Find your best light

    Head outdoors and have a blast shooting your portraits, utilizing the rays of the sun to achieve that flawless beauty shot. Pro tip: maximize the golden hour which offers a natural filter!

    Serve your best angle

      Practicing your poses is a simple but effective trick. Highlight your most flattering features and showcase them effectively while posing for photos. 

      Which is better, your left side or your right side? Try experimenting with different camera angles by positioning it slightly higher for a rather slimming look.

      Mastering your poses can be a lengthy process, no doubt! But the vivo Y18’s 5000mAh all-day battery & 15W fast charging keeps you going the whole way.

      Give depth to your portraits

        Zooming in too closely can result in a grainy and pixelated picture! Instead, position yourself closer to the subject to achieve a higher-quality image.

        With vivo Y18’s 50MP HD Camera, users are able to achieve studio-level portraits, without the steep price tag! 

        Tap on ‘Portrait’ mode to make your subject appear sharper and more detailed, similar to that of a DSLR.

        This is perfect for those wanting a new standout photo or fresh content for their feed updates!

        The vivo Y18 is available at vivo concept stores and kiosks nationwide for as low as Php 6,499. It comes in two stylish colors: Mocha Brown and Wave Acqua. For added convenience, you can also purchase it online through the vivo website, Shopee, TikTok, and Lazada
