Post a pic or it didn’t happen.

The power of photos and videos posted online is evident in entrepreneurship, too. Galaxy ambassadors and Sunnies founders Georgina Wilson, Jess Wilson, Martine Cajucom-Ho and Bea Soriano-Dee know these all too well. Their business empire Sunnies, with its lifestyle brands Sunnies Studios, Sunnies Specs, Sunnies Cafe and Sunnies Face, has been a massive hit online because of the imagery they so thoughtfully curated through creative and perfectly done photos and videos in all of their brands’ social media accounts. Be it eyeglasses, cosmetics or a lovely dining place to hang out at, the effortless cool branding of all Sunnies ventures has been widely successful– all thanks to the brilliant and creative executions of the empire’s photos and videos online.

Georgina, Jess, Martine and Bea share their tricks to further elevate one’s storytelling skills through mobile photography and videography online using the Galaxy S20 Series, along with other Galaxy ambassadors fashion photographer BJ Pascual and wedding filmmaker Jason Magbanua.

Here are some tips from the experts on how to maximize the features of the Galaxy S20 Series:

  1. Ensure sufficient lighting to get a clear shot. BJ suggested facing a window or waiting for the late afternoon shade. When shooting in dim lighting conditions, use the Galaxy S20’s Night Mode for bright and vivid color expression.

 2. Use the Galaxy S20’s ultra-wide-angle camera to emphasize the environment where the subject is. The standard wide is perfect for bringing the person forward to the frame the telephoto lens puts more focus on the model. BJ also likes playing with the camera’s distortion effect to make models look taller. The nearer the subject is to the edge of the frame, the more elongated it would look.

3. For mobile video recording, renowned wedding videographer Jason Magbanua recommended taking videos at home and experimenting with styles using the Galaxy S20 Series’s 4K video shooting format. The device can shoot with up to 8K resolution. Use the Live Focus feature to highlight the subject better. This camera function seamlessly isolates the model from the background and applies the ‘bokeh effect’ evenly.  This is a cat video recorded by Jason using the Live Focus Feature:

4. Magbanua also suggested using the enhanced Super Steady to get a stable clip of moving subjects.

5. For Instagrammable images, explore the Galaxy S20’s Pro Mode. The feature helps Georgina Wilson, Jess Wilson, Martine Cajucom-Ho, and Bea Soriano-Dee achieve the photo they envisioned since it allows them to freely adjust the camera’s ISO, shutter speed, exposure levels, and white balance settings. Another tip is to use filters to emphasize the mood of the photo and curate social media feed perfectly. They also suggest to explore photo processing apps like VCSO. However, the Galaxy S20 Series has pre-installed effects that users can play with. Take a look at these double tap-worthy photos that the ladies took themselves using the Galaxy S20’s Pro Mode feature:
