A photographer's skill can be improved over the years. In this difficult business, both professionals and beginners are united by the need to follow certain rules in order for the picture to be truly high-quality and interesting.
Try to shoot in such a way that the subject of the photo is not just in the frame, but completely fills it. The subject on which your attention is focused must certainly play a key role, and not be just one element of the whole picture. Change the position of the camera, get as close to the subject as necessary. You should only be limited by the capabilities of the camera, because while a high-quality model provides the ability to shoot almost closely, a cheaper analog, as a rule, allows you to get a clear image only from a distance of several meters.
Be especially careful when defining frame boundaries. Before taking a photo, make sure to capture the entire subject, not cropping part of your subject's face, or setting the bottom of the frame around the knees if the shot is to be full-length. Such errors are often found not only among people far from the craft, but also among some professionals.
Most often, a person's gaze crosses the picture diagonally, especially if it is an unfamiliar frame, seen for the first time. Key points in the photo should be located in the upper right and lower left areas of the image. It is these zones that are best suited for important subject elements of the photograph, which attract attention and make the frame memorable.
Creating each frame, try to express with its help any artistic thought or idea. The snapshot may simply be a reflection of a picturesque natural landscape or phenomenon, an endless corn field or an afternoon thunderstorm, or it may show something unusual or rare, with which people viewing the photo do not meet in everyday life at all, or, on the contrary, see it so often that do not notice the hidden beauty and uniqueness. It is this kind of beauty that a skilled photographer can discover for those around him.
