The BEST tip they never told you in photo class...

The Most Simple Secret... But the Best.

We all want to get the perfect shot, right? A HUGE secret to my success is... MUSIC! As many of you already know, music is my heart and soul. Not only do I listen to it all throughout my day, I listen to it while having mini photoshoots.

Choose the right songs for the setting

Music won't have a big factor to your accomplishment if its the wrong style and doesn't fit the mood that you are trying to create. Scrolling through my Spotify is like a never-ending puzzle of music... It's essential to have every song handy at all times! Who knows what mood you are going to be in! For goodness sake we are confusing creatures... there is no telling on how we might feel tomorrow.

Music helps your mood in every scenario...

I know this might seem almost too simple but music seriously sets your mood for practically EVERYTHING.

Let me list some examples:

when you're having the best day ever

- upbeat pop songs that your going to get tired of in 2 mins

when your in the worst mood you have ever witnessed

- some depressing hit from the early 2000's we all forgot existed

when your about to pass out from exhaustion

- mellow R&B song that sounds like you are about to go on a tropical vacation and never come back

when your hanging out with your friends

- an old theme song from a TV show we all used to obsess over constantly when we were 2

Try it while shooting!

SO, next time you're trying to get he perfect shot of your bff (or even yourself), try blasting some tunes to set the mood! good luck!!
