From PHOTOGRAPHY 101<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

1. Make more dynamic compositions<\/h2>\n

Avoid symmetry. Avoid static photos. Make your subjects move. Integrate hand gestures<\/a>. Shoot a lot of the same scene. Study contact sheets<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Take risks<\/a>. Make blurry photos. Out of focus photos.<\/p>\n

Let serendipity enter your photos, by clicking randomly. Then when you sit down, look at your best shots, and choose the photos that stir your heart-strings.<\/p>\n
