Photographing People
- Photos with one person - turn your camera vertically
- Use the fill flash setting to avoid shadows on faces
- For clearer shots, get closer to your subject instead of using the zoom
Composition
- To make your subject stand out, avoid distracting backgrounds
- Photographing your subject off-center will create a more interesting shot
QUICK STUDY SUBJECT: Kids
- Do something fun. It's hard to take a bad picture of children when they're enjoying themselves.
- Spontaneous shots of kids can be just as good as a formal portrait.
- A good noisemaker works well to get their attention.
