Have you ever wanted to take a photo of your phone or laptop screen displaying your website or other cool content that you have created? But when you take the photo your laptop or phone screen just looks black?

The short answer for why this happens is that the frequncy which your screen displays images is different than the frequency at which your camera take pictures. The best way to work around this is to take the photo of your laptop or phone screen and then edit in the image of the screen content afterwards.

So, in this blog I have a little tutorial video to teach you how to do this. Once you’ve mastered that technique it will open up a new world of content options for you. You’ll be able to mix up you social media feeds with beautiful images of your products and services on screens in everyday life situations.

Sound good? Ok. lets get started.

For this tutorial you’ll need:

  1. A stock image of a screen

  2. An image / design to add to the screen

  3. Adobe photoshop
