"Tips to Improve your AR+ Photos from a Professional Photographer!"

#PokemonGO: Hello! I am a professional Photographer and I want to share 6 tips that can help you dramatically improve your AR+ Photos!This guide is also handy since Niantic is currently hosting a Go Snapshot Habitat Challenge, and this is perfect for that.I also made a video about this topic, since it is much better for me to show you, rather than tell you.Use your Environment! A lot of people that I see posting AR+ Photos in Instagram is that they choose a random Pokémon and just shoot wherever they are. You should choose a specific Pokémon in its own specific environment, like Water Pokémon in Beach areas, Bug types in Flowery Fields, etcChoose different angles! Usually people just shoot a photo of a Pokémon head on, but one should first decide if the photo should be in Portrait or Landscape Mode, and then go around the Pokémon, shoot it on its side or in the back, go close or go far, whatever the scene needs.Know the Actions of your Pokémon During AR+ Mode, you can tap the Pokémon and it will move. Sometimes the Pokémon’s Actions are cute and sometimes it doesn’t really fit the scene, so make sure that their animations are perfect for the scene, not just because you want your Pokémon to do something.Use your Shiny Pokémon! Shinies are rare and if you have a Shiny for the Pokémon that you’re shooting, make sure you use it!Check the Focus I’m using an iPhone XR but for some reason, it goes out of focus now and then, and it really ruins the Photo if you shoot it out of focus (or maybe you can use it to your advantage and make it look like a Bokeh Effect)Be Patient! Sometimes there people in your shots, you should wait for them to leave the scene first. Maybe there’s a big wave or an amazing sunset, it would make your photo look amazing! And sometimes a Pokémon’s idle animations are better for the scene, instead of tapping on the Pokémon. Just use the right timing, and your photo would be perfect!If you guys are curious, here are my entries for the Habitat Challenge! I applied all of my tips in these Photos, check it out!
