How to be more creative in your picture taking
Taking pictures can be a form of expression and a way to show creativity, but it can also be a form of entertainment. Learning about photography and how to do it, just for fun, can be entertainment. Taking pictures with your friends when you hang out or taking pictures of your family to look back on later to see how you've grown. These can be forms of entertainment that are not often thought about in that way. Here are some unique but simple ideas to help you acheive better pictures.
1To me photography is about capturing a moment to record it forever. Photogtaphy is a form of expression. I find candid pictures very expressive bacause they easily represent what was happening when the photo was taken. A candid picture is a picture of someone who is not aware you are taking a picture.
Every candid picture is different, and if you get in the habit of taking pictures often you are bound to catch a good moment.
3Know your subject. Knowing the person you are photographing makes it easier to be creative because your are more comfortable with someone you know. So take pictures of your best friends, your siblings or your parents!
2Nature photos are so common. How can you make yours different? Different perspectives, angles, even filters can give you a unique nature photo. One way to make a nature picture look different is to put a person in it, even just reaching out and touching the flower your are photographing will make your picture unique.
