Are you ready to take your photography to the next level? It begins with the fundamentals of composition, but there are some simple techniques you can use to take better photos and turn ordinary images into extraordinary photographs. Discover seven tips to help you take better photos that you can put into practice today.
1. How To Compose Great Photos
Great photos start with great composition: how you frame the shot and where you position different elements within the scene. If you learn how to properly compose your photos, you’ll be well on your way to taking great pictures.
Photography is an art, so there are times when you just see the image and capture it based on feel. More often than not, however, selecting a subject and applying the Rule of Thirds principle will improve your photos. Rule of Thirds is where you position your subject or horizon off-center rather than in the middle of the frame.
Consider drawing attention to your subject with how you “frame” an image. That doesn’t mean creating a graphical frame around your photo with your favorite editing app. Rather, find something within the scene that you can surround your subject or focal point with. Place your subject within certain boundaries using anything and everything available to you. You can get really creative with this.
For example, you could use something in the foreground. It could be a doorway, a window, or a fence — or parts of any of these. It could be something from nature, like trees, including their limbs and leaves. You can even frame a portrait, having your subject use their hands, arms, even their legs if they’re flexible enough.
