How to Take the Perfect Beach Pic, As Seen on Lorin Gutierrez
1. Balance is key.
A good photo is a balanced photo; you can use a couple of techniques to achieve balance, like the rule of thirds. But if that’s too much to think about, there’s nothing wrong with just making sure your photo is centered. One of the easiest ways Lorin makes her photos look balanced is by always ensuring she’s in the center of her photos.
2. Golden hour is the best hour.
If you’re outdoors, there is no better time to take pictures than during the golden hour, and Lorin knows that. Golden hour is that magical time shortly after sunrise and just before sunset when the sun is low in the sky, creating a warm, soft, and golden glow.
When you’re at the beach, you’re able to witness the full glory of golden hour, creating a beautiful gradient across the horizon, making it not just the perfect lighting but also the most gorgeous backdrop for your photos.
3. Have a set of poses ready!
Knowing how to pose can make the biggest difference in photos. Lorin has a set of go-to poses that never fail to look good on camera. Take some inspiration from Lorin or experiment to find which poses work best for you.
4. It’s not always about swimsuits.
While we can’t get enough of Lorin’s sultry bikini pics, a good beach pic doesn’t always require you to be in a bikini, especially if you aren’t too comfortable showing off skin. To be honest, any summer outfit will do, like this gorgeous cut-out dress Lorin is wearing.
5. Be confident!
Last but not least, be confident! Confidence plays a crucial role in photos. When you’re uncomfortable in front of the camera, it shows. And we know how easy it is to feel self-conscious when you’re taking photos in a public area. Some tips to feel confident and comfortable during a beach shoot are to know your angles, wear something that you love, and most of all, have fun!
