5 Tips For Getting The Most Out Of Your Photos
1 . The Setup - light matters and natural light is best . Avoid direct light and when possible avoid flashes altogether . They wash out both colors and details and make your pictures look flat .
2 . The Camera - what the photo is being used for ? Pictures that you ’ re uploading to social media sites can be taken on your smartphone . If you ’ re looking for something to use in print , consider purchasing a digital camera with ten megapixels or higher ( the more pixels , the higher the image resolution .)
3 . The Features - there are multiple settings on your camera , get to know them . One to keep in mind is the macro mode . If you ’ re shooting products for your online store or shooting small items , the macro mode allows your camera to focus very close to an object – sometimes within centimeters .
4 . The Permission - if you ’ re shooting an event at your store with customers , make sure you have their authorization to use their image . Also , consider taking pictures behind the audience , so you get a view of the audience focused on your speaker .
5 . The Stock - sometimes the best photo isn ’ t the one you take , it ’ s the one you purchase . Stock photos are photos that have already been taken by a photographer . You can browse through these pictures and buy the right to use that photograph in your marketing . Stock photos fall in one of 3 categories : Royalty-free ( typically you pay a one-time fee to use the image multiple times for multiple purposes ), Rights-managed ( the value of a license is determined by the utilization of the picture ) and Public Domain .
