Looking for Reels ideas for Photographers?
I’ve got 10 for you.
You can’t deny the making reels is kind of important to stay relevant at the moment. I mean, I wish that weren’t the case, but it is true.
Most of the reels that I’ve come across are in the genres dancing, singing, makeup and so on. Coming across a reel that’s for Photographers is a bit rare.
Worry not! I’ve made a list of 10 reels ideas for photographers that can be made on different audios, whichever is the trending audio at the time when you’re reading this blog post.
Let’s get to it.
Engaging Reels Ideas For Photographers
1. Before and after

This is the easiest kind of reel for photographers. Because you already have what you need on your phone. You just need an edited image and its original image.
Show off your editing skills by sharing the before and after of your best edits.
Remember to add the titles before and after on the respective images so that the viewer knows that they can expect the complete edited image in a few seconds.
And which song or audio should you use for this?
Any song or audio that has one major beat drop or music change in it works perfectly for this reel idea.
2. Show the setup and pictures

Behind the scenes reels perform well on Instagram because everyone wants a sneak peek into how you style and shoot the photos.
You can use the same kind of audios like in the previous idea of before and after. Make it more interesting by adding catchy transitions between images using a video editing app like VN.
3. Shoot a timelapse

Record your laptop screen while you’re editing and speed it up later on.
It is a reel that keeps the viewer hooked till the end because who wouldn’t want to see how the picture will look in the end?
It also shows how hard you work on each image that is delivered to your clients.
4. Are you an artist?

If you spend as much time as I spend scrolling through reels, you must have already comes across this audio ‘ So, you’re an artist? yeah! are you good? umm yess…
Use the video I linked above to find the audio and brag the photos you took. Start by creating your own video lipsycning to the audio or if you don’t want to show you face then you can simply add the dialoug in the form of a text on a photo.

Collect all of the behind the scenes clips you have and compile them for this reel idea for photographers. And if you don’t have many, I would suggest that you start taking some the next time you’re shooting.
If you shoot alone, you can take behind the scenes videos by placing your phone on a phone stand.
6. Testimonials

Take screenshots of all those times when your client loved your work and said that in an email or a text message. Remove the person’s name from the screenshot before using them in the video.
You can also type-out the positive feedback in the video but I personally feel a screenshot feels more authentic.
This reel will also build your credibility. Your potential clients will feel more confident reaching out to you by seeing the positive feedback you’ve received from your existing and past clients.
