Now that you’ve stalked/browsed my bookstagram feed, for sure you noticed my different feed themes. From reddish-gloomy-summery white-pastel pink. So I’m gonna do a tutorial for you guys on how do I edit them 😊

• Natural Lighting – I used to photoshoot with artificial lighting (in nightime which is very very bad for shooting bookstagram photos, see the result on my older post) since I was busy that time & no time to photoshoot during daytime. But when I tried using natural lighting, it was superb! So I suggest that if you’re a bookstagram newbie, you better use natural lighting.
• Apps That I Used – When it comes to editing photos, I tried so many apps to edit my photos. But there is one & only for me VSCO & POMELO. But for now, I stopped using VSCO & what I’m using now is POMELO. It was so good, so many filters to choose & highly recommended!What I’m currently using right now is PREHNITE which is amazing if you’re into gloomy-reddish photos
• Accessories – If you’re a bookstagram newbie, you may have noticed some other bookstagrammers used alot of accessories on their photos. Such as candles, bookmarks, cutie notebooks, arts, jewelry, girly stuffs, plants & flowers and etc. To achieve a bookstagram photo post, you need to more creative when mixing some of your amazing stuffs with your books.

APP USED : Pomelo  by Meitu.inc / this is a free app, you can download it on Playstore 

1. PREHNITE / Freeze / POMELO
