The Photographer's Goal - and How to Achieve It

 

You may be saying, ð€˜I always strive to make my photos as beautiful as the subjectð€¦but how do I consistently accomplish this simple goal?" My answer is that we do it through light and composition. Here are some composition tips that I discuss in my book. Black & White Nude Photography:

Rules of Thirds:

Many beginning photographers consistently put their models or subjects in the middle of the frame. Dividing the frame into thirds with imaginary lines and aligning the subject with those imaginary lines gives your image better harmony.

 

Frames:

Doors, windows or other framing objects can help to define a model and/or subject by directing the viewer"s eye. Using frames within frames can emphasize the effect.

 

Negative Space:

Empty areas set off the model or subject of your photo. Use the space to provide an uncluttered background for your subject.

 

Control the Viewer"s Eye Movement:

Photographers can deliberately plan the path of the viewer"s eye. For example, positioning a model where paths or creeks converge draws the viewer"s eye to the model.

 

Tonal Contrast:

Contrast helps to set elements of a photo off from one another. A light figure posed against dark clouds provides strong contrast that sets off the model. Use of filters helps to create color and tonal contrast.

 

Tell a Story:

Expressions, poses and scenes combine to suggest emotions and events helping the viewer to become more involved with your photo.

 

Remove Noise:

Rid the frame of extra detail and unneeded elements that prove distracting.

Try these tips during your next photo session and and see how they help improve your shooting!

The Many Types of Digital Cameras

We can all appreciate digital cameras for the fact that we no longer have to wait to see our pictures and pay to get them developed.  We can now look at the photo as soon as we take it and if we donð€™t like it, just delete it.  You can even edit your picture on your computer with editing software, you can crop it, remove red-eye, and more.  You can even record video on many digital cameras.  Digital photography actually started with NASAð€™s space technology that took digital images to capture pictures of the moonð€™s surface.  The government was also using this technology in forms of spy cameras.  Soon Kodak, Sony, and other companies were releasing digital cameras for everyone.  When you are looking to buy a digital camera there are a few different types you can consider.
