Do want to take beautiful photos,
like, RIGHT NOW?
If Yes! open your camera let’s
do simple practical now.
Today I’m going to expose to you super-practical tips to make that first
happen. These are my suggestions that I’d give to someone who just picked up a
smart phone camera and wants some super rocking shots. BUT DON’T WORRY! Even if
you are more experienced with photography ideas. Ok lest start
1. GET CLOSER
For you to increase the impact of your subject images, you can immediately shoot your subject closer-up.
beginners mistake is to shoot everything from a few meters away, or more. It
can lead to some nice-looking boring photos.
Instead, get closer. Or Zoom, to
you subject. Even better: Try filling the full frame with whatever it’s you’re
trying to shoot. Don’t fear if a few parts of your subject body are cropped
out. You do not need to show the whole subject to get your story across!
“If your photographs are not good enough, then you’re not close
enough” – R. Capa
2. MOVE AROUND
Don’t just stand in place and don’t just shoot at operators eye level.
This is how viewers normally see a scene, which means that your photo can look
pretty boring. Find special
and interesting perspectives to take your subject from.
3. THE RULE OF THIRDS
Imagine your frame in this dimension (a 3×3 grid). Basically the rule of
thirds state that “your composition will
be more visually interesting if you
position your
Keep in mind that you don’t have to follow this rule of 3rd
strictly, it is just an option to explore! The main idea is trying
to get your subject out of the centre of the grid frame – which
automatic
4. TAKE A LOTS OF PHOTOS
Especially when photographing people, I almost always regret not
shooting more photos, Facial expressions change so rapidly, it can be so
difficult to capture a shot where your subject is looking at their best.
Even if you’re photographing people, the more you take your subject shot
(example moving around and getting close) the more photos you will take and the
better chance you have capturing that perfect pictures .
5. YOUR BACKGROUND IS
IMPORTANT
Some people easily forget that the stuff behind your subject also ends
up in the photo story. Take not of any distracting background elements you
can control or eliminate it.
Sometimes, like in the example picture, you might find a perfect clear
background that enhance your subject stand out.
Get in the skill of always scanning the background of your subject
before pressing the shutter.
6. Relate With Your Subject
Don’t just stand and say cheese. Your aim when taking photos of clients
is not to tell them exactly what to do in front of camera. Instead, you
should be trying to let them get relax
in front of the camera. Here they can be more comfortable, and you will get
better photos. There are a couple ways you can do this.
7. Take Your Time
I said take you time, don’t
rush things so that you will not miss out. Good photography takes a lot patience.
You need to pay good attention to the details, and explore more options. Photography
Creativity needs experimentation, and experimentation needs time. Enjoy your
time shooting, shooting and learning photography! It’s a fun, it’s life fulfilling
and engaging process. Start now
