Product Photos in a Hurry and on a Budget
Let’s face it, we’re in the age of the side hustle and the gig economy, and that’s unlikely to change any time soon. If you’re selling anything, anywhere, the better your photos are, the more likely you are to make a sale. If a picture is worth a thousand words, a good picture could be worth a thousand sales. Or just that one sale that means the difference between eating ramen noodles all week and a cart full of groceries.

Game-Changing Photo Editing Tutorial For Social Media
It can be hard to compose the perfect photo. Even when we think we’ve snapped a great picture, there are always enhancements that can further accentuate our natural skills. Should I adjust the exposure? Should I photoshop this blemish? Should I be hyper-vigilant about crafting the perfect picture? Is this really a photograph worth sharing?

A Grandma's Gentle Guide to Make Photos Look Better
So, we've FINALLY learned how to save a picture or photo on our desktop (for later posting onto Facebook, or to send in a text or email) without asking our children or grandchildren for help… Bravo for us! If you’re fairly computer illiterate, like me; now, you wish you knew how to make those pictures look better. But every time we try to learn how; the instructions we're given sound like they’re in a foreign language. Well, don’t despair. After much trial and error, I’ve finally figured out the basics, and I will share what I’ve learned with you, in this step-by-step article (for users of Apple Macintosh Desktop computers). Don’t worry, I’m not going to use any highfalutin talk… Rest assured I’ll explain it in easy-to-follow, plain language, step-by-step. (Our children and grandchildren are sure to be surprised—and impressed, that we learned this on our own!) Shall we begin?

How to Edit your Pictures with Airbrush
Don’t own a professional camera? Don’t have any clue what you’re doing when it comes to photography? No problem. I don’t own a professional camera either and less than a year ago, I had no idea what I was doing when it came to photography. I am by no means a professional now either, but I do like how my pictures turn out after editing them. I am someone who loves to travel and I take as many pictures as possible so that I have lasting memories of my trips. About two months into the pandemic, I was really bored during lockdown, so I decided to create a travel account on Instagram to share my pictures. All my pictures are taken with my iPhone and I honestly don’t feel the need to spend hundreds, if not thousands of dollars on a professional camera.

Transforming ordinary moments into winning shots
Being my mother’s daughter, and my mom having been a photographer, you could say I am a photography enthusiast. In fact, I’ve just gotten a camera tattoo! I grew up in front of cameras and, during my teenage years, I was a fashion model for about 5 years. Now, I enjoy getting creative with my shots and have a lot of fun editing and combining filters.
