Photography Tips
1. Figures should look into not out of the picture.
2. Give your fast-moving objects space in front of them so the object in motion
has somewhere to go.
3. Most colorful, lightest or brightest elements of your picture are the ones
considered the most important by viewers.
4. Your photo should have one main point of interest. A secondary subject may
be used but be sure it doesn’t distract from your main subject.
5. Avoid putting your center of interest in the center of your photo.
6. Don’t clutter your photo, especially the background, with objects that
distract from your main subject.
7. Objects in your picture, like fences, hills, tress, create visual lead lines. Use
them to direct the feeling of motion in your photos.
8. A good camera angle can give your photo a strong point of view.
9. Divide your photos into 1/3 image areas and place the main subject in one of
the areas instead of in the center of the photo.
