4 Interesting Ways to Enhance Your Photographs

Everyone takes pictures. With cameras on just about every phone out there and in just about every household, you can’t just let your photos remain tired and boring. I guess you could, but why would you want to?
If you consider yourself an avid amateur photographer who just loves taking pictures, below you’ll find four ways to spruce up your pictures so you can have professional pictures without being a professional:



1. Sepia Tint

Sepia makes any picture you take look like an older photograph. What makes the picture pop even more than before is its ability to contrast lower light objects with higher light objects, making a sort of otherworldly appearance.

Most would use this type of image tint to turn an ordinary image into a classic an inspiring image.

2. Black and White

While Sepia gives your photos a vintage look, black and white tint gives your photos an even older look. Think back to the early 1900’s when TV and movies just came out. There were some truly classic pictures that we’ve seen, and the black and white is a tribute to that feel.

Most would use this tint to give an image a classic feel that just wouldn’t give off the same aura with color.

3. Negative Image

Showing a negative of something means you’ll be showing the opposite color spectrum than the natural photograph. While you can’t use negative images in every occasion, when done right, you can have a really popped image.

Most would use this type of effect to make something pop that wouldn’t normally be obvious. Black objects will benefit most from this.

4. Overexposure


Overexposure sounds like a bad thing, but when done correctly, you can make your images look brilliant. With overexposure, you can allow objects that are constantly moving to be streamed in photo form. For instance, if you were to overexpose a shot of the stars or a waterfall. When done right, the aftereffect a truly breathtaking sight that makes the extra time spent exposing the photograph worth it.

Most would use this type of effect when trying to capture nature or some other lengthy, constantly moving area with a different look to it.
These four effects will make your photos look so much better, and with a little bit of experimenting, you can tailor these to your style as best as you can. Have fun!
