your photograph are placed.• Things to consider:– How many people or things do you want in your
photograph? – Do you want the people or things close together or to have space between them?

Head Room
• Properly framing your subject(s)
Exposure
• The amount of light exposed on your photograph
Background and Subject• The background is anything in the picture behind
the subject.• The subject is the person, people, or things that
are the main focus of your picture.• Make sure the background is how you want it to
be before taking your picture and consider moving things around or changing your location…unless you plan to change this later while editing.In this picture the
person and his hand are the main subject and the desks, classroom, and other students are the background.
Face vs. Back
• Faces tell stories; backs tell nothing
Feeling, Mood , Emotion• Think about what feeling, mood, or emotion
you want to be shown in the photograph.• Do you want the items and people in your
photograph to seem:– happy– serious or sad– casual/relaxed– formal/posed
