We live in an era where your Instagram aesthetic and prowess is almost as important to who you are as a person as how you dress or do your makeup, and we all want to look good, so here are some recommendations from your local Photo Editor, Paul F. Davis.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Adventure: take a walk and take some time to find a spot that you can call your own. <\/span>Look for a spot that frames your subject so that the eye is naturally attracted to you or your model.<\/b><\/li>\n
  2. Candid: ever see a friend or friends that just looked like they radiated light? Take a picture and save that moment. <\/span>Wait until your friend cracks a smile or looks at the camera to capture a moment that will be much more powerful than a pose. <\/b><\/li>\n
  3. Perspective: a picture taken from below will make that person look powerful and dominant, and a picture from above will make them seem small and submissive. <\/span>It\u2019s as simple as getting dirty and laying on the ground or getting on top of a chair and taking a picture from above. <\/b><\/li>\n
  4. Light: have your model look into the light to make them feel connected to a higher power, and visa versa to convey the opposite feeling. <\/span>This is easiest to do on a very bright day or find a very dark space and let a ray of light come in and hit your model\u2019s face.<\/b>\n
