Hello,
This week I come to you with a post about the world of Bookstagram! If you're new here I have mentioned Bookstagram in a few of my posts but I have never really delved in deeper with it. I thought I would shed some light on the whole thing, just in case you were wondering.
The most important thing to remember, when taking Bookish photos or any photo
really, is all about the lighting and the background. A bright room helps
or taking a photo close to a window. It makes the photo look somewhat
professional too.
Next step, find objects that compliment the cover of your book. I am no expert but I really enjoy taking photos of my shelves and books! Their especially good to use for book reviews and many of you know and will have seen them in previous blog posts!
My favourite spot to take photographs is in coffee shops, it’s the
perfect spot for reading as well taking aesthetically pleasing photographs. If
you’re not one for carrying books with you, you can always take them in the
comfort of your own room. For example, I took this photo on a chair with my favourite knitted blanket.
As well as make your Instagram look good, it also helps you keep track of the books you’ve been reading. I have found that wanting to take photos of books encourages me to read more books. I love seeing people take pictures of their books. Bookstagram has become like a community, a place people can express their love and opinions for a book!
Thank you for reading about a bookish love of mine, hope you have a fabulous week!
