TUTORIAL BOOKSTAGRAM TRICKS: HOW TO TAKE PHOTOS OF EBOOKS by Lyn
(Nomadic Worlds Book Blog)
In this world of rapid technology, an eBook Reader is handy for all the books you want to read or carry around with you, without dragging a weighty suitcase behind you everywhere you go. But taking Bookstagram photos of eBooks can be tricky. If you are a book dragon like me who’s also an avid Bookstagrammer, this a major source of frustration for you. Here’s how you can take pretty awesome photos of eBooks. 1. Photo arrangement First of all, set up your photoshoot with the props and the tablet/eBook Reader/ phone you want to use for your eBook. I love using origami—they add such bright colors to your photos. You can either already have the book cover on your tablet/eBook Reader/phone or leave the screen blank. Save your photo on your computer. As you can see in the photo below, I used my tablet and left the screen blank. 2. Book Cover If you don’t have the book cover for the eBook you want, you can google it. You can find a copy on Goodreads, which is a great site for all the books you want to find. Save a copy of the book cover on your computer.
3.Pixlr Editor Next up, we will use an online photo editor (https://pixlr.com/ editor/) to add the book cover to your photo. Don’t worry, it’s a free site. You just need the know-how and you will need to make sure flash player is on/allowed on your computer to run Pixlr Editor. 3.1 Click “Open Image from Computer”
