Quality is key when it comes to being successful as an influencer. Your content should not only be engaging and entertaining but also look professional. Here we show you how to create the perfect content:

1. Pay attention to lighting conditions

   The right lighting is crucial for high-quality shots.

   
   

   Use natural light: Daylight provides the best results. Stand near a window or outside to benefit from natural light.

   Softboxes and ring lights: If you are working indoors, softboxes or ring lights can help create even and flattering lighting.

   Avoid harsh shadows: Make sure no distracting shadows fall on your subject.

   
   

   Experiment with different light sources and settings to discover what best suits your style.

   
   

   
   

2. Clear sound 

   Good sound is just as important as good visuals. Here are some ways to ensure clear and engaging audio:

   
   

   Voiceover: If you are adding audio to your content, make sure to speak clearly and with appropriate emphasis.

   Subtitles: Add subtitles so that your content is understandable even without sound.

   Microphone: Many influencers now use small mini microphones, whether for street interviews or recording at home alone.

   
   

   
   

3. Image format and framing 

   The right composition is essential for aesthetically pleasing images and videos:

   
   

   Golden ratio: Divide the image into thirds and place key elements at the intersections to achieve a balanced composition.

   Take up most of the image: Your main subject should dominate the frame. Avoid unnecessary distractions.

   
   

   Use the grid in your camera app to make it easier to apply the golden ratio.

   
   

   
   

4. Steady camera work

   Shaky footage can diminish the quality of your content. 

   
   

   Tripod: Use a tripod to ensure steady shots.

   Slow down movements: If you are making movements in your videos, try to perform them smoothly and controlled.

   
   

5. Image quality

   High-resolution images and videos are a must. Make sure to use the highest available quality setting for your camera or smartphone camera. Regularly check that your camera settings are set to the highest image quality.

   Communication: If there are any doubts or questions, do not hesitate to contact the brand.
