We can’t stop the flow of time, but we can freeze the moments by clicking some good pictures. Now many of us can think about how to make a good picture. Satisfaction in photography comes after long hard work. Now let’s know some tips to make good photography.
Lighting
Lighting and exploitation of lighting are very important for good photography. Backlighting always gives an amazing feel. But if you are doing backlighting in natural light, your photo might get overexposed. So, you can use a bouncer or can set you a subject where you can have a building or big field behind your subject. Off-camera flash can help a lot. Side lighting is an excellent factor in photography which presents a good balance between light and shadow.
Posing
You have to choose how your subject can pose to maintaining the atmosphere. Not all poses might not be done by your subject perfectly or candidly. So, it might felt them awkward and the natural outcome can be disturbed. The candid photo always admirable. So, try to suggest or give good poses. In wedding photography, you can exploit the window. Posing your bride against the window gives an elite effect in photography.
Time
Time is very important. Different rules get followed during night photography and day photography. It is wise to choose the golden hour. The time one hour after sunrise or one hour before sunset. Try to avoid the mid-day photoshoots when the sun at the top of your head it creates eye pockets and many overexposed photos.
Tools
Choose good tools. To collect with the minute details one can use microlenses. But in portrait photography, one can use mid lenses which is better. Carry reflectors to avoid underexposed or overexposed photographs. It also helps to fill the light. One must carry a spare camera so that you can continue your work even if one gets damaged. Carrying a tripod can give stability to your photography. Use diffuser, lens caps, etc. to control the light and atmosphere of the photograph.
Story
We know a photograph can tell a thousand stories. So, before you click a photo, you have to think that what message you are going to send or want to send. If you can’t tell a story people won’t like it because all we want to relate ourselves with each creative thing. We expect to know the story which the frame reflects. So, try to tell a story with your photos.
Not only on special occasions, we click photos for active participation in social media also. But most importantly we like to save our moments in the frame so that we can recall our times. If a photograph doesn’t look good you won’t feel the goodness of the time because the bad photography can distract you from taking the time out from your memory archive and nourish it. You might not be a photographer, but it is also not that tough to be one. If you have a good understanding of light, pose, and capability of telling stories, you can conquer the frame.
