Taking Effective Interior Design Photographs

Heidi Jewell is an experienced Denver digital advertising professional who aims to meet the needs of corporate clients as part of the VOCO Creative team. Building on media experience that she gained in Nashville, Heidi Jewell works closely with Denver clients in preparing photos for media campaigns. Her interest in photography extends to fine art, architecture, and interior design.

While it might seem that the homes themselves define the best photographic approach, effectively conveying the atmosphere and design of interior spaces requires careful consideration. One key is to turn off extraneous interior lights and rely as much as possible on natural light via windows and skylights. If the light is not strong enough, arrange the camera on a tripod and slow the shutter speed for maximum exposure. 

When framing interior shots, you should begin with straight-on photos that have borders parallel to the walls. Check items such as pillows and paintings, and ensure that the vertical and horizontal elements roughly correspond with the lines on a grid.

Running on a regular basis can improve your health in multiple ways. A study from the Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience journal states that shorter-term exercise such as running improves cognition.

Aside from boosting brain function, running can improve your mood, as intense activity causes a signal of pleasure as a result of a rise in brain chemicals known as endocannabinoids. Relatedly, regular running can lead to a decrease in anxiety and depression. Finally, according to the Journal of Adolescent Health, individuals who go for a morning run can improve their sleep.

Tips for Photographing Food

With the advent of smartphones and Instagram, photographing food has become a daily ritual for many. However, there are ways to make food photos really pop, according to BBC Good Food. First, try to avoid using flash, as the light will flatten the dish and eliminate natural shadows that add to the composition. It is a good idea to use a tripod in order to avoid the blurriness that comes from shaky hands.

When composing the shot, carefully select props that will contribute to the photo--everything should be thoughtfully placed. Be sure to try different angles and determine which is the best and if you feel like the composition isn’t working, it’s a good time to rearrange or start over. Finally, don’t let the food sit around too long and don’t be afraid to add misty bursts of water to give food a more vibrant appearance.

Tips to Be a Stronger Hiker

The former Nashville editor for Nylon magazine, Heidi Jewell was responsible for covering the city’s daily activities. Now residing in Denver, she manages client relationships, digital efforts, and performs various additional duties as an account manager for VOCO Creative. Aside from fulfilling her professional obligations, Heidi Jewell enjoys an array of hobbies, including hiking in the vicinity of Denver and beyond.

There are several tips to bear in mind if you want to become a stronger hiker. Take trail mix, as it is vital to keep your hard-working muscles enriched with nutrients. Bringing a lunch is insufficient; you need trail mix to keep you functioning at an optimal level.

Aside from nutrition, it’s beneficial to avoid wearing cotton while hiking. Instead, you should take advantage of wicking layer technology. Wicking means that sweat will be moved away from your body, through the layers. Cotton, by contrast, will absorb your sweat.

How to Improve Your Food Photography

As an account manager at VOCO Creative in Denver, Heidi Jewell manages digital efforts, while helping to create and execute on social media campaigns. Formerly a producer for Nashville Public Television, Heidi Jewell also hosted a five-episode series for the network. During her leisure time in Denver, she enjoys multiple hobbies, including photography.

Although food photography can be more challenging than other types of photography, improvement can be achieved by applying various techniques. Knowing your angle is the first step. There may seem to be only a few angles when it comes to food, but it’s crucial to get the most precise angle prior to capturing the photo. You will need to think of the food along with its height, shape, and size. Once you find the quality of the food, that should be your angle.

If you are trying to shoot a photo of the front side of food, it’s an advantage to have a background and foreground. Try to fill in the empty spaces with some ingredients from the main dish to allow a story to be told within the picture.
