TIPS
⠀
- Save this list, but don't get overwhelmed!
.
- If you love video, pick a video app like Fly or PicPlayPost to start tinkering with. Like anything, it takes a little getting used to, but you'll be a pro in no time.
.
- If you are more of a photo kinda coach, I highly recommend starting with something like Rhonna which is VERY robust and has a lot of features, or SPACE PAINT that adds really cool effects.
.
- Think go big or go home. The greatest photos on social media are either products of multiple apps and tons of creativity (like we earned earlier this week) or one REALLY good simple photo with great light and an interesting or beautiful focal point.
