Guy Tang Mydentity Artist Reveals How to Create the Perfect Instagram Photo

Styling goes a long way in creating the perfect social media imageIn a world saturated with social media, every client wants #instagood looks—and no hairstylist’s work is complete without snapping the perfect shot to share with their digital audience. To capture the ideal photo for your social feeds, Kim Pham (@kimwasabi),
@Guy_Tang #mydentity global artist (@guytang_mydentity), recommends always capturing an ultra-clear image. “Use a white background,” says Pham. “Make sure the model or client is wearing either simple, black or white clothing. Also, make sure the hair is smooth, polished and has no flyaways." Pay attention to lighting too, says Pham. "The right lighting is very important for your IG photos. In most cases natural light is best, but in my photos featured here, I used an LED ring light.” Here, Pham dishes on how she achieved both the color and style for this well-liked ’do.
