It is always useful to have options when taking photos so that you can use them in a number of different ways, whether this is as a fun portrait, a professional-looking photo, or one for a dating profile. For those of us who don’t like being in photographs, the idea of taking multiple different shots for different purposes is pretty unappealing. One way to combat this is by taking a single shot that can be edited using software such as PicWish, which is free to use. Keep reading to find out how exactly you can make photos more versatile! Removing The Background Firstly, removing the background of a picture can change its look and suitability altogether. A holiday photo showing you hiking in the mountains may be good for a dating profile, or as a phone background, but it might not be quite as suitable in a more professional setting. If, however, you like the picture of yourself, there are ways to edit it to remove the background. Use a background remover tool to change the background entirely, even making it a plain white one if this is what you are after! Background removal can take a bit of time to perfect, but it is a great skill to have, both in the professional photo editing realm and for your personal snaps. Play Around With A Few Effects Playing around with photo effects is super fun and can make the picture more suitable for different purposes. Additionally, it can change how you feel about the picture and can hide or enhance certain elements. For example, many people consider themselves to look better when the picture is black and white, with this giving an arty feel too. Likewise, you can add effects that make your photo look vintage, saturated, or even cartoon. Once you realize you aren’t limited to standard camera images, photography can feel much more exciting. Wear Neutral Clothing If you want one picture that can cover all of your bases, you should think about what you are wearing. An ideal outfit could be a neutral t-shirt or shirt, which will set you up for an image that is appropriate for several purposes. This will mean you can print off a copy to send to relatives as well as keep it as a flattering photo of yourself that you like, without having to stress about it not being transferable! Additionally, if your clothing is neutral rather than a fashion piece, you are more likely to still like the picture in years to come, with it being timeless rather than representing a phase in your life. If you regard photographs as memories rather than something that you have to look flawless in, taking them will be a much nicer process, without the added element of stress or feeling at all paranoid. Photographs are like a modern diary and are amazing for capturing moments and combined with the modern possibility of editing, you can remember things exactly how you want!
