Photography is an art on the verge of science. The master must understand not only the laws of aesthetics and composition, but also electronics, and before the invention of the digital apparatus, chemistry was also relevant. Therefore, before you start learning this creative profession, master your instrument.
Instructions
Step 1
Learn to hold your camera. The most stable position is with both hands, near the face (eyepiece to the eye), press your elbows to the body. If the device has a display, it is not necessary to press down, but it is dangerous to stretch your arms as well: your arms will become less stable support. Do not grip the camera too tightly so that your hands do not tremble from the strain.
Step 2
Photos means light. The lighting should be directed towards the subject, not against the lens. The best lighting is daytime sun, the worst is twilight. At this time, the camera cannot adapt to the transitional lighting, it loses focus.
Step 3
Determine the boundaries of the frame - crop it. You can use guidance, or you can just walk up or walk away. You can only select an angle on the go: approach the subject from the side you want to shoot from.
Step 4
Keep the camera level with the subject. If you shoot from above, the top will be disproportionately large, and the bottom will be similar to the bottom. This is only possible when creating a special effect.
Step 5
The main subject should stand out in shape, color, size or other characteristics. The background design should be muted: less sharp, less bright, less colorful.
Step 6
Press the button smoothly, release it also without effort. Applying too hard pressure can blur the frame, especially without the flash.
