Autumn is here. Online you start seeing photos that has this special cozy, autumn alike feeling to them. In this post you will find a list of things/props with some examples I pulled from Pinterest that can be added to your photos to get that atmosphere in your own photos.
When I think about autumn style photos, I imagine a cozy evening at home (in Denmark we call it a hyggeaften), where you sit by a fireplace or fire up some candles. You hear fire crackling and feel the warmth of it. You are wrapped in your favourite blanket, holding a warm beverage filled with some spices that warm you up from the inside. Maybe you are spending this evening with a friend, a loved one or with a book. It doesn’t matter, what matters is the feeling of coziness. This is the mood you could try to go for when composing the autumn style photos.
There is no denying that most of the photos are created using warm colours (yellow, orange, red, and brown). You can do it in a multiple ways, such as:
- use objects of those colours – see the examples below
- post-produce/add filters to the photo emphasises those colours
- take photos during the golden hour
Let’s take a look at the objects you could add to your photos to give them the autumn feeling. If you want to try, gather some of them and surround the thing(s) you want to photograph. You could present how a product you created looks in an autumn surroundings. Or maybe show your followers on Instagram how you are spending your evenings those days. The opportunities are endless.
