Some simple photography tips and ideas for you to start shooting more!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1. Shoot from inside a car window, and use the window frame as a “frame in a frame”<\/h2>\n

When you’re a passenger in a car, shoot looking out!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

2. Practice your layering composition at grocery stores<\/h2>\n

When you go to buy groceries, try to capture the chaos inside a grocery store!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

3. Photograph people as they enter or exit<\/h2>\n

Look for entrances and exits, and wait for the “decisive moment”; when they enter or leave a place. This will add more drama and dynamic tension to your photo:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

4. For more dynamic photos, tilt your camera<\/h2>\n

To heighten the drama in a photo, tilt your camera when you’re shooting!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

5. Shoot with a camera with an LCD screen from a high angle, looking down<\/h2>\n

Hold your camera high in the air, and point downwards, to simplify your photo and scene:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

6. Simple silhouettes<\/h2>\n

Make simple silhouette photos by shooting -1 or -2 exposure compensation when a light source is behind your subject:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

7. Shoot photos in “smoker only” areas<\/h2>\n

Wait for them to blow cigarette smoke, for a more dramatic photo!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

8. Photograph your own hand<\/h2>\n

There’s something beautiful about photographing your own hand, to put your own soul into your pictures.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

9. Create a surreal selfie by replacing your head with another visual object<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

10. Photograph gritty and colorful textures<\/h2>\n

Get close, use macro mode, and also sometimes experiment using a flash. No matter how boring your environment, it you look close enough, you’ll always find something interesting to shoot!<\/p>\n

Conclusion: Make it intimate<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Put yourself and your soul into your pictures.<\/p>\n

With your photography ask yourself:<\/p>\n

\n Why is this photograph meaningful to me, and what does this photograph show in terms of my relationship to my subjects, and how I see the world?\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Make it subjective and personal!<\/p>\n
