Better communication is not just about language.<\/p>\n
Visitors to this website recognize that photographs play an integral part in human communication today.<\/p>\n
And this made me wonder: What are three recommendations that I would make to anyone who wants to improve his or her photographic skills?<\/p>\n
The answer? 1.<\/strong> Watch your angles! 2.<\/strong> Watch your lighting! 3.<\/strong> Watch your distance!<\/p>\n 1. Watch your angles!<\/strong><\/p>\n By watching your angles, you can dramatically improve your photos.<\/p>\n My first recommendation is to watch for vertical objects behind the people in your photos.<\/p>\n My second recommendation is to look for the best profiles of the people in your photos.<\/p>\n My third recommendation about angles is to “mix it up” a bit.<\/p>\n 2. Watch your lighting!<\/strong><\/p>\n Photography literally means writing with light<\/em>, so photography is meaningless without light.<\/p>\n I recommend that you watch out for a mixture of shadows and light on faces.<\/p>\n I recommend that you augment lighting where possible.<\/p>\n And I recommend that you be mindful about your shutter speeds.<\/p>\n 3. Watch your distance!<\/strong><\/p>\n Watching your distance requires appreciation that viewing a photograph is not like viewing a scene.<\/p>\n My most important recommendation is to take close-ups whenever possible.<\/p>\n My second recommendation is to notice the depth of field in each photo that you are about to take.<\/p>\n My third recommendation is to pay attention to focus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Better communication is not just about language.
