Brain Top Off!

One of the ways pictures are taken most of the time is in a portrait style.  Portraits are when you have the subject framed in a shot.  Since it is so common a lot of times you don’t see a variety.But if you try and use a little more creativity you can make the average shots so much better.With this article I would like to share with you some things you can do to make them better.

First thing you can do differently is having the photo taken from a different perspective.What I am talking about is to not take the photograph from where you would normally take it.You can have the picture’s direction changed and coming from a different angle.  This is helpful in my San Diego photographer business.People are so accustomed to the way most photos are taken that when it is taken differently it makes such a big difference.  For example photos you can take from a high angle.Or you can make a common portrait and take it from the ground looking up to make it different.It can really change the photograph dramatically.

Another good photography is playing with the eyes.Most of the pictures that are taken are usually with the subject looking into the camera.But where you direct the subject’s eye can really make a dramatic difference in the photo.What you could do differently is having the subject look off camera.This really changes the look of the photograph and how it feels. Doing a lot of event photography San Diego I have my subjects do this all the time.

Another thing you can do is have the subject look at something within the frame.  This works great if you are trying to advertise something.You can have the product you are promoting be the thing the subject is looking at.  This is a trick that I do a lot as a San Diego commercial photographer.  It really helps focus the attention on the product.

So those were some ways that you can take a photo that people are used to one way and changing it for the better.
