TIP! Photographers will often focus so much on the background that the foreground is completely forgotten or an afterthought, but it makes up the bulk of the photograph and deserves a fair amount of attention. Compose the foreground of your shot to create a more striking frame and increase the appearance of depth.

Make sure you know exactly what is going into each photograph. A great image is a venue that illustrates a particular trait or feature of the subject you shoot. Try not to show too much. To create a general impression of an object, shoot a series of photos, instead of a single detail oriented photo.

TIP! Keep in mind how intimidating it can be to have all eyes focused on you as a model, so help your model to feel comfortable with you by creating a relaxed atmosphere. Many people feel threatened when a stranger starts photographing them.

TIP! Limit yourself to ensure that each photograph you take is creative. For instance, you can base a whole set of pictures around a specific subject.

Take notes when taking pictures. It’s good to have a context for when and where a certain photograph was taken. Use a notepad to write down photo descriptions as well as the file name or number of the photo.

TIP! Read the manual for your camera. The manual is often a big, thick bulky brick.

When shooting a subject, zoom in so that they fill the whole viewfinder. Terribly far away shots prevent the viewer from seeing clear colors and details. Make it easy for yourself and your viewers to see a subject clear and vividly.

You can move the subject around so that you can find a shot you find interesting. Take your photos from all different angles to get different effects.

TIP! Use special care when you are taking pictures in nature. Do not forget to enjoy the scenery, and be wary of leaving any trace of your presence.

Balance is prized in most endeavors, and there is a natural tendency to prioritize what lies at the center of an image. Perfection is highly regarded in society, but to create shots full of drama, point your camera at your subject in a manner that positions them slightly off of center. Some cameras automatically focus on whatever appears in the middle of the field of view; disable such features in order to take off-center pictures. Use manual focus instead, and lock your focus before snapping the picture.

TIP! Think of an idea before you start taking photos. Put some thought into it, and brainstorm about potential points of view, backgrounds or concepts.

Pay attention to natural lighting! Choose a time when the sun remains lower in the sky, such as the morning or the afternoon. When the sun goes high in the sky, there can be undesirable shadows cast and the subject may squint because of the harsh light. Use the sunlight better by properly positioning yourself where your subject just gets light from the side.

TIP! A sense of power can be imparted to your subject by shooting from a low level pointing upwards. If you want your subject to appear weaker, shoot the photo from above.

You might now view photography as a simple hobby, but you can easily elevate it to an artform. You can use your photography skills to create artistic images and capture special moments in time. Try using these tips and hints and always remember to practice.
