If I got a dollar for every time someone asked me how I edit my pictures, I’d be so rich. Guys, I’d be competing with Jeff Bezos. To be honest, I’ve come a long way when it comes to taking book photos and editing them but I still have a long way to go and I’m learning every day. In this post, I’ll be sharing a detailed breakdown of the process.

How I edit my Bookstagram pictures.
- Download the VSCO app
Right after taking my picture in a well-lit environment using my iPhone 11, I download the VSCO app.
- Decide on whether I want to join the membership.
I use the free option because it has everything I need but the paid option comes with more filters and is N3,500/Month.
- Click on the M5 Filter
I use the M5 filter because it gives me the warm effect I love. Right after choosing the filter, the real editing begins.

EXPOSURE -3
CONTRAST +1
SHARPEN +1
CLARITY +1
SATURATION +1
TONE – HIGHLIGHTS +6 , SHADOWS +2

If you want the pictures to look grainy or faded, you can edit them accordingly.
AND VOILA! MY PICTURE IS READY FOR POSTING.
There you have it. I’m thinking of changing my Bookstagram aesthetic next year but for now, enjoy the warmth and cozy vibe!
