April 29, 2017, I was given the chance to see some of the Blogger Besties for
the first time. All thanks to SM Makati! #SMStyleSeries theme is
#LoveYourSummerStyle and every week they have a guest which is very influential
to everyone when it comes to styling. For that week the guest are Lauren Uy, Kriz Uy, and Nicole Andersson. They gave us some
of the important tips on how to make every #OOTD worthy. I went there
together with my brother because I didn’t know how to go there and my parents
won’t allow me if I go there alone because Hey! I’m only 17. Hahaha! So going
back, the said event is free so we decided to go there earlier than the said
time, maybe 30 minutes before the event and we are lucky enough that there are
still chairs available for us though unfortunately we’re kind of apart from
each other. The #BloggerJowas are also present to support their girlfriends and
of course to take over their social media accounts while they are having a
speech.
In
choosing for a perfect outfit, make sure your outfit is match to the place and
the weather of that place, so you better do some research first if necessary.
Try to play with the textures and don’t be scared in getting out of your
comfort zone. In taking pictures you should consider the lighting, location,
your angles, composition, and confidence. We all know that the perfect lighting
is the natural light so it is better to take pictures when the sun is there.
Take into consideration the shadows so it won’t mess the shots. Try to find a
good location for your outfit and have some angles. All of us have angles, so
if you don’t know your angles yet, try taking selfies with different angles, in
that you will know what angle is good for you. When you already know your angle
don’t forget to use it so you will become fabulous in your pictures. When
you’re making a flatlay make sure you have a composition. You should have a
nice background, for example a bed, beach towels, wooden tables, floor tiles
and others. After that, combine and arrange the things perfectly. In every
pose, you should be confident. Don’t mind the others and rock the outfit. You
decide to wear it so flaunt it.
After
taking pictures, now it’s time to edit. Blogger Besties gave us 5 apps that
they commonly used and these are VSCO, Snapseed, Afterlight, Factune, and Un
Um. VSCO is used to add filters. It provides us a lot of filters but some of
this are not free. Snapseed is for adjusting some basics tools like brightness,
contrast, saturation, ambiance, highlights, shadows, and warmth. Afterlight is
a paid app that cost 43.36php, it is used to play the lightings in the
pictures. Factune is also a paid app that cost 15php and it used to sharpen
some a certain things that you want to emphasize. And Un Um is used for
scheduling and arranging your photos to achieve that feed theme goals.
After
their talk they had a little games. First, the audience should post any kind of
things, whether the set-up, the audience, or the bloggers in their Instagram
account. The besties will pick a winner that they think is the best photo and
the winner will receive a 10,000 gift certificate from SM Makati. Next is the
styling game. Where they picked a confident people and the chosen people will
style their selves using the clothes and accessories that were displayed in the
event. And last, Blogger Besties picked the best dressed among the audience.
Overall, the event is fun and
you will learn a lot of things. Worth the time!
