Tip 6: Go vertical
The next time you’re about to take a photo, think about what the end result would be if you happened to rotate your camera 90 degrees.
Experiment with how you compose your images and take both a horizontal and vertical photo of the same scene or subject. You’ll be pleasantly surprised at the results. For example, if you’re taking a photo of a sunset, a horizontal shot will allow you to capture more of the horizon whereas a vertical photo of the same sunset will give you the ability to capture more of the foreground. A mix of horizontal and vertical images of family or friends is another great way to differentiate your photo collection.
Tip 7: Get low and get down
This is a great photo tip for taking photos of children or pets.
Try seeing eye-to-eye with your subject. By simply crouching down to your subject’s level you’re able to bring a different perspective to your photos. Photos of children, taken from their eye-level, are much more personal and powerful than those taken from above. Photos of pets taken from a low-angle also give you the ability to capture expressions on their faces, like curiosity and excitement, which you wouldn’t have been able to see from above.
