As a second-rate Bookstagram influencer, I am always perusing different websites for book inspiration. Because I am an advocate of budgeting, I\u2019m not willing to spend money on additional props to capture the perfect shot. Perfecto Capucine\u2019s<\/a> photo caught my eye because it came across as more natural and authentic than some of the other hygge-like images. I can recall sitting outside in several different settings and capturing very similar photos. Although there is nothing inherently wrong with “Person Holding Person Holding Kobo E-reader<\/a>,” a few alterations would make it more suitable for my purpose, which is to promote my E-reader and\/or share about a book I have recently finished. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using the rule of thirds, I decided to crop the bulk of the person’s identifying features from the original image. Since I am viewing this through a social media perspective, I felt removing the tattoos and some of the chunky bracelets allowed for more viewers to relate with the person holding the main subject. I also chose to emphasize the E-reader by removing one of the blurred individuals on the right-hand side. In doing this, my eyes wander less and are more drawn towards the Kobo. An edit like this still allows for an aesthetically pleasing image, but it helps the viewer understand that I would rather them focus on the act of reading over everything else.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
