If you are on vacation at Virginia Beach, you just need to know how to take the coolest photo by the sea. We believe that in 2022 everybody cares about their Instagram, uses a chance to buy Instagram followers and finds new ways to impress their audience – so let’s find new ones by creating some stunning shots of you on the beach!

The best shots are taken when the model behaves naturally and forgets about the fact that they are working with a photographer right now. Do whatever you feel like and trust the moment: enjoy every moment and enjoy any action. And the one who takes the photo can spare as many shots as they want, because later you will be able to find some pearls in a hundred of pictures done. The more shots there are, the higher are the chances that you will be able to find the ones that are going to boom your audience on Instagram with beauty and uniqueness.

However, to increase the chance to succeed at it, you can use several pieces of advice that we’re going to give you further:

  • Choose the right time of the day. Don’t go to the beach at noon – there will be too much sunlight, and you’re risking to get the faded and overexposed photos. Plus, you’d have to squint and hide under the hat – it’s sad, when you don’t have a space to maneuver with what photos you’re able to take.  Professional photographers choose early mornings or sunsets for shooting , then the photos turn out to be just stunning, and the model feels most comfortable while doing the shoot. At the same time,  the sun should not be behind the model’s back , so that the picture does not turn out dark.

  • Use various accessories, take a whole bag filled with those on the beach and try them out. Wide-brimmed hats, pareos, massive bracelets, glasses, bags.Try to take some pictures in tunics, knitted beach dresses, intricately tied pareos – there are a lot of ideas, use your imagination and the whole capacity of your wardrobe.

  • Try this hack and to enhance its effect buy real Instagram followers (trust us, it will give you a huge increase in your IG audience): try subject photography. It has long been an Instagram trend, and beach variations are particularly successful – people often take such photos to use them as a screensaver on their phone or laptop. It’s not as easy to arrange your things beautifully and aesthetically as it seems at first glance. To do this, first of all, we need a lot of observation. Then it will be easier to make a beautiful picture of the mess hidden in the bag.

  • Take your bed to the beach. Well, literally: take a mattress, some pillows and a blanket with white sheets to the seashore and place them near the water. We’d recommend doing such a photoshoot at dusk, so that you won’t get interrupted by other visitors of the beach and will get the best light possible. This is also a trend now, looks like a miracle and gathers tons of likes and comments.

  • Play with the shadows. Usually photographers do not really like the bright sun, preferring a softer light – it is easier to cope with it and there is less hassle with overexposure, etc. But you can turn a disadvantage into an advantage – use the midday sun to get a beautiful saturated shade.

  • Take a photo out of your room’s window, out of the car, the train, whatever. You can use the long range mirrors of the car to create an interesting composition – and yes, this is also a big trend that has been going around IG for quite some time. You can fantasize here as you want, adding new objects to the composition and coming up with new angles and plots for your photos.

  • We have talked about taking a bed to the beach, but if you’re not that extreme, you can simply go for a nice picnic. To meet the sunset at sea by having a small picnic on the beach is a special aesthetic pleasure, which you can not deprive yourself of in any way. Make sure to take some photos and take some champagne with you, to make a shot more elegant and your evening more pleasant. 

All of the tips and tricks that we have given will help you to bring a whole lotta photos from your vacay on Virginia Beach and surprise your Instagram audience, friends and family with them!
