I hadn’t been taking many pictures in this way before until very recently, when I started to want to feature more than one book at a time, without using a traditional book-stack photo style.

The dual covers picture style is semi-new to me. I always use portrait mode when taking these pictures, and focus it on the book the best I can. It is obvious to see exactly which book you are highlight and featuring on your account. These photos always get a great amount of interactions, and they are very straight forward and to the point. Sometime I will add decorations or props next to the books if it fits the theme of the post, or sometimes I will place the book next to other specific books, so that you can see a particular book-spine. I love to angle the book on my bookshelves, and show the depth and size of my books. The most basic (and in my opinion, the most important) picture that I frequently post on my Bookstagram, is a photo of an individual book. You can also see some of the different types of photos I like to take, including individual books, book-stacks, and random bookshelf pictures. I never post two individual book pictures back-to-back, as I think this looks cleaner and more visually appealing. Right off the bat, you can see that I every other picture is some sort of a book stack or bookish thing, while the next picture is of an individual book. Upon looking at my Bookstagram, you probably notice a few different patterns and types of posts that I frequently take. It is important to mention that ALL of my pictures are taken on my iPhone 8 Plus, and are usually taken in portrait mode. In this first post, I will be sharing with you my favourite types of pictures to take and post on my Bookstagram account.
