3 Rules for Great Shots
- Best Light: Shoot early morning or 1 hour before sunset (golden hour) to avoid harsh overhead eye shadows.
- Camera: Always use the back lens of your phone (never the lower-res selfie camera). Set to 4K or highest resolution.
- Safety: Take 4 to 5 variations of each pose with slightly different smiles and head angles so we have plenty of options!
