One of the trendier but challenging to nail Instagram technique is the flay lay photography. Used frequently by influencers and popular online personalities, piecing together a flat lay serves as a helpful way for users to unabashedly flaunt one's treasures. Nonetheless, it still requires a set of skills to achieve this very photography technique! So here are 10 tips that will hopefully teach you how it is done:
3. Have a clear background, the simpler the better
Have you attended a presentation where the presenter’s slides used backgrounds so complicated that you could barely read the words? Like shaping your flat lay, you want your audience to pay attention to your subject. Thus, if you accompany them with a convoluted background, they will lose focus on the principal thing in the photo. Simple does not necessarily mean white. It could be a plain pink or yellow background if it accentuates the theme you want to achieve. Likewise, if your objects are primarily lighter or darker in shade then know that using a background of a contrasting tone will serve you better. Do not go crazy with patterned backgrounds. If you intend to shake things up a bit, try textured backgrounds like wooden, marble or even woven fabric.
