Social media has become a platform for working professionals to show off their crafts and creativity. Photography has become a part and parcel of everyone’s life. In the past, only those with expensive cameras or photo studios would have the equipment for taking pictures and people often relied on those rather than to attempt it on their own. Today, professional photographers line the street who are proficient in using their phones to shoot amazing content for sponsors and clients. For instance, mobile moguls Apple and Samsung have broken barriers by filming advertisements and music videos solely on their devices, proving that you no longer need a camera and studio equipment worth tens of thousands, you just need your imagination and ability to break limits. Today, there are software such as Movavi that are powerful enough to not only edit photos but videos as well. The Movavi Video Editor Basic even comes equipped with a library of media, ranging from stock videos, music and more.
Sell your creativity
A big problem that is haunting today’s advertising or promotional market is that it is saturated with the same old ideas. Beauty is only beautiful when it is rare, and when you are surrounded by beauty left and right, you need to take it a step further in order to stand out from the crowd and this is where creativity comes in. You don’t have to sell a different and fresh new idea every day, but you should have a fixed niche.
According to the CEO of Movavi, “Photographers don’t earn money from simply taking photos, they make a living based on the very specific way they look at the world or edit their photos,” therefore, to be distinct you must be different and don’t be afraid that your creativity is too weird – there will always be a market for all kinds of art.
Hone your skills
Those that use social media as their platform for marketing and advertising are more often than not, self taught individuals who learnt how to create commercials in the form of art. While being self taught is a trait that many embrace and even promote, the truth is that you can benefit from improving your skills through a class. There are some professionals who never stop seeking out classes to join in order to improve and develop their style. While software like Movavi do not require you to know how to color correct (it will do it for you), you still need to know how to better your angles and bring your shots to the next level.
Invest in a intuitive software
“If you want something intuitive and effective, you need to know it’s never going to be free,” wise words by the CEO of Movavi, a software that is both mobile and pc friendly. With a range of features that allow quick and easy editing, including removing parts of a picture you don’t like and fixing up spoilt shots – such as an unfortunate photobomb or a lens flare – with just a simple tap, you will have the perfect shot at your fingertips without much effort and because time is money, by investing in a software that can do in seconds what you can do in minutes, you will not be wasting any time on opportunity cost.
