Who says hitting the beach is only for the summer? Team Payaman’s Aki Angulo-Macacua proves you can post amazing beach pictures all year long.
For her, taking a great photo comes down to three simple things: confidence, good angles, and catching the right moment.
Aki’s Instagram feed is full of effortless, picture-perfect ideas. Here are four easy beach poses you can steal for your next trip.
The Boat-Deck Lounger
Lie down on a boat’s mesh net, lean up on one elbow, and stretch your legs out at a slight angle. It creates long, flattering lines, shows off the bright blue water under you, and looks completely relaxed.
The Candid Hair-Tuck
Stand sideways to the camera with the ocean behind you. Look away from the lens while gently fixing or lifting your hair. It feels natural and unposed while highlighting your shape against the water.
The Sunset Kneel
Kneel in shallow water right as the sun goes down and the waves roll in. Look off to the side instead of at the camera. It catches the golden sunlight and lets the beautiful sunset sky take center stage.
The Direct Reach
Face the camera directly and reach one hand out toward the lens. Reaching toward the camera brings the photo to life, adding a fun and playful touch to cozy, low-light beach shots.
