PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS

I will tell you 5 tips to improve your photo game instantly

1. ANGLES:

No more hip shots or blind fire, we're gonna think about this. angles are huge, instead of just pulling out your phone or your camera and snapping the subjects, be it an object or a person at whatever's the easiest angle, just take 10 extra seconds and think about where could this look cool from? objects typically look really good or way better when they are taken from the waist level

So you're at the same perspective of the object or  just put a little thought into it may be just move around to the left or right when it meets to the perfect angle that you think it's gonna be the best, just some extra time to make sure you really like that snap? or think to yourself how can i make this look better than just snapping it for the sake of just snapping it? coz we all know, we get home, people compare photos and they always say Wow, yours looks a lot better than mine, why is that? because we thought about those angles, that number one.

2. SHOOT THROUGH SOMETHING

Instead of taking a shot, may be dangle something in front of the lens a little bit. may be if your taking outside a portrait instead of shooting the people in normal

because it gives you bokeh look and very nice out of focus elements, and after the editing we can ad extra growing to the photo if you do it inside the camera the pixels may damage the originality, shoot through the plants beneath to the people, essentially, shoot through anything put an object or compose that something should cover a bit in front of the lens and just finagle your way through so you can get better results through whatever it is that's blocking the lens, that adds a huge dynamic. it frames you shots in a really creative and interesting way, give that one a shot.

3. THINK OPPOSITE

Let's say where gonna go do a landscape shot, we are at the countryside farming fields. everyone is taking same photo. if there are a hundred people there, your photo might be better, it might be better lit,

But for the most part of the composition of farming fields from those 100 people isn't gonna differ very much as a photographer. and this doesn't just have to do with landscape photos, let's say you're taking a picture of deck of something cards like or may be you're shooting a smartphone or a pair of boots or a books, it doesn't matter could be a living room. try to think that the most common, typical place the photo will be taken from. so everyone stands away the dirt road here to make point to trigger the farming fields here, but think get that in your head and then completely it off. think ok am gonna shoot it from another aspect, i am gonna shoot it by covering the dirt road along with the fields and a bit of sky in it and then "klitchakk".....shoot it i'm gonna shoot it to left and the right in which way i can get better frame it's these little things it's these little tips that end up producing huge results. take more time to get satisfied to yourself with the photos you taking, this is what everybody does right here, what is completely opposite from what everybody does? and i'm gonna do that, you might surprice yourself. Hell it could be shit too.

4. LIGHTING

Let's talk about lighting , lighting is huge. if your stuff isn't lit well?

•  no one can see it, cause it has to look bad, lighting scares a lot of people. 

people are thinking oh i don't know how to set up lights or i don't own lights, even i don't have lighting setup for now, but the solution is very easy. i'm probably gonna do an entire blog on this subject itself, just move to a window. that's it just stand in front of a window. if your shooting an object just move to a window

  

Take a look at this picture that i snapped towards the window, hmm.. it doesn't looks good. because the lighting coming from the window is directly landing on the camera lens but if we change the direction out of light forward to lens. let's look at this picture below↓

So this is how lighting effects your photo so keep things in mind that you've to shoot from the light source rather than facing to light.

If you trying to take a picture of something in a restaurent and the lighting is very poor.

just wait , just do it tomorrow if it's rainy and it looks bad, but this picture is lit good because i took it with an appropriate lens, if you can't figure out the light there probably a reason you shouldn't be taking the picture right now, unless thats your job and that's a whole other story. we're just talking about regular people taking photos on a regular basis and we wanna up that quality, your not gonna die, there's no fire wait for another good time to figure out the best picture unless having a bad one as memory. wait for golden hour and if you don't know when golden hour is you can google it. there's apps to show it,

                   Window light is naturally diffused  especially if you're on a cloudy day. that cloud cover provides a big giant soft box if you will so your photos probably gonna end up looking 100 times better and your gonna say to yourself Damn' this actually looks incredible. your welcome...........

5. FRAMING

Placing objects into the frame that help tell a story, may be it's people or may be it's something may be it's different objects. let's say we're gonna take a picture of an object alone, for example i'm taking a picture of a lens cap, so how does it looks like!

It's a kind of look so boring 😒

And now we're gonna take a picture of a tattoo on a hand by placing things like a mobile phone and lens cap then see how it make difference comparing to the before photo.

Those things are just creeping into the frame, but that's provides an atmosphere now, the picture much more interesting. it's not just focused on mobile and it's not just focused on lens cap we're make that very clear by keeping those things unfocused and to the edges, they are not the focus points the tattoo is the focus point but we added these extra elements to just create more of a mood more feeling more of story in this photograph and it took extra 10 seconds to drop these things in it 

All these tips are just very very very basic tips but will elevate your photography.

Try them out i think your gonna get some milage out of it 

Thanks.
