I sometimes have a problem and I want to know if I am the only one. There are days when all my pictures turn out to be great, I take pictures of three outfits in the same day and love them all. There are other times when my pictures stop getting in the gallery, and I hate each and every of them!! I look ugly, or the poses are lame, or I never synchronize my body with the timer of the camera!! And I upload them on Chictopia, and then I keep deleting them!! I think it has been a week now when I hate all my new pictures. I mean, are there “talented” days with beautiful pictures and “bad” photo days? :P Does this ever happen to you?

What time of the day is it best to take outdoor style pictures? Is it better to have the sun behind you, in front of you, or above you?

Which is much better?

Should we use SLR for a fashion photo shoot, or is it enough to use pocket camera or even an iPhone for the shoot?

What do you think?

Why do I keep getting red-eye in my night time photos? It looks so creepy so I have to go and edit them out. What causes this and how do I prevent it from happening all the time?

What’s your favorite place to shoot your outfit photos? Do you like to keep the background blank, or have more going on?

or..how do you take them yourself?

i usually see pics that are stolen shots, serious looks.... my question is that what would be the most catchy post in front of the cam ? :)

Hello
With what program do you edit your pictures?
Is it online?or…

I absolutely love disposable cameras. If I could use them all the time, I would! Haha, my latest look was actually shot with a dispo! It was a lot of fun, not to mention convinient.

What are YOUR thoughts on disposable cameras?

What color do you photograph well in?
I’m olive skinned and I’ve noticed that I I looked washed out in pictures when I colors like red, salmon and beige. I look better in colors like royal blue, gray and black. Have you ever noticed this before? What colors looks best on you on camera?

I am helping my boss choose event photographers and I noticed that the ones with the most fancy equipment aren’t always the best ones. What makes a good event photographer?

Hi

i would like to know who take pictures with his iphone ? and do you like the quality?

I was wondering if anyone knew how to edit photos to give them that “vintage” look that looks similar to the quality of a polaroid picture?

Ainsworth did a photo like this: http://www.chictopia.com/photo/show/411887-Les+Freres+Ainsworth+-+MARIONR-beauty-old-converse-bag-noir-vintage-jacket-belt

Thanks if anyone can help!

What photo editing software/apps do you use? I only use picmonkey on the web.

everyone’s pics look so good here on chictopia, i was just wondering what camera do you guys use?

It’s so hard to capture a perfect floating shot!

Favourite camera?

Hi All,

I have an online shop selling jewellery (stonethemoon.com) and I have tried and tried to get a completely white background on the product photos and have pretty much failed with every attempt. I photo products in a light tent on a white background which is lit from the outside, with a higher exposure on my camera and the photos still turn out with a grey or coloured tint. I edit them using Gimp and adjust the levels and contrast and colour balance and the background still isnt completely white.

Can anyone help me with this as its driving me mad! How do you get a completely white background on product pics??

Thanks!

Kayte

Which street style photographer/blog do you follow? I will always and forever be a Scott Schuman fan.

my favourite photo editor is picmonkey

Nikon or Canon? Hmm..what will it be

SO i’m planning on buying a new camera but i dont just want any digital camera. i want a professional camera. i want a camera that takes videos, focuses well, takes great pictures, looks like a professional camera but also is affordable and by affordable i don’t mean 100$ by affordable i mean a good camera that is worth its price,

please leave your suggestions below. i will really appreciate it.

How can i take backlit photos that are nice too look at

What editing software do you use and what are your editing techniques? How long does it take to edit a photo?

I straighten and crop my photos in iphoto then adjust the exposure and play with filters and curves in photoshop. It takes me about 5 minutes to edit a photo (which starts to add up when I’m editing a lot of them!)

How long does it take you to do a photo shoot for a picture on this blog. I usually try out about 3 different backgrounds and I take maybe 30 photos and it just seems to take me forever. I exhaust myself but that is because I am the photographer and the model and I have to run back and forth as I have a point and shoot camera and normally I put the camera down low so I have to bend down so much.

Do you post your photos on chictopia the same day you take them or do you take pictures of several outfits in one day and post them through out the week?

Sometimes when I’m taking a picture for Chictopia, I’ll run out of poses and the picture starts turning out awkward. What do you guys do?

I love seeing street style photos where the blogger looks all clear and crisp in the foreground but the background is all blurry. I can’t figure out how to get that. All I know is that I have to use a lower number for the aperture to modify that depth of field. Can someone help?
