The background always plays a vital role when capturing photos because oftentimes, whatever is going on around you can make or break a picture. So, be sure to figure out the perfect, scenic backdrop that can help your photos look cool and astounding. After discovering a preferred background, strike the pose you are comfortable doing and feel free to add some props, too. Try this and you will surely achieve the Instagram-worthy photos you have been longing for in your social media feed! 

2. Set the right angle.

The message of a photo can also be conveyed through various angle shots. An angle in a photo often delivers quirkiness as it can create an illusion, a size, or a direction. Let us say you want to capture the whole place with you being the subject in a bird’s eye view, so the angle must be set at an aerial perspective, which can be possible with the use of a drone. Another thing, if you want to capture the whole landscape of the place, you can use a wider angle to achieve this. Just keep on practicing until you get the right angle that you love for your vacation photos. 

3. Shoot some silhouette photos.

Silhouettes evoke serenity and privacy. It is sometimes used by people on vacation, especially at sunset. A picture like this can be visually appealing with aesthetic lighting from the back. You can even add more playfulness by playing with the lights to create an artistic shadow effect. Another thing you can do is by opening the curtains of the windows to showcase the magnificent view. Lovely, isn’t it?

4. Take advantage of the natural light.

Indoor settings can be dreadful when taking photos, especially if the area does not let in enough natural light. Good thing, Astoria Plaza – one of the best hotels in Ortigas, Pasig City – has amazing outdoor spots where you can achieve the perfect lighting for your photographs. Be it in our pristine pool or the façade area, our luxe haven is always ready to be your Instagram playground.
