January 6th, 2020 Posted by Gift Flowers

Picture this: You’re just back from a fantastic date with your girlfriend. The weather was perfect, the food phenomenal and whatever venue you’d been to, the view was stunning. Naturally you had whipped out your camera and took a good few snaps of your beautiful girlfriend… only to later find blurred prints, unflattering angles and wrong lighting, as well as photos that somehow morphed her into a headless being.

Now picture the shock and disappointment.

Why is it so important to take good pictures of your girlfriend?

Taking good photos is definitely not the most important skill you should grapple in life, nor is it even a close second. However, it may come in handy if you’re ever on a date with your girlfriend and would like to capture the special moments you have shared together. It’s also nice to show you have made the effort to learn and take pictures from her best angles, giving her photos she can keep and feel content about.

Be the ultimate Instagram boyfriend with our tips on how to take flattering pictures.

How to take good pictures

• Your posture: Take nice easy breaths and relax. Feeling good and confident about yourself is key to taking a good photo. That way, you will be able to think clearly and have a steady hand, avoiding the all too infamous shaky blurry photos forever etched in our memories.
• Location and background: Optimise your location by finding all the good things you want in the shot. If it’s nature she likes, capture that in the photo. If there’s a nice mural, make sure that’s the background. Avoid any unwanted items like electrical wiring and rubbish that may have been left around.
• Lighting: According to professionals, you should try to take a photo with a flattering lighting. If you’re outdoors, the best time is right after sunrise or just before sunset. If the venue is indoors, a good photo idea is to check how the light hits your girlfriend and if there are any shadows. Soft shadows are great for giving the face dimension.
• Poses: Models and photographers should have a multitude of photo posing ideas up their sleeves, but all poses need to be tried and tested to see if it fits that person. The more natural a pose the better. Invest some time into checking out some models’ poses and give your girlfriend some ideas when trying them out. If she’s comfortable and feels the poses come naturally to her, all is good.
• Angle: Taking the photo from a lower angle gives the illusion of longer legs and a more defined body structure, so don’t be afraid to get down low!
• Props: Look out for special props she can play with or hold. If there are none available, surprise her with flowers and take pictures of her when she receives flowers from you! These cute surprises teamed with her genuine happiness will shine through in photos.
