Okay, so today I decided to jump on this “who wore it better” thing I’ve been seeing all over social media. It seemed like a fun, lighthearted challenge, and honestly, I was kinda curious to see how I’d stack up.
Getting Started
First, I needed to pick an outfit. I didn’t want to go too crazy, but I also didn’t want to just throw on jeans and a t-shirt. After rummaging through my closet for a good 20 minutes, I settled on this flowy, floral-print dress I’ve had for ages. I figured it was summery, a little bit bold, and something I don’t wear super often.
The Setup
Next up, location. My apartment isn’t exactly Instagram-worthy, so I figured I’d head outside. There’s this cute little park near my place with a bunch of flowers and a nice brick wall – perfect for a backdrop. I grabbed my phone, my trusty tripod (a lifesaver for solo photoshoots!), and headed out.
- Find Good Light: Natural light is always better. Avoid direct sunlight that can make some area looks over exposure, shadows are important.
- Experiment with Angles: I took some shots from lower down, some straight on, even a few from above.
- Strike a Pose: I kept it casual, just walking, twirling the dress a bit, and generally trying to look like I wasn’t trying too hard.
The Editing
Once I had a bunch of photos I was (mostly) happy with, it was time for some light editing. I’m no Photoshop wizard, so I just used the basic editing tools on my phone.
- Brightness and Contrast:I bumped up the brightness a tad and added a little contrast to make the colors pop.
- Saturation: I increased color saturation a bit to make them looks good.
- Sharpness:Make every details stand out.
The Result
After all that, I finally had a photo I was ready to share. I posted it alongside a picture of a model wearing a similar dress I found online, added the “who wore it better” caption, and waited. And you know what? It was actually pretty fun! I got some nice comments, a few funny ones, and it was just a silly way to spend an afternoon. No regrets, would totally do it again.
