    We’re living in the age of social media, where anyone can be a photographer in their own right. With the slew of selfies and landscape snapshots on Instagram feeds, standing out would be a challenge. 

    If you want a photo that grabs attention, UK-based photographer Victoria Tapper says it’s about making your personality stand out.

    “Let them see ‘normality’ in action, especially when it comes to your surroundings, what you wear and how you really work, then beautifully photograph it,” Tapper wrote in an article for LinkedIn.

    The social media age also brought on many “plastic” personalities where people often mask their true selves. However, everyone else tends to see through the artificiality, which is why Tapper pushes for authenticity. 

    “Be proud of your individuality and quirkiness, it’s what makes you unique. Show your weaknesses and failings and you’ll be loved for it,” she stated.

    But what makes a good photograph? According to events photographer Ivan Martinez, it’s not necessarily about achieving perfection in a technical sense. Rather, it’s about making your unique view of the world stand out. 

    “Making a great photo is a matter of being creative and being able to apply your personal drive to your pictures,” Martinez wrote in his personal blog, adding that a “great” photo is born out of inspiration, which you find through practice and exploration.

    However, that isn’t to say that technical abilities don’t play a role. Martinez provided some tips on using different color combinations and tones. According to him, warmer hues are often used to project gentleness and romance. 

    On the other hand, harsher colors often convey stronger emotions like danger, passion, and fear.
