Recently, everyone likes to photograph marigolds. After the freshest manicure or build-up, you want to demonstrate “update” to your friends.
Or maybe you just like the composition with macro photography of nails, because now really unique paintings in various techniques are painted on the plate.
Or are you a professional builder who needs to regularly update his portfolio to attract potential customers.
In any case, in all these situations, the skill of the photographer will not hurt. The popularity of the idea will depend on the quality of the picture and the composition itself, as well as a number of little things.
Let's look at 10 interesting options on how you can beautifully and correctly photograph a fresh manicure.
10. Attributes in the frame
We do not recommend that you photograph your hands the way you did a couple of years ago - just crossed fingers on a beautiful rag. Now the subject shooting is trending - some dishes or a delicious mouth-watering dish next to a neat female handle.
Filling the frame with meaning is very easy if you photograph a new manicure on a juicy fruit (apple, papaya, bunch of grapes, etc.), or near a cup with a beautiful cappuccino.
Elegantly looking female hands, shifting love letters or collecting herbarium. Ideally, if the subject will be combined in color with a manicure. Remember that the background should not be sticky.
9. Set the direction
Have you noticed that most craftswomen photograph brushes folded on a horizontal surface? So, fingers, and with them a new manicure, look a little “sad.”
Marigolds should also be encouraging, so it is important to apply a psychological technique - to keep your hands above the surface with your fingers slightly up.
Or you can put your palm diagonally against the wall - so the blood will drain from the fingers, the skin of the hands will look lighter and younger.
But the brushes based on some object (for example, a lamp for sushi) give out transmitted veins, which looks unpleasant in the frame.
8. How about crossbreeding
Crossing graceful nails on a beautiful background is, as we mentioned, the style of past years. However, everything new is well forgotten old. The very idea of crossing your arms remains relevant if not only your fingers, but your hands and wrists fall into the frame.
They must remain relaxed so that the blood does not stagnate and the skin acquires a healthy color. If an elbow remains in the frame, the photo will look more fresh, stylish and interesting. In this case, the emphasis on “tasty” manicure will not be lost, you can be sure.
7. The palette in the hands
A new fashion trend in the photo is compliance with one color scheme of key accents. You can supplement the photo of a hand with manicure with any objects in a suitable gamut of shades.
But it will be much more interesting to use the color palette itself, which prevails in manicure. It can be presented in the form of strokes on the canvas, or the fingers will hold the corresponding varnish.
Believe me, such an idea will look visually “appetizing” and will certainly increase the number of subscribers to your working group.
6. Hand-face
And this time it’s not about a funny meme that was popular a couple of years ago. In fact, photos with areas of the face and manicure in the frame look very feminine, gentle and harmonious.
Of course, when against the background of a smooth cheek the girl shows vulgar and sharp nails of purple color, the composition will not work. But if you carefully put your hand in a thoughtful pose to the chin or cheek, barely touching the skin with your nails, then the photo will turn out to be artistically attractive.
You can crop such a picture until you get the interesting still life you need with an emphasis on manicure techniques.
5. Macro
In the world of modern technology, people have begun to respect macro photography, close-ups and strict minimalism. In the end, if you are selling a manicure service, then it is he who should play a key role in your composition.
We can remove everything superfluous - objects, rags, backgrounds and other trifles, and just take the neat, well-groomed nail plates large into the frame.
Take care that there are not even the slightest burrs or bruises - on the macro, such trifles will be striking. Also, do not abuse the cuticle leaving oil, which can shift the emphasis from the picture to its glossy shine.
4. Small handbag
Did you think that photos of marigolds on the background of the bag went into oblivion? No matter how! A stylish women's accessory always saves the situation.
Put your well-groomed hand on small shiny clutches, confidently hold a city backpack or business work briefcase.
So the frame will look as natural and natural as possible - a female oasis in the bustle of the city. At the same time, palms must be laid one on top of the other, with fingers extended, and the handbag held in front of you.
3. Plexus
Manicure on interlocked fingers looks very elegant. You can cross them in the form of a “Christmas tree” or “basket”, just remember that your fingers should always look “optimistic” upward. At the same time, photographs look great, both in the middle plan and in macro.
But only if the owner of the new manicure has short and chubby fingers, then it is better not to do such a composition. Fingers like “sausages” will shift the whole emphasis of manicure on themselves, unfortunately. But the “pianists” with elongated and thin phalanxes are ideal models for demonstrating new types of manicure.
2. Background is everything
There’s no need to recall how important the correct background is in building the composition. Not only color gamut should be selected, but also semitones, level of play of light and low tides.
And how cool is the stylish texture and texture emphasizing manicure? It can be a space or metal style, or maybe delicate lace or an exquisite tree. Unleash your imagination, but do not forget about taste and fashion trends.
1. In his surroundings
Photos with improvised material will always be original, so to speak, in a working environment. But this does not mean that you need to use the "cliche" and photograph your hands on the lamp for drying.
Experiment! Sprinkle rhinestones or pieces of foil, which is used in manicure, and put your palms in this “dust”. Turn the cute colorful buff or nail file in your delicate fingers.
Beautiful manicure is a lot of work and quality work. But a beautiful photograph of such a manicure is also the talent of an esthete! Improve and develop, which will expand your audience, whether it's subscribers or potential customers.
