5-Minute Insta Styling for Your Life
The Simple Styling and Photography Process to Transform
Your Daily Life into Shareworthy Images
5-Minute Insta Styling for Your Life is a video lesson for you to learn my simple method to style your everyday without all the fancy *stuff* and create simple but beautiful images of your life...
Stop wishing for something more or different about your life, your home, your spaces, your things...
... and embrace it.
Have you ever:
Asked yourself “Why doesn’t this picture of my morning coffee look good?” or “Why does my stuff always look messy? Is my life not pretty enough to share?”
… or felt a little jealous that other people had such pretty things or spaces in their homes?
… or perhaps wanted to share a photo of your life on Instagram, which is supposed to be easy and fun, but instead found it pull-your-hair-out annoying and couldn’t for the life of you, make it look good?
… or maybe wanted to share a photo of your home but thought you couldn’t because your stuff isn’t pretty or cool or even branded?
… or just cringed at the thought of sharing a photo of your home? (So you find yourself looking to rent studio spaces to take some on-brand photos to share about your life “authentically” only to realize there’s something inherently wrong there...)
What if you could style your home (you know... your living space, workspace, bedroom…) without buying all the fancy things you *think* you need, but just with what you already have...
AND
… get you a bunch of Insta-worthy photos of this so you can share with your people without you cringing... simply using your phone camera?
You thought that having beautiful photos to share meant having beautiful things in your home.
Let's be honest:
It's not practical to buy new stuff just so you can post a pretty pic.
That's why I created a simple method for you to turn the natural imperfection and chaos of daily living into a set of elevated photos.
Introducing...
5-Minute Insta Styling for Your Life
5-Minute Insta Styling for Your Life is a video lesson for you to learn my simple method to style your everyday without all the fancy *stuff* and create simple but beautiful images of your life, simply using your phone camera.
OMG, I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS SANDRA!
I’m talking about styling for real people.
Now before we dig in, there’s something you need to understand.
You don’t need all the *stuff*.
You know… the fancy props, the expensive homeware, the high end furniture, a perfectly designed home…
You probably don’t believe me, but it’s true. I often arrive to a photoshoot with just some notes in my back pocket. There are people out there who want you to believe that you need to buy all of the things to have beautiful photos. It’s gotten ingrained into our minds, into our Pinterest boards, our pinned Instagram posts.
But the truth is that that’s just not true.
Learning this simple strategy will teach you how to use your eye and what you have around you to capture beautiful moments in your life.
Trust me when I say:
All you need is what you already have.
Because let’s face it, in real life we don’t always have all the stuff.
It’s not about creating picture perfect spaces to wow people but it has everything to do with embracing your natural imperfections and the chaos of daily living.
OMG, this is what I’ve been needing Sandra!
Here’s what you get with 5-Minute Insta Styling for Life
You’ll get immediate access to one video where I walk you through a real lived-in home where you’ll watch as I style and explain my process of capturing 4 simple scenes in the home, simply using your phone camera.
You’ll learn:
-
How I choose which objects are photo-worthy and which are best left out of frame
-
How to add depth (especially when you’re working with flat objects)
-
How to compose your shot (this trick will allow you to become a master of composition using only your phone)
-
How to capture photos using that are not only beautiful, but actually true to your life (so you can stop feeling like you’re planning your life around Instagram)
-
How to capture everything just on your phone, no pro-camera required!
Watch as I take you through my process of curating a simple scene of these four spaces in your home simply using what’s already there - you know, the stuff you have right in front of you on a daily basis but think it's not 'pretty' enough for photos.
Scene 1: The Coffee Table
Scene 2: The Sofa
Scene 3: The Bedside Table
Scene 4: The Workspace
When you work through all of this content, learn all the simple strategies that have allowed me to create beautiful photos that capture my daily life in an honest way that’s true to my life.
It’s time to realise that YOU are in control of what photos you create and show, and that doesn’t mean you have to have it Pinterest perfect - which is exactly what you’ll do with my simple formula.
Yes, I'm in Sandra!
It doesn’t need to be perfect to be picture-worthy.
You don’t need all the fancy props and other stuff for your photo to be picture-worthy.
It’s about incorporating what you already have with what season your life is in.
Hey there! I’m Sandra Chau, founder of The Visual Branding Strategy and creative director. I help people turn their brand, their lives, their stories into beautiful images.
And shhh—here’s a secret: Styling isn't one of those things you just have—or don't.
Back in my days as a lawyer, I used to think styling couldn't be taught.
I was a far-cry from what you're seeing now. No matter how much I spent on cool props or expensive things or used those "golden light" hours, things looked ... awkward.
So I studied. I studied some more. I learned patterns. I practiced constantly.
And I figured it out.
I learned to style.
I learned to create pretty visuals.
And I know this is something you can do too.
You just need the right person (ahem, me) to show you how.
