5 Top Tips To Taking Good Photographs

1) Get Down To Their Level

Hold the camera at eye-level to connect with the subject

2) Use Flash

Use flash even when it’s light outside to prevent

unintentional shadows!

Use it to make subjects to stand out from the

background

3) Move In Close

Move in close to fill your picture with the subject

4) Focus The Subject

1. Centre the subject2. Begin to press the button down3. Check the image is how you want it4. Shoot

5) Watch The Light

If an unwanted shadow is appearing across your

photo, ask the subject to move or take a photo from a

different angle

Remember!

• Digital cameras mean you can take several photos, from different angles with different lighting effects and select the best later

• Try to get as many different photos of the subject as possible and worry about bad/good photos when you can see them on a big screen
