Today marks Day 2 of the 14 Day Valentine's Yoga Challenge, and a couple people have asked for tips on taking yoga photos, so here I am!
1. Pick a blank background
Choose a blank or neutral background. A bunch of stuff in the background is distracting and takes away from your pose. If it's possible, avoid wearing the same color pants as the background.
2. Camera height & angle
Figure out what part of the body is required to be in the centre of the picture and make the camera in line with that part of the body. Then, check the height of the camera to ensure you'll be on the picture :P .
3. Yoga selfie tip
If you don't have anyone to take your photo, use the video feature on your phone. I prefer doing this rather than a self timer because you can ease your way into the pose and find your fullest expression. To get the picture, just take a screenshot of the fullest expression.
4. Take the pic when you're warm
Ok this is a no brainer but it must be said. When it comes time to take your photo, make sure to do it at the end of a practice when you're nice and warm. Not only will your fullest expression be, well, more full when you're warm, but being warm can prevent an injury.
Hope those tips help!
