Reel IdeasVideo ideas for photography and editing
Ideas for photographers and phone photo lovers.
Photo videos should teach one idea at a time, such as light, angle or edit. Show the before and after, and the setting you used. Keep it short.
Show the same shot with and without your trick. The comparison is the lesson.

Making them work
Pick one idea, write a hook line and the three parts of the video (see reel structure), then film it in one go in good light. Post it with a clear caption, and check how it did after a few days. Keep an idea list so that you never start the week with a blank page.
Questions people ask
Do I need to follow the idea exactly?
No. Use it as a starting point and put your own place, product and voice into it. The same idea looks different when you do it.
How do I start a video?
Open with a hook. See our question hooks and promise hooks.
