The upgraded mirror selfie

Create an *aesthetic* flatlay
- Consider your content and what you tend to talk about on your feed.
- Grab items around the house that are related to your niche, fit in with your feed, or give a little insight into your life, current faves, etc.
- Arrange them together and have a play with the objects, taking pictures as you move items around.
- Finally, you’ll find the perfect shot!

Play with lighting
- Get the golden hour glow, by taking pictures at sundown, that have a warmly lit, golden effect.
- Use fresh, natural light, or take photos in the window.
- Colour in pieces of cling film and tape them over your lights or lens to create DIY coloured gels at home.

Prepare for bathtime
- Use a bath bomb to create a surrounding of color to submerge yourself in.
- Use flower petals to fill your bath with, to create that ‘fairy aesthetic’.
- Take a good old-fashioned bubble bath and take some lifestyle pictures that feel like the everyday.
- Want the classic ‘milky bath’ photoshoot? You don’t have to start pouring pints of milk in the bath, don’t worry. You can pick up milky bath products like the Lush Milky Bubble Bar or L’Occitane’s Almond Milky Bath.
