Tips to shoot curves in photography:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1. Hold your camera up high, and shoot down<\/h2>\n

\"57FE8494-89AA-4EED-B867-6CEF49500DBB\" <\/a> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>\n

Look for the curve in the background, hold your camera high in the air, and point downwards. Tilt your camera to exaggerate the curve!<\/p>\n

2. Look for the odd person out<\/h2>\n

If you see lots of kids looking one way, look for one person or kid that breaks the pattern!<\/p>\n

In other words, “Spot the not!”<\/p>\n

3. Photograph people while they’re leaving the frame<\/h2>\n

\"BC70CDB2-188F-4C04-96D5-311CD5A5FF87\" <\/a> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>\n

Shoot wide-angle, and put your subject in the extreme left or right of the frame.<\/p>\n
