Hola!! Hello!!

I love Photography and sharing all I know about it. For the past 15 years I've been managing my studio and teaching about photography online and at Universities and Colleges here in Puebla, Mexico where I live. Everyone needs to know how to create an image, whether you have a professional camera or a smartphone. As long as you are interested in creating images to transmit something is what matters. The power of photography is universal and I want to share with you how to become a better photographer or improve the skills you already have.

My passion in Photography is in portraiture, I mainly work doing women's portraits in my studio, doing editorial and boudoir photography. The second love of image creatio... See full profile

1. Easy and colorful smartphone product photography and reels in 10 minutes: Do you want to know how I created decomposition behind me, will just grab your smartphone and let's create some beautiful product photography? 2. Create a colorful composition: photos and video: Let's get started with this composition and the items we are going to need to create it. You are going to use color papers. This time I'm using yellow and purple because these ones go really well with my skin care products. I'm also using white paper to create an accordion. You don't have to be very precise with the measurements, and cut circle. I'm using a cork base to place my products, and also adhesive putty tack to hold my products in place. If you have a mirror available, use it to reflect the light. I'm going to show you how to create a really cool effect for your videos. I'm using an LED light to light my table. But if you don't have something like that available, just place your table by a window or a door. Once that you have your composition in place, we are going to create photos and short videos. You can use them for your social media. I recommend you take advantage of all the properties you have with your smartphone. If you don't have a tripod to place your smartphone, just use something to hold it in place and also take advantage of your voice commands to order your smartphone to take a picture or to start recording. Use whatever you have available at hand to create your images. The important thing is that you will start being more confident with your process of creating product photography. As you see, our videos come up really nice with the reflection we create with the mirror. You can move the mirror around to create different kind of movements in your videos. And also when we are creating photos, the mirror help us to direct their reflection to where we want to have a little more light. As you see, the colors that I have chosen go really well with our composition. These are very bright and colorful combinations. You can choose something similar for your own products. Don't be afraid to move your products if you don't like your composition. This is sometimes a process of trial and error, but it's a good thing that you will start practicing. Now I'm going to use my tripod to create some of the images and reels. As you see, I'm just placing my smartphone upside down because sometimes when you have the camera closer in other direction to your product, it creates a different effect. Everything that I'm creating, I'm doing it straight with my smartphone. I'm using the app to edit my images and to edit the reels. And because we have a very beautiful light, we don't need to do very much to our images. Just edit them as you would usually edit any other image. I also recommend that you have a composition that allows you to move around. If you want to add something to your images or to your reels, you can do so. Play with your products and move around, move the mirror in different directions and different speeds, so you can create other effects to your videos. I guarantee you that you are going to love the final results. So that's it. That's how we create reels and photos using our Smartphone. Please share with us your final images. I would love to see your results. So see you next time.
