Lighting isn’t something that many of us take into consideration for our social media. Sure, if we’re posting photographs of our clients to social media, they’re already lit anyway, but if we’re shooting images or videos that are just for social media, it’s usually ignored.

Instagram Stories gets a fresh new look on the desktop
by 1 Comment
Instagram has started rolling out a new look for how we view Instagram Stories on the desktop. It’s been testing the redesign for a little while now, but now it appears to be getting implemented into actual live accounts.
Rather than the usual single card that pops up for your current story, now you get a new carousel-style look with previous and next buttons, pause, play and audio buttons.
