WE TRY... A lesson in Instagram Styling your Christmas table Christmas: it’s the most instagrammable time of the year. But I often find myself scrolling through other people’s feeds, wondering how they’ve managed to achieve picture after picture of festive perfection. What are they doing to make their photos look so good? To find out, I’ve asked Emma Harris, a local photographer and blogger (aquietstyle.co.uk), to come in and give the Viva team a few tips on getting the perfect shots of our Christmas table settings. It’s a particularly big ask, because we have limited festive props available (it’s only early November) and the fluorescent lighting and wood-effect surfaces of the Viva Brighton office are not exactly the ideal cosylifestyle-shot conditions. We each bring in whatever decorations we can dig up at home and assemble our contributions in a heap on one of the desks, awaiting Emma’s arrival. She walks in and is surprisingly unfazed by the task at hand. She spreads out a tablecloth one of us has brought in across a desk and starts work on a centrepiece, comprising a couple of branches of foliage I picked up at the florist this morning. She lays the greenery in a garland across the middle of the table, placing three candlesticks in between the branches. Looking for a bit of colour, she spots a bag of easy peelers on a shelf and these become a part of the display, along with a couple of apples and an oddly shaped pear. She lays one place at the table, and our first ‘look’ is complete. Then we begin photographing. “It’s always best to shoot in natural light,” Emma says, switching off the lights. “If you’re photographing from above, you want to make sure your phone is flat,” she explains, demonstrating, before we all join in. The same rule applies for shooting straight-on: the phone should be at 90° to the table to get the best results. As we all snap away she offers lots of helpful advice: negative space – leaving room around the object of focus (in this case the plate) – can make for a much more visually pleasing picture. She teaches us about the ‘rule of thirds’, and about using filters wisely. By the end of the hour we each have a gallery of staged Christmas pics and (some of us more than others) are ready to get started on the real thing. Just a few more weeks to go… Rebecca Cunningham On December 4th, Emma is running a Styling with Botanicals workshop with AS Apothecary. Spaces are limited.
