BOOKSTAGRAM 101 | how I take and edit book photos, bts, + my favorite bookstagram accounts

Eep I’m so excited about today’s video!!! It is all about bookstagram. I share a step by step process of me taking a photo to me posting it on insta - how I take the photo, how I edit, how I plan my feed, etc. I also share some behind the scenes of me taking photos and a tutorial on how I edit covers onto my kindle photos! At the end I share my favorite bookstagram accounts that will be linked below :) I hope you enjoyed and that this was helpful!! #instagram #bookstagram #howieditmyinstagramphotos #booktube #booktuber

[@sarahhatch9235]

I've been scrolling your page while listening to this! I really love your page and how your photos look!! It's really inspirational, friend. I want to start a book account really just to have something TO DO! I have no expectations other than learning how to run social and keep reading!

[@tkshanholtz]

@@BethanyC May I ask how do you handle “questionable account” adds? And also the trains…do you participate there seemed to be a lot?

[@maviz34]

Can you suggest me some vedio and photo editing apps for my bookstagram

[@BethanyC]

For my photos I use Lightroom, but I know of some people who use vsco as well!! For video,
I use Final Cut Pro or the Instagram app for reels.

[@kniharna]

What’s with the phone case? 😭😂 also thank you for you tips, i have to learn how to make reels, i am disaster with videos 😅

[@BethanyC]

Hahaha I have since upgraded my phone and got a new case! You’re welcome!!!
