Photography Hacks You Need To Know



Photography is one of the most widely-used devices since its introduction over 200 years ago. Although it can be a little overwhelming with how you need to work with the lighting, angle, aperture, and all that but over time you’d get the hang of it and you’ll have your own style by mixing different techniques that you’ve picked up along the way. Here are some tricks that will allow you to get amazing results with fewer complications:

Your Own Lightbox
This is a simple project that could have extensive uses for various works that would require you to focus on a subject void of background. Also, by looking into https://chasingheartbeats.com/best-mirrorless-camera-under-1000/ you’ll be able to incorporate the advantages of a mirrorless camera along with the cost-cutting benefits of having your own lightbox. All you need is your trusty camera and some common office supplies.

a. Get a cardboard box and close one side of it.

b. Now you’ll need to remove the flaps of the side across from what you’ve closed. You’ll now have a box with one side wide open.

c. Position the box with the open side at the front. Carve out a hole on the three sides of the box (the top, left, and right).

d. Cover the holes with white tissue paper.

e. Take a white poster paper and tape it unto the inside portion of the backside of the box. The poster should be long enough to cover the insides of the back and bottom sides of the box in a continuous drop void of any creases.

Shadow Effects
You might laugh at how a simple strainer can help you create one of the most astonishing shots with shadows. If you have ample natural light through a small opening like a window, then you have the perfect conditions to use this effect. Put the strainer between the light source and the subject so that it creates an effect where the shadow of the strainer highlights the holes.

Flash Diffuser
A flash diffuser can cost you an average of $10 online, but what it really does is softens the light from the flash. You can just create one by using a simple film container. Measure the thickness of your camera’s pop flash and using that measurement cut out a portion of the film container length-wise. This will allow you to easily slip on the film container to cover your camera’s flash.

Surprisingly Beautiful Backdrops
This will not only save you money, but it can also save you time. By choosing an image to use as your backdrop for a subject small enough to be placed in front of your monitor, you’ll have access to countless designs online. When you’ve selected one, position the subject relatively close to the monitor as you would for a backdrop. Have a light source on one side either on the left or the right side of the subject with a piece of paper to soften its effect.



You can come up with your own tricks yourself that don’t require you to purchase expensive equipment or go to the most difficult locations. The key is to have the creativity and the knack to solve problems by thinking outside the box. So just continue to shoot and work on your craft to create images the world has never seen.
