While she is marking her presence in show business as this generation’s “Prime Gem”, Bianca Umali is also acing the posting and posing department on Instagram
Having a creative eye can materialize in many forms, and curated digital content is one of them. Nowadays, social media is serving as a place to market yourself and your business or even find your ingenious tribe. It is also a way to present a side of yours that some people might not know about you. Playing with your own Instagram feed is the game that a lot of us play, and that includes Bianca Umali.

We all know that GMA’s “Prime Gem” takes her acting craft seriously. But her artistic spirit goes beyond the screen. While her Instagram feed has bits and pieces of endorsements and teasers, it also has some of her personal shots.
From angles to lighting, there is so much we can learn from Bianca’s creativity in posting. MEGA rounds up these tips and tricks we can try on our own feed courtesy of the actress:
Legs for sunny days
A beach trip is a good excuse to snap new photos for your profile. Next time you’re in one, follow Bianca’s trick of shooting in a sideways angle to elongate your legs. The shape of the outdoor chaise parallels Bianca’s silhouette, adding more vertical lines in the frame.
Heightened mirror selfie
Most of the time, taking mirror selfies is limited to a straight perspective given the mirror’s position. But next time that you chance upon a parking or convenience store mirror situated in a higher angle, grab that chance and snap a quick photo! For extra height illusion, try and use the 0.5 camera technique.
Shade and shy
For days when you are not feeling that full face exposure on your feed, keep in mind this post from Bianca. Your body is your best accessory when it comes to posing, particularly your hands. This hand illusion is not just a shade to your whole face. It provides an added geometry to your photo.
Motion picture balance
A little blur and movement adds a candid and fluid feel to your feed. Still keeping her trademark angle play, Bianca posted a photo of her walking. While this is a stolen moment, you can still see the clear lines of her legs forming a triangular shape. Meanwhile, her background also had its own quadrilateral effect. Take notes from Bianca if you want a balanced composition.
Basic rule application
The rule of thirds is a technique used in both photos and videos for that dynamic emphasis on the subject. Setting the focal point away from the middle center, our eyes get to appreciate not just the subject but also the parts of the scene. This photo of Bianca is one of her best posts yet for utilizing this rule. Besides that, the shadow effect mirrors her body, forming a good contrast.
