She is also the founder of <\/em>Stories on Style, a fashion-focused Substack.<\/em><\/p>\n Whether you are shooting outfit photos for Instagram, filming haul videos for TikTok or capturing multiple details from a street style look, fashion content has come a long way from the quick snaps and heavy filters of the past. Today, creating standout fashion content is about knowing how to combine creative instinct with the right tools. But with high spec phone camera features and AI powered tech, there are plenty of simple, in-built ways to make your fashion content look sharper, smoother and more professional. <\/p>\n London-based creator Belinda Ingrid is known for her bold use of colour, texture and composition, capturing everything from full outfit shots to close-up details. Using her phone as an all-in-one creative tool, she shoots, edits and shares content on the go, without extra equipment. We spoke to Belinda about the techniques she uses to elevate her fashion content \u2013 from styling and shooting to location, lighting and detail \u2013 and how the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra helps her create the diverse, directional content that\u2019s signature to her feed.<\/p>\n Details matter in fashion, from fabric texture to accessories. High-resolution cameras and optical zoom make it easier to capture those elements without compromising quality.<\/p>\n \u201cI use Zoom to sort of capture those details,\u201d Belinda says. \u201cYou can’t always see all your details in a full body, normal lens. So it’s quite nice to use zoom to really enhance those textures.\u201d<\/p>\n The Galaxy S26 Ultra\u2019s 200MP main camera keeps details sharp and true to colour, while 10x optical-quality zoom allows creators to isolate textures and accessories, even from a distance.<\/p>\n \u201cUsing Zoom can make an interesting composition on its own \u2013 it feels like something I\u2019d normally crop after I’ve taken a photo,\u201d she says. Zooming in-camera allows for a focus on specific details or a way to create shapes in the moment, while keeping everything crisp and high quality.<\/p>\n Low-light photography has traditionally been a limitation for mobile creators. \u201cIn the past it’s been quite hard to shoot at night \u2013 you have to lean into using Flash, which isn’t really something I like doing,\u201d Belinda says, \u201cit\u2019s quite a specific style which doesn\u2019t really fit with my feed\u201d.<\/p>\n As Belinda notes, using flash can often make fashion content look flatter and less natural, as it can wash out skin tones, bleach the colour from clothing and accessories, and reduce the texture and detail that is so important to fashion photography. It can also create unwanted shine and harder shadows, making images look less professional.<\/p>\n With Nightography mode and video*, evening content becomes far more accessible, allowing creators like Belinda to capture brighter, sharper images and clearer video with improved detail, texture and colour accuracy, even in low light. \u201cThe photo taken using Nightography mode* was way brighter, and much more clear. I could see my make-up clearer \u2013 I can see that the tones were red in my lips and my blush.\u201d <\/p>\n Video is central to fashion content, but without stabilisation, even the best ideas can fall a little flat. To create high-quality video, Belinda says \u201cI make sure that if I’m walking, the camera is held and stabilized. \u201cIt needs to be really polished and not feel too shaky.\u201d<\/p>\n The Galaxy S26 Ultra\u2019s AI-powered Super Steady Video** uses real-time gyro and accelerometer data to detect movement and automatically correct the horizon, helping keep footage level and smooth even when shooting handheld. \u201cI forgot my tripod at home, so I used it to capture a street style element,\u201d she says, highlighting how effective it is for capturing stable, polished clips on the go.<\/p>\n Tools like Audio Eraser\u2020 also help refine video further by using AI to identify and adjust different types of sound \u2013 such as voices, wind or background noise \u2013 allowing creators to reduce distractions and keep the focus on the subject.<\/p>\n Selfies remain at the core of fashion content with a recent shift towards a more natural look. \u201cGood lighting is key,\u201d Belinda says. \u201cThe best thing that you can do is have good lighting, as well as playful poses too.\u201d<\/p>\n The Galaxy S26 Ultra\u2019s front-facing camera, powered by its Advanced Selfie AI processor, enhances fine details like hair and skin texture while maintaining a natural finish, with options to adjust angles, tones and subtle effects for more controlled yet true-to-life results.<\/p>\n \u201cI feel like more and more creators have gotten more creative with their Instagram,\u201d says Belinda. Built-in tools like Creative Studio\u2021 allow for layering, remixing and experimenting with visuals directly within your gallery.<\/p>\n \u201cThis Creative Studio\u2021 can come in really, really handy,\u201d she says. \u201cI don’t have to use a bunch of stuff \u2013 I can just do all of it on one device.\u201d<\/p>\n This opens up new ways to present fashion content \u2013 whether through collage-style layouts, mixed perspectives or combining detail shots with full looks.<\/p>\n Creating fashion content isn\u2019t just about taking photos, of course, it also involves organising, tagging and sharing efficiently.<\/p>\n \u201cCircle to Search\u00a7 is really helpful,\u201d Belinda says, \u201cbecause I can\u2019t always remember where items are from,\u201d referring to the useful function that can help identify or confirm outfit details in a matter of moments. \u201cIt gives people a close reference.\u201d<\/p>\n Features like Privacy Display\u2761 also make it easy to work in public spaces by reducing screen visibility from side angles. \u201cIt\u2019s just nice to have that privacy to edit my photos,\u201d says Belinda.<\/p>\n Battery life is often overlooked, but it can shape an entire shoot day. \u201cThat was super important. I’ve had times when my battery has died and I feel like I’ve died,\u201d Belinda laughs. \u201cYou just want to continue \u2013 you don’t necessarily want to stop to charge your device.\u201d With the Galaxy S26 Ultra\u2019s long-lasting 5,000mAh\u2020\u2020 battery, creators can stay in that flow.<\/p>\n For Belinda, the most impactful tools are those that combine creativity with competence. \u201cI feel like the Creative Studio\u2021 makes a massive difference,\u201d she says, \u201cand also the Zoom feature, because details are so important.\u201d<\/p>\n Ultimately, that attention to detail is what elevates content. \u201cIf people almost feel like they can touch it \u2013 that’s the intention.\u201d<\/p>\n Find out more about the Samsung Galaxy S26 series and Galaxy S26 Ultra camera and AI features at <\/strong>Samsung<\/strong><\/p>\n *Results may vary depending on light condition, subject and\/or shooting conditions.<\/p>\n **Super Steady results may vary depending on editing method and\/or shooting conditions.<\/p>\n \u2020Samsung account login required.
