12 Ways to jazz up everyday photos.

Here is a list of ways you can jazz up everyday photos. In the future I plan to make some tutorials based on these techniques but this is just a list of inspiration. Some techniques can be used when shooting and others can be applied to past photos. 

1. Birds eye view for the everyday objects. (unknown source)

2. Play with reflections. (Photo by Flickr user: rainywomen)

3. Get creative with water! (Photo by Me!) 

4. Try a double exposure, super cute for weddings. (Unknown photographer)

5. Capture motion with a slow shutter speed. (photo by Peter Lindbergh in Numéro) 

6. Edit it to make it look like a Lomo shot.(photo by Ayako Furness)

7. Experiment with adding art. (Sophie Hirschy for Harpers Bazaar) 

8. Add some text (another one by me)

9. Play with grain and textures. (unknown photographer)

10. Try a new perspective. (Bamboo towers, by Shothotspot.com)

11. Wait for natural laughter. (“Syracuse University , 1949″ – photograph by Lisa Larsen)

12. Try your photo in Black and white (unknown photographer)

Alot of these techniques may take some practice before you start seeing results that you like, but never stop experimenting! If there is a particular technique on here that you would like a tutorial on, please let me know in the comments and I'll do it! 

Happy Thursday!
