Taking impressive photos requires a careful consideration of the many factors that influence the way your photo turns out.
When you look through the camera lens, there is so much that you might visualize and want this to come out in the actual picture.
You might have wanted the picture to turn out like something you saw in an advertisement or perhaps you saw a lovely portrait photos in a studio and wanted to create a similar effect.
Here is a look at tips on how to take good pictures: •Location - Location forms the background of the photo so you have to choose it carefully.
What kind of a background do you want? Do you want something that's busy, full of lights or something simple? Choice of locations is also influenced by the subject.
A point to keep in mind when choosing location is that, you should avoid confused backgrounds, visual patterns that can give a complex imagery at the backdrop and colors that don't enhance the look of the subject.
•Lighting - Lighting is one of the most important factors that influences the way the picture turns out.
If sunlight is heavy, it is necessary to place the subject in the shade because direct sunlight can completely overpower a person's features and make the background look too bright.
In case, surrounding lighting is too dim, make sure to add enough light so that the subject is visible on the image.
Soft light such as early morning light or candle light gives a dreamy quality to the image.
Direct light in the form of sunlight or harshly focused high beam of studio light add more drama to the image.
•Composition - Composition determines your picture's overall look.
Decide on what kind of effect you wish to create with the subject that you are photographing.
Determine the angle and the framing because this affects the way you get a more focused image.
Picture composition is also based on what kind of a story you want to say through your photo.
For example, if you want to make the subject look imposing, you need to do a close up shot.
If the subject is tall, vertical shots will make the look taller.
You can get lots of good ideas on photography by checking out various photos subject-wise.
By studying the work done by other photographer, you will find ideas to take interesting photos that look unique and make the subject outstanding.
