Good news: you don't need a fancy camera. Your phone is plenty. A few simple habits make your posts look their absolute best, and give us more to work with.
The quick version
Do
Natural light, near a window
A clean, simple background
Get in nice and close
Hold steady, tap to focus
A few angles of the same thing
Try to avoid
Harsh flash or dim light
A cluttered, busy background
Standing too far back
Blurry or rushed shots
Only one photo to choose from
5 quick wins
Chase the light
Shoot by a window in daytime. Skip the flash, it flattens everything.
Clear the background
Move the clutter behind the flowers so they're the star.
Get close
Fill the frame. Close-ups of blooms and detail always win.
Steady does it
Tap the screen to focus, then hold still for a crisp shot.
Send a few
Two or three angles of the same thing, we'll pick the best one.
People are lovely
A hand holding a bouquet, or you at work, adds a warm human touch.
Not sure about a photo? Send it anyway. We tidy every photo (crop, straighten, brighten) before it goes out, and we'll always tell you if a quick reshoot would help.
