1. Get close and shoot a vertical and use a flash<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I often get close with macro, shoot with a flash<\/a>, and get close enough until the edges of my frame are filled with my subject (Cindy, or strangers).<\/p>\n

All shot at 28mm<\/a>, flash, and RICOH GR II:<\/p>\n

\"ERIC <\/a> <\/div> <\/div>

Fill the frame with lines and shapes and forms, by not having distracting elements in the background.<\/p>\n

Simple green in the background. Just stick to one color.<\/p>\n
