Photo Editing Apps

So I know this has nothing to do with beauty or fashion but a lot of people want to know about photography for their blog. I’m no expert in this field whatsoever, I’ve just learnt about photography through a lot of practice and looked to other bloggers for inspiration.

One of my favourite blogs is Lipstick With Some Sunshine – it’s such a sleek blog and the photos always look great and after reading that Tamira uses ‘Afterlight‘ and ‘Sqauready‘ for her photos I thought I’d take a look.

The picture above is my very first picture edited using Afterlight and Sqauready – they’re both wonderful apps and you’ll be seeing a lot more on Instagram and Twitter! 🙂

What do photo editing apps do?

They basically edit your photos taken on your phone, you can use different effects and just give it a more polished look and edge than a standard photo.

Afterlight – This is my favourite out of all the photo editing apps. There’s so many effects to choose from and I love how you can edit the brightness, saturation, contrast and all the other technical sounding aspects which you’d normally find on photoshop or iPhoto!

Sqauready – I’ve been searching for an app like this for AGES so thank you Tamira! Have you ever wondered how so many Instagram pages have rectangular shaped/uncropped images? This is what they use!!

Will I be using more phone photos on my blog?

I’ll definitely be using more phone photos on my blog as I quite like how they look but for my reviews I will be sticking with my camera.

I feel like I can take better photos using my camera especially for reviews where I like doing close-ups, getting good swatches, colours and generally showing off the product in as much detail.
