Hello, our beloved beauty hunters! This is the Beauty Hunter content team, and today you'll learn how to create that «sticky» content.

You've probably seen those beautiful photos of lashes or brows, where you can see every hair, every eyelash up close, as if the camera is "diving" into them.
 

How can you take such photos without using expensive professional cameras?

The solution is simple, and the recipe is as follows:

  • Your smartphone
  • A detachable macro lens for phone.

 

The essence of a macro lens is that it uses a special diopter to bring the shot as close as possible without losing image quality. This is the magic that such a lens can do:

Agree, the first photo taken with the lens looks more impressive than without it.


How to use a macro lens correctly?

The phone lens kit include two lenses: macro and wide-angle. We need the bottom lens, so we unscrew the top one (the wide-angle lens) and can get started!

 

 

Don't forget to wipe the camera before putting the lens on the phone.

 

  1. Put the macro lens on the main camera of your phone (if you have multiple cameras, you can find the main one by trying to put the lens on different cameras and holding it close to the object to determine if there is a "macro" effect). In the camera app, turn off the macro mode to prevent the image quality from worsening.

  2. Open the camera app on your phone, hold the camera as close to the object as possible, and find the desired angle.
  3. Fix the focus on the object in the camera app and zoom in on the photo to avoid distortion and make the frame look more harmonious.
  4. Ready! Now you can press the photo or video recording button.


Macro lens for shooting object photos

Try using not only photos of your work in your content, but also details of your workspace. Spice up your feed with such content: take pictures or videos of your usual working materials in macro. You can use such shots as backgrounds for stories, for video reels, telling about the features of the products you work with - thus, you will also demonstrate your expertise to your audience. The use of such content is limited only by your imagination and creativity, so the possibilities are endless.
