I’ve touched on quite a few blog photography tips throughout my posts. I feel as though I’ve only scratched the surface, despite giving away different settings and explaining what I do in front of and behind the lens. I want to go further in depth of how I take my self-portraits and the equipment I use.<\/p>\n

If you’ve been following me on Instagram<\/a>, you know that I do self-portraits a LOT. (Pst, side note, I also have THIS<\/a> account where I post NYC street style photos I take, focusing on NYFW.) I travel with my light tripod, a remote control and a couple of lenses. My big Saint Laurent tote comfortable houses all the equipment I need to take photos of myself.<\/p>\n

Although I shoot with others once in a while, I still rely on myself to do all the work in front of the camera and behind it. I’ve talked to so many bloggers (you might be one of them) who tell me they’re frustrated when planning shoots. It’s legitimately hard to plan everything out and get a time that works for everyone. Not only that, the photographer might not be comfortable giving away unedited shots.<\/p>\n

You Should Be Comfortable Doing Self-Portraits<\/span><\/h3>\n

A photographer won’t always be readily available, and if your business relies on fresh content and outfit pics, you need to get comfortable being in front of the camera with no one behind it. It might seem intimidating and a little embarrassing when done in public, but think of it this way: it’s your job.<\/p>\n

Practice at home or in secluded (but safe, naturally) areas when you start off so you can get comfortable. After a while, you’ll find that you’re not paying attention to people. You’ll be focused on getting the perfect shot. You’ll have complete control over every aspect of the photograph!<\/p>\n

The Equipment<\/h4>\n

I picked up a $10 wireless shutter release remote control for my camera on Amazon. I had one for my old Canon, and now I have one for my new Sony model. If you go to Amazon and search for wireless shutter release + your camera model. Here are three top sellers for a Canon camera (that I used before), Nikon, and Sony (that I currently use):<\/p>\n
