Try getting close to the subject—this amplifies the background blur effect to create a striking photo. 2. Use Slow Motion to capture mouthwatering videos Slow Motion shoots a high number of frames per second and you can adjust which parts of the videos to slow down, so a lot less editing is required. I love shooting videos of pouring drinks or chopping fruit—between the high sound quality and slow motion, I can capture enticing food envy footage for Instagram! 3. Shoot in all kinds of lighting If you’re taking photos outdoors on a sunny day, shoot in the shade so that the photo color is more saturated and less overexposed.
