THE TIP BOOK

HT : Take Pics Like A Tumblr Girl

+Develop Your Style - don't copy other tumblr girl's style. you won't get as many followers if you copy!
 
+Don't Worry About Brands - tumblr girls aren't made of designer brands. they prefer the thrifty, vintage look.
 
+Be Eclectic - Tumblr girls are known for the way they mix and match elements from different aesthetics, sometimes in counter-intuitive and purposefully clashing ways. Don't be afraid to take inspiration from a variety of style genres, from hip-hop to hipster, retro to runway.
 
+Shop Boutiques and Thrift Stores - Wear clothes and accessories that aren't going to be in every girl's closet. Going thrift-shopping can help you find some great unique pieces—and usually on the cheap. Many Tumblr girls have a touch or more of retro to their look for this reason. Small boutiques can also offer designs that will set you apart from the standard mall crawler.
 
+Adopt Trends Early or Start Your Own - Tumblr girls exist on the bleeding edge of fashion. Keep an eye on what other style icons and Tumblr girls are wearing and try to incorporate fresh elements into your own looks—without seeming like a copycat. Once in a while try something unorthodox and daring. If you have enough followers it might just catch on.
 
+Let Your Style Range From Casual to Formal, From The Beach to The Snow - Don't just show off your summer party dresses, Tumblr girls have great looks for every occasion and season. Learn how to look stylish and unique even in snow boots and big winter coats, or a simple bikini
 
+Start With Some Tumblr Girl Staples - Tumblr girls, in theory, are each unique and fresh, but there are some elements that tend to be particularly popular. Start with these to mark yourself in the Tumblr girl crowd, and then branch out with your own unique variations. Some oft-cited items in the Tumblr girl look include:
-High-Waisted Shorts or Pants
-Over-sized Tank-Tops
-Plaid Shirts
-Sleeveless button-downs
-Shirts with fringe
-Crop tops
-TOMS or Converse
-Thick-rimmed Glasses
 
+Get the Make-up Right - Every girl is different, but Tumblr girls usually look like they are wearing very minimal makeup—nude lips, especially. This gives the impression that they are normal, casual, relaxed people just having fun, and confident in themselves and how they look.[2]
The exception is the eyes. Tumblr girls tend to have very prominent eyes, which means eyeliner and plenty of mascara—sometimes fake eyelashes, but not noticeably fake.
Don't be afraid to change it up. Once you develop a baseline natural look, you can make a photo pop with bright lipstick.
 
+Find A Fun and Unique Style - There is no one hair style that all Tumblr girls have. They can be blonde, brunette or redhead. Their hair can be short or very long. It does have to look styled, however.
Change your hair frequently. One of the secrets to keeping your look fresh and appealing to a wide audience on Tumblr is to change your hair style a lot. Do something new every few months, either changing the color, letting it grow out, cropping it short, or buzzing it on a side. Changing your hair will make your old outfits seem new.
If you have longer, hair, style it in different ways. The messy bun is a Tumblr classic, as are hair bows. Try curling it, wearing it to the side, putting it in pig-tails.
If you do prefer to cultivate a single hairstyle without changing it up, let it evolve and refine over time. Don't stay static.
 
+Cultivate Your Environment - Once you've got your own look down, your work isn't finished. Tumblr girls always seem to take their pictures in beautiful, photogenic places. Make sure your room and house are decorated in a fun, eclectic way that matches your style and personality. Find photogenic places outside around your neighborhood or town that you can go to take your photos. Natural lighting is very important to a lot of Tumblr girl photography, so make sure the outside places you go compliment your style as well.
 
+Get a Good Camera and Equipment - Successful Tumblr girls do a little more than just camera-phone selfies. Buy a decent DSLR camera and a tripod and learn how to use them well.
Consider investing in some professional camera lighting. If you are going to be taking some of your photos inside, having better lighting can make all the difference.
 
+Take Cool Photographs - This is the essence of being a Tumblr girl. Your photos need to be cute and flawless, but at the same time look like you have a semi-normal and accessible life.
Use natural light. Go outside or find a sunny room in your house to take your photos. You can take some inside shots too, but don't ever use light that is going to blow out your complexion unless you can correct it in Photoshop.
Find unique settings. It isn't just the outfits that make them so popular: Tumblr girls always seem to be out and about in interesting places. Check out the most photogenic places in town, from parks to old buildings, from graffiti-covered train tracks to your friend's pool. Even just a wooden fence or a brick wall can make a photo pop.
Try different poses. Don't just stand there: mix it up with smiles, grins, glares, dance moves, gang signs, and so on.
Bring in other characters. If you have friends who want to get in on the Tumblr style action, let them join you in some of your photos. Involve your pets, too. Nothing says "Tumblr" like a cute girl in a cute dress with a cute dog.
 
+Edit Your Pictures With PhotoShop - There's no getting around it: the proper application of Photoshop, or occasionally some other photo-editing software, will improve your photos and let you touch up your own skin and features to achieve that flawless Tumblr girl look. Tumblr girls never seem to have red-eye in their photos, do they? That's because they use Photoshop. Just be careful: when used poorly it will be painfully obvious that your pictures are Photoshopped.
Try different filters to make your photos look more scenic. Filters have become very popular recently with the explosion of services like Instagram. Play around with retro looks, especially for outside shots. Just don't go overboard! The filters can't make up for mediocre style or photography.
 
+Create a Tumblr - You have your style, and some great photos. It's time to show the world! Go to Tumblr.com and start a new account. Then work to make your page unique and expressive of your persona.
Give it a memorable and catchy name, or just use your own name if it is easy enough to remember.
Chose a theme. Find one that matches your style, if you can, but picking something fairly minimal will let your content take center-stage. Choose one that showcases photos, not text, such as one of the three-columned themes that lets you scroll infinitely without having to click on to a new page.
Customize your theme. Add a logo and change up the colors or fonts if you like.
Add music. Some people will find this annoying, but it can really set the a tone for your photos, especially if you pick a song that most people don't know.
 
+Follow Other Users and Interact With Them - The best way to get followers on Tumblr is to be active and engaging with other people. Find other users whose style or photos you like and follow them, re-blog their pictures, favorite their posts, and ask them questions. You'll be surprised how many followers you'll get without having to promote your blog off Tumblr at all.
 
+Promote Your Tumblr - Twitter, Facebook and Instagram are all good places to crosspost your content. Build followings on these networks to drive new people to your blog.
