Models pose professionally when taking photos. So why doesn’t the bike pose?
Have you ever wondered why the photos you took with your new bike sometimes are not as good as those of a bike shooting ad or a professional event? The answer is the arrangement. It is similar to you wear a pair of shoes properly, wear all the right colors and wear a suitable outfit. With your bike, hold the handlebar back in the direction of 6 hours or 12 hours (usually the 6-hour direction will be more popular). You should turn the bike so that the disc, chain, and direction are on the lens. The chain should be located on the large and middle plate so that the chain is parallel to the ground. If you have a bottle of water and a bag, choose the one with the design and the color looks good with the bike.
Small details are often not noticed. But they contribute greatly. Friends who are knowledgeable about design and photography will appreciate you.
