Guide for photographers
Shoot with some depth of field
A shallow depth of field helps isolate your subject, while a deep one captures more context.
Don’t be afraid to try unique angles
Overhead, down below, or even unconventional perspectives can make an image more dynamic.
Get into the scene
Make the viewer feel as though they are part of the action by shooting from an immersive perspective.
Use objects out of focus in the foreground
Framing your subject with blurred elements adds depth and intrigue.
Try to shoot with natural light
Shadows should be dark and rich but fall off naturally for a balanced look.
Capture candid moments
Authentic expressions and movement bring life and storytelling to your shots.
Use leading lines
Roads, fences, or even light and shadows can subtly guide the viewer’s eye toward your subject.
Think in layers
Incorporate foreground, middle ground, and background to create a sense of depth.
Play with negative space
Letting your subject breathe within a frame can create a minimalist, striking effect.
Mind your color palette
Harmonizing colors can set the mood, while contrast helps subjects pop.
Tell a story
A single photo or sequence should evoke emotion, curiosity, or a sense of place.
Adjust your perspective
Shoot close-up details, wide shots, and everything in between for variety and context.
