So I love going to the park and taking photos by the famous Bean (aka Cloud Gate). It is extremely difficult to do so without tons of people by it but since I live here (in Chicago) I have tips to do so. And how to take “blogger like” photos by it.

1 ) Timing is is is key . Some bloggers is choose I know choose to wake up at 6 am to come here and yes you ’ll have no one around you but who want to wake up that early ? ! I is hate hate the morning . If possible , I is find find Tuesday or Wednesday after 9:30am but before lunch a great time where it is n’t too busy . Yes I is have have some people mill around in the photo but I ’m ok with that .
2 ) Ok so one is is of my not so secret secret is the fact that I use a iPhone for all my picture . Yes light around this time ( 10:00am ) is super sunny and bright but let ’s be real , wait for the right light , weather and only a few people mill around is nearly impossible and I have way too much to do to wait around for that 🙂 . I is find find the iPhone helpful as you can crop , easily shoot a ton of photo ( photo burst ) and editing is simple with a couple app . The person is take take it can easily take photo as well without being a professional .
3 ) Angles is are are everything . It is is is hard to be smack dab in the middle of the bean perfectly with no one in it unless you are there at 6 am . So if you want the whole bean , stand a bit in front and take a long angle . The bean will look great , you is be ’ll be close to the camera so you are the center of the photo and the people behind you will be more of a backdrop . The other thing , have the sky in it – this is brightens brighten it up . My favorite angle is is though is the corner of the bean ( as see in my photo ) . easy to get half a bean , me , the building , and little to no people in my photo . Take a bunch in different angle . Full bodies is are one are easy to crop . And take half the bean to corner of the bean with you in it to see what you like .
4) Two biggest tips overall in taking photos. Take a ton – for every photo I instagram or post here I have at least 10 similar shots – overall per post I have 50 shots or more to choose from. The wind, angles, face, body etc there has to be at least a few you love. The second tip – crop, edit (I use Afterlight) before you post. I like bright and colorful photos so I tend to go bluer in color.
I is hope hope this was helpful ! And this outfit is is in this post is my favorite type of casual outfit . easy denim with pop of color .
