“Follow Me” images were an Instagram craze once upon a time. But it is a great way to express and take romantic photos.

Just go to a place which you are your partner both like. Ideally and open space with good background and natural lighting. Ask your partner to hold your hand and guide you while you take the shots.

The photo you capture would be very romantic and it would bring a smile to your face years later when you see it.

3. Take photos at romantic places like Beach

Everyone likes beaches and they have a romantic appeal. If there is a beach nearby your place you must try to visit for great romantic photos. If you don’t live in a coastal town or city then head to a good place like parks and other open spaces.

The best time to visit would be early morning or late afternoon before dark when the sun is low and you get beautiful golden light. Make the best use of natural lighting and take the photo from various angles.

4. Create a Flat Lay of your gifts

If you are the person receiving lots of gifts and or buys lots of gifts then this is ideal for you.

Flat lay photos are modern while having an upbeat feeling and it is highly suitable for sharing it on your social feeds.

Take all your gifts and lay it on the table and make sure they are neatly organized. Place the dominant item like chocolates, heart cut-out, off-centre and fill the other space by using supporting elements like cards, candy hearts, roses etc.

5. Photograph your children with valentine’s day gift and goodies

Valentine’s day is just not only for couples. Children can take part in the valentines day too. 

Children like balloons, chocolates and all things colourful. So why not give them what they like?

Instead of only focusing on photographing your better half try to photograph your kids instead. Give them the valentines day props and ask them to play with them and do fun things with the items. They can eat chocolates, play with balloons etc and you can take nice pictures.
