plain wall. I like how it shifts the focus to just YOU and brings out your outfit more too.
My advice is to take your photos against a simple wall, whether it’s brightly coloured or plain white. You can find these walls around and other options include trailers, brick walls etc
You can also take your pictures in a normal environment, as long as you don’t have too much going on in the background – Don’t let a messy
background take away from your picture.  Use your creative eye and you will eventually come to find good backgrounds in almost everywhere you look.

– Proper Lighting.

This one can never be overstated. This is why some people have mastered the art of the selfie. They simply chase the light – natural light.


– Oh and of course editing!
My top tip here will be to avoid over editing and all those excessive harsh filters. A little brightening, a little highlighting, increase saturation if needed and I’m sure you’ll be good to go.


– Some Extra Tips.
I hear that also cleaning the lens of your phone before taking a picture helps, and of course keeping a stable hand while taking the pictures.

Another thing I do is utilize photographers at events I attend or fellow blogger boos. If you know someone that has a camera/ photographer, you can always try to pitch a collaboration with them and come up with a way that you both can benefit from. Just make sure to shoot in bulk that day! Lol


You might not get that blurry depth of field type of picture with the above tips but at least you’ll get a picture that’s somewhat easy on the eye and shows off your outfit well too.
